    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.

    Continuing the steady stream of Cataclysm tinkering we've seen this week, Blizzard has posted yet another set of hotfixes. And this is a pretty good set! Some notable changes: The duration of the Superheated Quicksilver Armor debuff on Karsh Steelbender is now 17 seconds, up from 12 seconds. The encounter was too hard to tank and went against our intended fight mechanics. The display for this buff may not properly update until a client-side patch is applied. Rare archaeology finds should now grant triple skill gains. Mekgineer Thermaplugg is no longer using outdated abilities and has a shiny new list of abilities to use. He is also no longer immune to taunts. Elemental Goos now drop 100% of the time off of Cataclysm elementals for the jewelcrafting daily quest. Chaos Orbs can now only been seen and rolled on by characters with a minimum skill level of 425 in tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking, or engineering. For the full list of hotfixes, follow us behind the break below.
