Patch 12.1 PTR Development Notes - Class Bug Fixes

Blizzard has released new Patch 12.1 PTR Development Notes, including several bug fixes for Druids, Evokers, Monks, and Hunters, along with an added effect for the Season 2 Holy Paladin tier set.

Additional changes to the Curse of Ula’tek PTR:

CLASSES
DRUID
Restoration

Fixed an issue where Abundance’s bonus critical strike chance to Regrowth was not working correctly.
Fixed an issue where the Abundance effect would not properly be extended by Flourish.
Regrowth healing reduced by 20%.

EVOKER

Preservation

Fixed an issue where Consume Flame healing was not being increased by Grace Period or similar effects.
Fluttering Seedlings healing is now also increased by Titan’s Gift.

HUNTER

Beast Mastery

Hero Talents
Dark Ranger
Fixed an issue where Through The Eyes was not properly increasing Withering Fire’s damage.

Marksmanship

Fixed an issue where applying Spotter’s Mark: Rapid Fire after Rapid Fire had finished channeling but before all of its projectiles had reached the target would improperly consume the Spotter’s Mark: Rapid Fire debuff.
Fixed an issue where casting Aimed Shot twice in a row while talented into Aspect of the Hydra incorrectly prevented the second cast of Aimed Shot from being able to cause a Deathbringer proc from the Deathblow talent.
Fixed an issue where secondary Aimed Shots from the Aspect of the Hydra talent would incorrectly consume the Deathbringer buff from the Deathblow talent.
Fixed an issue where Explosive Shot was incorrectly damaging the primary target of Explosive Shot with the explosion damage.
Hero Talents
Dark Ranger
Fixed an issue where Through The Eyes was not properly increasing Withering Fire’s damage.

Survival

Fixed an issue where Raptor Swipe could cause Sentinel’s Mark to be applied to a target that was not your currently selected target. If you do not have a target selected when using Raptor Swipe, a target hit by Raptor Swipe will be chosen.
Fixed an issue where Outland Venom was not properly applied by various periodic effects from either the Hunter, their current pet, or other summons from the Pack Leader Hero Talents.
Fixed an issue where Mastery: Spirit Bond incorrectly affected some summons from the Pack Leader Hero Talents twice.

MONK

Brewmaster

Fixed an issue where Flurry Strikes’ Physical damage was not being correctly increased by Bring Me Another or the Venomous Abyss 4-set bonus.

Mistweaver

Developers’ notes: Morning Breeze’s value is being adjusted down in accordance with the Mastery: Gust of Mist increases in Curse of Ula’tek. This should leave the talent’s effectiveness at a similar overall level.

Morning Breeze effectiveness reduced by 60%.

PALADIN

Holy

Developers’ notes: We are happy with the rotational impact of the Venomous Abyss class set for Holy Paladin, but it has also caused the specialization to be more mana efficient than intended. We are adding an effect that increases the mana cost of Holy Light to the set bonus and also increasing Holy Paladin’s overall output alongside this adjustment to compensate for this change. We will keep a watchful eye on where gameplay lands from here and make further adjustments if necessary. Thank you for your ongoing feedback!

The Venomous Abyss 4-set bonus – Now additionally increases Holy Light’s mana cost by 60%.
All healing increased by 5%.

PRIEST

Discipline

Apex Talent: Master the Darkness – Void Shield absorption increased by 3%.

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

Developers’ notes: We would like to speed up gearing for players who are participating late in the PvP season, so we are increasing Conquest gains from Spoils of War. This will activate partway through the season, once Conquest has become uncapped.
