Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch 4.2: Rage of the Firelands. Hotfixes are updates we make on our end without requiring you to download a new patch. Some of the hotfixes below will go live the moment they are implemented, while others may require your realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. We will continue to update this thread in the days ahead as additional hotfixes are applied.


August 4


General
Balloon pets can no longer be sold to vendors.

Flight points in Outlands should correctly display for characters created after the release of patch 4.2.


Classes
Melee auto-attacks should properly trigger trinkets.

Druids
Primal Fury is correctly triggered when Rake gets a critical hit, and is putting an extra combo point on the target.

Starfall should no longer strike targets with which the druid is not in combat.




Hunters
Burning Adrenaline is properly removing the focus cost of Arcane Shot.




Rogues
Mutilate should now properly trigger trinkets.




Warriors
Deep Wounds should no longer incorrectly apply double damage when certain buffs are present on the warrior.



Dungeons & Raids


Blackrock Spire


The Scarshield Quartermaster is properly flagged as a quest NPC and not a rare spawn.




Firelands


Burning Orb attack range has been increased for the Majordomo Staghelm encounter.

The criteria for the achievement Do a Barrel Roll! reset properly after a failed attempt on Alysrazor.

Smoldering Essences are now properly applied to Firelands bosses and can be syphoned, even if the only raid member that is on step 13 of the legendary quest line dies during the encounter.

Players should never get Rage of Ragnaros on Heroic difficulty. Rage of Ragnaros will only be given on normal difficulty if someone on the legendary quest line has 250 shards. Heart of Flame should always be given on Heroic difficulty, even if a player doesn?t have Rage of Ragnaros, but does have 250 shards.




Icecrown Citadel


The Val'kyr will again despawn after the Lich King reaches 10% health. If they are in the process of carrying a player, they will first drop them to the ground before leaving.



Zul?Farrak


Player should no longer be unable to open the gates to complete the dungeon due to NPC allies dying during the troll invasion event.

The Zul'farrak Zombies and Skeletons of Zum'rah, associated with Witch Doctor Zum'rah, now clean up properly when the encounter is reset or the boss dies.



Items
Item Sets


The Burning Treant and Fiery Imp pets summoned by the Balance druid and warlock tier-12 sets now have reduced damage taken from area-of-effect spells, consistent with other combat pets.

The Smoldering Rune buff from the death knight tier-12 2-piece set bonus is now properly cleared off of the character if he/she does not have the set bonus the next time it ticks for runic power.

The Spirit buff gained from the 4-piece priest tier-11 set will be lost if the priest casts any spell or uses any ability while not wearing the set.

The warrior tier-12 4-piece damage-dealing set bonus is now properly activating, even if a Mortal Strike or Raging Blow attack is fully absorbed.




The weapon speed of the Masterwork Elementium Deathblade has been reduced to 3.5, down from 3.8.

Ricket's Magnetic Fireball now shares a burst cooldown with other on-use trinkets.

Unheeded Warning now grants 1926 attack power, instead of 680 weapon damage.



PvP

Strand of the Ancients

Stampeding Roar (druid spell) no longer grants a speed boost to Demolishers.



Quests & Creatures


Hyjal Regrowth & Molten Front

Molten Lords should no longer stay tapped by the first player who damages them while on the bombing run for the quest Fire in the Skies.

Really? This was important enough to warrant a hotfix?
