The Spells in These Notes, as the Game Data Has Them

Each spell the notes name, read from the current game build: school, cast time, duration, the skill line that teaches it and its tooltip with amounts left out.

  • Savagery Named in 1 of these notes (Hunter). Physical, 2 sec cast. Taught through the Enchanting skill line. Current tooltip: “Permanently enchant a two-handed melee weapon to increase attack power. Cannot be applied to items higher than level.”

How this page is built

Every entry above is Blizzard Entertainment's own hotfix note, shown in full and in the order Blizzard posted it: nothing is summarised, paraphrased or added, and each date block links to the original article. The tracker reads Blizzard's official hotfix post every 30 minutes and keeps every date it has seen, so an older day stays here after it rolls off the article. Where a hotfix names a spell, item, boss, instance, zone, faction or achievement that has a page on this site, the name links to it; a name that could mean more than one record is left as plain text rather than guessed. A date with no hotfixes is simply absent.
