Some like it hot(fixes), and we're no different here at WoW Insider, so when the latest batch dropped we just had to share. We actually posted about one of these changes, regarding the Shado-Pan assault trinkets and their PvP use, earlier today. Let's jump straight in to this latest batch.

Blizzard

Classes
Warlock
Destruction

• Fixed an issue where targets of Havoc were receiving more damage than intended from Immolate.

Quests

• Eyes of the Thunder King: Engaging Unblinking Eyes and Focused Eyes will now place all members of the raid in combat, preventing players from releasing when they die.

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
Throne of Thunder
Ra-den

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to have 2 instances of Unstable Vita active during the Ra-den encounter.

Twin Consorts

• Crane Rush now deals 5 million damage, down from 30 million damage in Raid Finder difficulty.

Items

• Brutal Talisman of the Shado-Pan Assault now grants a reduced bonus of 4400 to Strength, down from 8800 Strength, and the effect duration now lasts 30 seconds, up from 15 seconds when the effect is activated in PvP combat.
• Tyrannical Primal Diamond when socketed to a bind-on-equip helmet now causes the helmet to become soulbound.
• Vicious Talisman of the Shado-Pan Assault now grants a reduced bonus of 4400 to Agility, down from 8800 Agility, and the effect duration now lasts 40 seconds, up from 20 seconds when the effect is activated in PvP combat.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where Capacitive Primal Diamond's effect was not activating properly.

The latest set of hotfixes are here, and as you'd expect, a lot of them relate to the Throne of Thunder raid, the last Raid Finder wing of which opened yesterday in the US, and today in the EU. Amongst the abilities and elements which have suffered nerfs, Durumu will now pause for longer after his "Eye Sores" -- the maze of purple doom -- before starting up his regular attacks again. Tortos' whirl turtles have now had an issue removed where, just occasionally, they would proceed towards the boss at what seemed like a glacially slow speed, even when kicked in a timely fashion!

What's more, there have been several nerfs to heroic boss abilites, which implies that, with the world first race over, heroic progression might not be going quite as quickly as the development team had imagined. Again, these are targeted nerfs to specific abilities, and to a few bugs, such as Iron Qon's champions trying to reposition themselves. However, Heroic Primordius has taken a flat 11% health nerf in both 10-man and 25-man heroic difficulty.

There have also been several adjustments to the procs of the Legendary meta gems, with changes being made to both Clearcasting and Fortitude which should allow them to function correctly. Hit the break for the full changes!

Yesterday's hotfixes may have been a short list, but today's list, just released on the official blog, are slightly more substantial. While there are a few quest fixes and tweaks, the majority of today's list of hotfixes involve the Throne of Thunder raid. Players that are currently raiding in a 10-man group may want to take a look at the list, because damage has been reduced for many of the bosses and boss abilities.

Read on for the full list of hotfixes.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's batch of hotfixes is another short and sweet edition of tweaks. Just released on the official blog, today's list primarily concerns the Throne of Thunder raid, with some incredibly welcome changes to Durumu and his baffling maze, as well as a peculiarly specific bug fix for tauren and gnome players.

Rygarius

Classes

• Hunter
  • Talents
    • Powershot now has a 25% decrease to damage, cast time, cooldown, and focus cost.

Raids, Dungeons and Scenarios

• Throne of Thunder
  • Durumu the Forgotten
    • Safe spots in the maze of Eye Sores now appear earlier, before the Disintegration Beam starts moving.
    • Adjustments were made to visual effects for Eye Sores to make it easier to see the maze.
  • Primordius
    • Mutated Abomination effect once again reduces his damage taken from non-Fully Mutated players by 75% on 10-player and 25-player Heroic difficulty only.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash that occured when Gnomes or Taurens log into the game while riding a mount over water.

A new round of hotfixes has been released on the official site. It's a pretty short list this time around, mainly tweaking a few issues with some of the encounters in Throne of Thunder, including Ra-den, and addressing a pesky bug that has been plaguing some players working on Isle of Thunder achievements.

Rygarius

Creatures

• Zandalari Beast Handler is now properly seated in a saddle while riding a Direhorrn.

Raids, Dungeons and Scenarios

• Throne of Thunder
  • Giorgio's Caduceus of Pure Moods is no longer being awarded to Elemental and Restoration Shamans on Raid Finder difficulty or via bonus rolls.
  • Primordius
    • During the Primordius encounter, spells which dispel a single harmful effect (Sear Magic, Single Magic, or Mass Dispel) will no longer work if any of the positive effects are active on the target (Improved Synapses, Keen Eyesight, Thick Bones, Clear Mind, or Fully Mutated).
  • Ra-den
    • Fixed an issue that could prevent Ra-den from absorbing Essences of Anima/Vita as intended.
    • Engaging Ra-den now resets the cooldown on Reincarnation for Shamans.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where some situations could cause players to not receive credit towards Pay to Slay or It Was Worth Every Ritual Stone achievement after defeating Incomplete Drakkari Colossus.

The hotfixes keep on coming! The latest batch are fairly minimal, but they don't make diamonds as big as bricks. They're addressing one particular bug which WoW Insider has seen mentioned several times on Twitter lately, specifically one which would strand players on a phased warship while trying to complete the quest Extended Shore Leave. Unable, it seems, to hotfix the unphasing of the warship, Blizzard's team pulled the quest for now.

