Patch 5.4 Hotfixes for September 23
The latest batch of patch 5.4 hotfixes is upon us, and some of you are going to be very happy indeed, especially those of you who play a marks hunter! They've received some hefty buffs to Chimaera Shot, with a damage increase of 50% applied. Survival's Explosive Shot has also had a 10% buff, but that pales into insignificance next to Chimaera Shot's buffs. Eternal Flame has also taken a fairly heavy nerf to its self-healing for tanking specs, and Shadow Word: Pain has taken a hit to its damage. Warlocks also got a pounding from the nerf bat.
There are also some non-class specific changes to things on the timeless isle, as well as some random bug fixes. For the full complement, hit the break!
