WoW Hotfixes Released for December 22-27
Even though it was a holiday weekend, it looks like Blizzard was still busy implementing a new batch of hotfixes. Druids should note that the heal from Frenzied Regeneration has been reduced by 50%.
Want to know what else has changed? Keep reading after the jump for almost a week's worth of hotfixes.
December 22 - 27
- General
- Graveyard Rats are no longer considered critters and do not give credit toward the Critter Kill Squad guild achievement.
- Weekly guild reputation caps should now properly reset at the scheduled time. An error which prevented this reset from taking place if guild experience was earned at exactly 3:00 AM server time immediately prior to weekly maintenance has been corrected.
- The achievement Saving for a Rainy Day has the same requirements as its predecessor Time to Open a Savings Account. For this reason Saving for a Rainy Day has been temporarily disabled (it will still show in the user interface), as it requires a fix via a client-side patch.
- Classes
- Druids
- The heal from Frenzied Regeneration was too powerful and has been reduced by 50%.
- Pounce now correctly shares diminishing returns with other stun effects.
- Rogues
- Cheap Shot now correctly shares diminishing returns with other stun effects.
- Warlocks
- The Felguard ability Axe Toss now properly shares diminishing returns with other stun effects.

- The Signet of High Arcanist Savor and Gilnean Ring of Ruination now have proper stats.
- Professions
- Archaeology
- Vashj'ir dig sites no longer unlock for players. They felt too punishing without additional benefits compared to low-level sites, and were much more difficult to obtain artifacts in due to the way Vashj'ir navigation works.
