We've seen plenty of hotfixes for the patch 4.1 PTR, but it's been awhile since we've seen any hotfixes for patch 4.0.6. A new round of 4.0.6 hotfixes was released on the official WoW blog, with plenty of fixes to Blackwing Descent, including the following:

  • Atramedes will no longer sometimes snap back to his starting location as he finishes casting Sonic Breath.

  • Maloriak's Scorching Breath should no longer incorrectly share its damage among pets. To offset what would be increased damage per player as a result of this fix, the damage dealt by the ability has been reduced on heroic difficulty.

  • The Omnotron Defense System encounter has had its health reduced by 15% on heroic difficulty, and the damage of Incineration Security Measure has been reduced.

Follow after the break for the full list of hotfixes.



Zarhym

  • General

    • Using macros no longer halts or delays transports.

  • Classes

    • Priests

      • Casting Holy Word: Chastise against bosses will cause damage, but no longer disorient them when they are immune to such effects.

  • Dungeons & Raids

    • Bastion of Twilight

      • Valiona and Theralion overall damage and health has been reduced by roughly 10% on Heroic difficulty. In addition, Twilight Zone no longer increases damage taken from Rift Blast.

    • Blackwing Descent

      • Atramedes will no longer sometimes snap back to his starting location as he finishes casting Sonic Breath.

      • Magmaw overall damage and health was a little too high on all difficulties and has been reduced slightly. In addition, on Heroic difficulty, Nefarian will now prefer ranged targets when spawning Blazing Bone Constructs.

      • Maloriak's Scorching Breath should no longer incorrectly share its damage among pets. To offset what would be increased damage per player as a result of this fix, the damage dealt by the ability has been reduced on Heroic difficulty.

      • Players will move at the same speed, even when setting their normal speed to "walk" using the keybind, when Nefarian casts Dominion.

      • The Omnotron Defense System encounter has had its health reduced by 15% on Heroic difficulty, and the damage of Incineration Security Measure has been reduced.

  • Items

    • The Sands of Time is now a blue superior-quality item. This item can still be used to craft Vial of the Sands when combined with other required materials. The vendor price is unchanged.

      • The Beserking buff obtained by killing Schnottz Supply Choppers will now be removed when a player leaves Uldum.
