Classes

Druid

Feral

  • All damage done increased by 5%. Does not affect PvP combat.

Restoration

  • Developer’s note: These changes are intended to help Restoration Druid deal with burst damage in dungeons, as they are behind other healers. They are performing well in raid settings, so we are targeting talents and abilities that are favored when healing a 5-person group.
  • Verdancy healing increased by 60%. Does not affect PvP combat.
  • Regrowth healing increased by 10%. Does not affect PvP combat.
  • Improved Swiftmend increases Swiftmend healing by 40% (was 30%). Does not affect PvP combat.

  • Volley damage increased by 10%.

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.

  • Regrowth Named in 1 of these notes (Druid). Nature, 1.5 sec cast, lasts 6 sec. Taught through the Druid skill line. Current tooltip: “Heals a friendly target and another over 6 sec. Initial heal has a 40% increased chance for a critical effect if the target is already affected by Regrowth. Usable while in Moonkin Form. Tree of Life: Instant cast.”
  • Subtlety Named in 1 of these notes (Rogue). Physical, 2 sec cast. Taught through the Enchanting skill line. Current tooltip: “Permanently enchant a cloak to decrease threat from all attacks and spells by 2%. 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.
