Bug fixes for Hunters, Locks, and Death Knights tomorrow


Ghostcrawler has updated us on the status of three major bugs that have been present since patch 3.0.8 went live last Tuesday.

  • The Hunter Aspect bug, in which aspects are on a global cooldown like mechanism.

  • The Warlock Ritual of Summoning, which had a two minute cooldown implemented to prevent some sort of undisclosed exploit.

  • Howling Blast, which showed to not have a cooldown, but in reality had a five second one.

"Assuming nothing comes up at the last minute", Ghostcrawler says, "[these] will be fixed tomorrow."

There is no word if these fixes will come in the form of a small patch to the client, or if they are going to be done server side. Since the Howling Blast is a bug that is linked to client data files, I would assume that fixing it necessitates rolling out a minor patch. However that's just an assumption based on the way things were done in the past, and Blizzard could have other technology present to circumvent the need for a full patch.

Nonetheless, a couple more bugs will get fixed tomorrow. This is a good thing.
