🛠️ Hotfixes – March 20, 2025

🧙‍♂️ Classes

🏰 Dungeons and Raids

• Path of the Light now correctly teleports players to the meeting stone in front of the Sanctum of Holy Flame.

Operation: Mechagon – Junkyard

• Fixed an issue where Rixxa Fluxflame’s Explosive Burst of Compressed Gas would continue to knock players back even after the channel ended.

🌍 Cataclysm Classic

Dragon Soul

• Claws of Go’rath should no longer throw players under the terrain.

• Ultraxion (Players can now correctly use positional abilities (e.g., Backstab, Shred) regardless of their facing or position during the encounter.)

PvP

• The up to 50% battleground health bonus buff has been disabled.
• The global damage reduction in PvP has been increased to:50% for physical damage