And Durumu has had a bit of a change. Interestingly, it's not to the purple-on-purple issue with his maze of purple death phase, but instead it's an increase in speed for the yellow eye cone. But, most excitingly, there's a fix in place for warlocks who have completed Seek the Signal and are stuck in the wrong Black Temple phase. Rejoice, in a warlocky way!

Rygarius

• Quests
  • Extended Shore Leave: This quest has been temporarily removed from quest rotation to address an issue with the Zandalari Warship.
• Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
  • Fixed an issue where Warlocks remained in the wrong phase at The Black Temple after completing the quest Seek the Signal.
• Throne of Thunder
  • Durumu the Forgotten
    • During the Light Spectrum phase, Yellow Eye's cone now moves more quickly on Raid Finder difficulty.
• Items
  • Darkmoon Card: Blue Dragon now has a reduced chance to activate its effect for characters that are level 61-69 and its effect no longer activates for characters above level 69.

Nobody wanted to release anything yesterday, so along with the Patch 5.3 PTR notes and datamined information, we've also got patch 5.2 hotfixes for you. Patch 5.2 must be getting cooler by the second as the number of hotfixes is ever-dwindling, but there's still some bugs that need ironing out.

Funny enough, one of them has been hotly (ha!) discussed in our WoW Insider work chat this afternoon, and that is the spawn rate of Noblegarden's Brightly Colored Eggs, which, to the relief of the team, now spawn more frequently. However, given that the hotfixes went in today, maybe there needs to be another one to sort this out once and for all! The click-war continues.

Let's check out the hotfixes themselves. They're small, but almost perfectly formed:

Blizzard decided to ring in the weekend with a short and sweet list of hotfixes for patch 5.2. Today's list is pretty short, with just a few class tweaks and a couple of additional adjustments to raid bosses and items. Combat rogues may want to take a look at the adjustment made to Blade Flurry, however.

Rygarius

Classes

• Mage
  • Tier-15 Fire/Frost 4-piece set bonus should now properly increase Frostbolt's chance to activate Fingers of Frost effect.

• Priest
  • Tier-15 Discipline/Holy 4-piece set bonus should summon a Golden Apparition that now heals for the correct amount and can activate Divine Aegis.

• Rogue
  • Combat
    • Blade Flurry now has a range of 8 yards, up from 5 yards, and will only hit targets that are within the Rogue's line-of-sight.

Raids, Dungeons and Scenarios

• Ji-Kun's Feed Young ability should now be slightly easier to intercept.
• To the Skies!: Fixed an issue where the Hail of Arrows debuff not being removed after defeating Beastmaster Horaki.

Items

• Enchant Weapon - Glorious Tyranny can no longer be used on other player's weapons and will cause bind-on-equipped items to become soulbound.

Just when you thought it was over, another round of hotfixes have been released. Today's list of fixes is pretty short and sweet, with only one small class related bug fix. The rest of the tweaks by and large involve the Isle of Thunder and the Throne of Thunder raid. And for those diligently working on stage 3 daily quests out there on the Isle, one of these changes should be a welcome relief.

Some like them hot, and the latest round of hotfixes has just hit the Warcraft official blog page, this time around there's a few changes to bosses that may well relate to the inordinate amount of time it took guilds to take down Dark Animus in the Throne of Thunder World First race, as well as some changes made to PvP weapons to even out the 2/2 upgraded elite conquest gear and this season's gear.

Here are the hotfix highlights:

Fresh off the official Warcraft blog are yet another round of hotfixes. For those wondering why we're seeing so many of these with this patch in particular, it's been mentioned by several developers and blues that 5.2 is in fact a gigantic patch, perhaps even the largest patch ever. It's certainly one of the largest raids we've ever seen, at any rate -- and there are a few more tweaks to the Throne of Thunder raid today. Also included in the mix are a smattering of class changes, and the fixing of some very pesky quest bugs that should make leveling players happier.

You didn't think the hotfixes were over with, did you? Luckily, today's list of hotfixes is short and sweet, with minimal adjustments being made to classes. In fact, there's just a few short notes this time around that by and large involve fixing things that hadn't been addressed just yet. But also included to the relief of anyone that's ever had to wait for Tsulong to fly away is an important change to bonus roll decision time.

Rygarius

Classes

• Monk
  • Chi Wave should now correctly bounce between targets that are in range.

Creatures

• Oondasta should no longer drop Terrorful Weave for Discipline and Holy Priests, and Girdle of Dimorphodontics should no longer drop for Mages and Warlocks.

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios

• The time for players to decide if they want to use a bonus roll has been increased to 3 minutes.

PvP

• Conquest quartermasters should now be properly stocked with PvP rings, amulets, and trinkets.

Professions

• Thunderforges on the Isle of Thunder can now also function as a normal anvil and forge.
• Archaeology
  • Mantid archeology items should now correctly award a Mantid Amber Sliver when turned in.

Another set of hotfixes has been released for patch 5.2 -- but this time, there's some interesting additions to the hotfixes we've grown accustomed to. While we've still got the usual round of class changes, dungeon and raid tweaks, and bug fixes, Blizzard has posted a couple of threads on the official forums that further explain some of the changes that have been made. Frankly, it's pretty cool to see some of the thoughts that go into all these hotfixes and tweaks.
