Tonight, we've got another round of hotfixes courtesy of Zarhym (community manager), who posted them to the official Warcraft blog. Along with what should be a welcome change to Zul'Aman for healers, there are a handful of class changes related to one particular raid encounter:

  • In Zul'Aman, Akil'zon's Static Disruption will no longer chain if players are more than 5 yards apart. Not only that, but he'll only cast it every 12 seconds, up from 5. Healers rejoice!

  • Death Knights can now cast Death and Decay correctly on Cho'gall's trapdoor.

  • Druids will note that Efflorescence's effects will now heal targets standing on Cho'gall's trapdoor.

  • Paladins can now cast Consecration on Cho'gall's trapdoor.

We've really got it in for Cho'gall's trapdoor. Follow after the break for the full list of hotfixes.
