Patch 52 hotfixes for March 15

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.

  • Players participating in Lunk's Adventure: Rendari's Weakness should be delighted to note that Iron Summit Guards are now properly gonna shake their body and do the conga.

  • Mages, we're very sorry to report that both Living Bomb and Nether Tempest are now dealing 70% of their damage when used against other players instead of 100%.

  • Drinking a potion while under the effects of Stealth or Invisibility no longer causes potions to go on permanent cooldown.

Read on for the full list of hotfixes.
