January 6 is apparently buff day. A new round of hotfixes for patch 5.4.2 have been released and posted on the official blog. No bug fixes or adjustments to raid encounters this time around. Instead, the short list is simply a welcome set of buffs for both frost and unholy death knights, as well as hunters and elemental shaman.

• Death knights playing in frost specialization -- Icy talons now increases melee attack speed by 45% instead of 30%.
• Hunters, Aspect of the Hawk now increases ranged attack power by 35%, up from 25%.
• Shaman playing in elemental specialization -- Elemental Focus now increases spell damage done by 20%, up from 15%.

Read on for the full list of hotfixes.
