Patch 5.4 hotfixes for October 22

Patch 54 hotfixes for October 22

A new round of hotfixes for patch 5.4 have been released and posted to the official blog. While the list is very short, there are some notable changes this time around -- players attempting Garrosh Hellscream in Raid Finder difficulty will find him slightly less difficult to handle. In addition, Flexible raid groups should now find it slightly easier to be considered a guild group.

  • The number of guild members needed to be considered a guild group in Flexible difficulty has been reduced.

  • In Arenas, players who pick up a Shadow Sight orb will be unable to stealth for the duration of the effect.

  • The health of Minions of Y'shaarj on Raid Finder difficulty has been reduced.

Read on for the full list of hotfixes.
