Patch 4.1 hotfixes for April 27

We've got a new list of hotfixes this evening from Community Manager Zarhym, fresh off the official Warcraft blog. Today's list of hotfixes addresses a few issues with Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman, a welcome tweak to conquest point accumulation and a few class tweaks as well.
- In Zul'Aman, the range on Amani'shi Flame Caster's Fireball Volley has been reduced to 35 yards.
- In Zul'Gurub, High Priest Venoxis' Toxic Link now has a 100-yard range, instead of being infinite.
- BoE items obtained in Zul'Gurub can now be mailed, traded, sold, and bought back as intended.
- Players will now receive 180 conquest points for an Arena win up to the weekly cap and 400 conquest points for a rated battleground win up to the weekly cap.
Follow after the break for the full list of hotfixes.
-
General
- Disconnecting immediately after dying no longer causes players to lack a Release Spirit button upon logging back in.
-
Classes
- Spells or talents which provide pushback protection should now be functioning correctly (i.e. Burning Soul for mages or Suppression for warlocks).
-
Druids
- Predator's Swiftness being active will no longer prevent Omen of Clarity Clearcasting from being consumed when it should be.
-
Hunters
- Marked for Death is now applied properly to the target of Arcane Shot or Chimera Shot, allowing for focus macros (i.e. /cast [@focus] Chimera Shot) to apply Marked for Death to the focused target and not the primary target.
- The Recluse Hatchling can correctly be targeted, attacked, and killed by players and NPCs after being tamed.
- Serpent Spread was only affecting targets closer than 38 yards to the hunter. It now affects all targets hit by Multi-Shot.
-
Priests
- Holy Word: Sanctuary should now properly benefit from Echo of Light.
-
Warlocks
- Dark Intent no longer incorrectly procs off critical direct damage spells. It still functions correctly on damage- and heal-over-time critical hits for both the warlock and the target of Dark Intent.
-
Dungeons & Raids
-
Blackwing Descent
- Obnoxious Fiends should no longer despawn erratically during the Atramedes encounter. Their behavior is now only appropriately obnoxious.
- Summoning combat pets/guardians should no longer cause any issues with the Omnotron Defense System golems becoming activated.
- Poison Bombs that Toxitron summons correctly prioritize ranged targets over melee targets first.
-
Zul'Aman
- The range on Amani'shi Flame Caster's Fireball Volley has been reduced to 35 yards (the tooltip still says 40 yards) and should no longer pull additional creatures when used by a player.
-
Zul'Gurub
- Gub will no longer cast Knock Away, as he was evading when knocking the tank into unfortunate locations.
- Toxic Link (High Priest Venoxis) now has a 100-yard range, down from infinity.
- Zul'Gurub Bind on Equip items can correctly be mailed, traded, sold, and bought back.
-
Blackwing Descent
-
Items
- Flask of Battle should now correctly grant 450 base Stamina.
- Pygmy Oil should correctly be turning players into gnomes, not funky error cubes.
- Trinket procs should no longer persist indefinitely.
- Zul'Gurub Bind on Equip items can correctly be mailed, traded, sold, and bought back.
-
PvP
- Players are now awarded 180 Conquest Points for an Arena win up to the weekly cap, up from 135, and 400 Conquest Points for a Rated Battleground win up to the weekly cap, up from 335, regardless of rating or matchup. More information can be found here.
-
Tol Barad
- Attempting to use the "Have Group, Will Travel" guild perk while the Battle for Tol Barad is in progress will now provide an error that states "You can't use that here." After a battle concludes, the guild perk works as intended and summons party members to the caster's location.
-
User Interface
- A bug was causing the addon chat filtering feature to not allow registered addon messages to come through. Addon chat filtering has been temporarily disabled and restored to 4.0.6 functionality.

Ha - the Conquest-Point-Nightmare was a short one.
Morituri te salutant, Blizzard.

What happened with the conquest points? I have not run arenas this week been doing the new 5 mans. This seems like a nerf?

Any chancE of getting amnion fixed so that the robots work properly
I know Nef calls it an old piece of junk but you don't have to prove him right
Revnah Apr 28th 2011 3:40AM
And here I was wondering why my Sanctuary STILL didn't heal for much at all, in spite of its buff. Lol!
Jeff (Not that one ^ ) Apr 28th 2011 3:41AM
LOL Gub evaded on us Tuesday night after the tank got knocked THROUGH the roof of the bridge and landed on top.
Yshara Apr 28th 2011 4:33AM
Any news on when off-GCD interrupts are actually going to hit the target as we were told? I was very disappointed last night on my first interrupt on Omnotron to see Wind Shear miss.
Alexa Apr 28th 2011 8:14AM
I agree with this. I definitely missed some wind shear casts last night as a restoration shaman. I was confused.
Would this be the type of thing you submit a bug report on in game?
Angus Apr 28th 2011 8:29AM
I had a taunt miss as well as an interrupt Tuesday.
Several other tanks reported this. Last I knew they weren't supposed to miss anymore either.

Who knew pets were causing the Omitron to be bugged.

The feral bug made us viable again on single target. But with the new swipe I can't stay mad, only the boomkin beat me on Maloriak hc.

"Poison Bombs that Toxitron summons correctly prioritize ranged targets over melee targets first."
Thank goodness. We were range heavy on Tuesday night and I was taken out twice in one fight (second time after a battle-rez, natch) and barely managed to run away on a third fixate.

Anyone have an issue with aoe dps on Magmaw?
Sleutel Apr 28th 2011 8:45AM
@carl1jenn:
Yup. Anyone with a targeting reticle was complaining about it all night.
Shadowwind Apr 28th 2011 1:47PM
"Poison Bombs that Toxitron summons correctly prioritize ranged targets over melee targets first."
That might explain a few things, like why one of the oozes suddenly turned away from the holy priest it was chasing and came and ate me instead. :-( I was standing there healing as it ran by me on its futile attempt to catch the priest, then suddenly changed its mind, turned around, and blew up right at my feet. Half the raid saw it, so it wasn't just me missing an ooze target.
Nothing on the Magmaw chain bug? Guess we're not going to be getting very far in BWD this week, then.
Marcosius Apr 28th 2011 9:26AM
No news about the servers massbooting players in numerous European Realms?
Okay..

"The range on Amani'shi Flame Caster's Fireball Volley has been reduced to 35 yards (the tooltip still says 40 yards) and should no longer pull additional creatures when used by a player."
lol, I made the mistake of MC'ng one of those and using the ability. It seemed harmless enough until about 400 things came and ate us. It pulled most of the zone.
Zuka Apr 28th 2011 2:45PM
I did the same thing. Took me a couple times of MCing a Flame Caster to realize not to use the AoE. The first time the whole instance pulled the tank blamed one of the other dps, lol. Its nice to know I can use that spell again though, because its pretty damn cool.
