Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
Hotfixes
March 28, 2022 Classes- Death Knight
Unholy
All damage increased by 5%.
Druid - Guardian
(4) Set Bonus: Architect's Aligner now deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets.
Developer note: Architect’s Aligner dealing damage to an uncapped amount of targets was unintended and did not apply the philosophy we introduced earlier in Shadowlands: allowing abilities to hit all targets, but not at full effect. We are implementing a fix in this week’s weekly maintenance to align this bonus with other effects that are similar to it. Additionally, we will be watching its performance and will make additional adjustments if the need arises. Thank you for the feedback regarding this bonus!
Feral - All damage increased by 3%.
- Primal Wrath damage increased by 10%.
- Brutal Slash damage increased by 20%.
- Swipe damage increased by 15%.
- Thrash damage increased by 20%.
Hunter - Beast Mastery
Beast Cleave now deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets (was 5). - All damage increased by 3%.
Monk - Mistweaver
Spinning Crane Kick damage increased by 30%.
Rogue - Outlaw
Blade Flurry now strikes nearby enemies for 50% of normal damage (was 40%).
Shaman - Elemental

Demoralizing Shout now reduces the damage enemies deal to you by 25% (was 20%). - Ignore Pain now reduces the cost of Ignore Pain to 35 Rage (was 40 Rage).

Dungeons and Raids- Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder
The Grand Menagerie
Fixed an issue where Gluttonous Feast could fail to cast at the beginning of The Grand Menagerie encounter in Tazavesh.
- Sepulcher of the First Ones
Skolex, the Insatiable Ravener
Skolex's health has been reduced by ~6% in Mythic and Heroic difficulties.
Dausegne, the Fallen Oracle - Dausegne’s health has been reduced by ~6% in Heroic difficulty.
- Disintegration Halo vulnerability reduced to 200% in Normal and Raid Finder difficulties.
Lords of Dread - Swarm of Darkness and Swarm of Decay caused by Mal'Ganis' Unto Darkness will now increase all damage taken by 100% rather than only area-of-effect abilities.
Developer note: When originally creating the Unto Darkness and Swarm abilities for the Lords of Dread, the idea was intended to be in the flavor of the dreadlords turning into an actual swarm and being adversely affected by area-of-effect abilities such as Flamestrike. However, the way it played out was that this proved to be very limiting in which classes could perform at a required level for harder difficulties. We're making a change to update the vulnerability from area-of-effect damage to all damage taken so that every damage class can enjoy the phase equally.
Rygelon - Reduced boss health by 5% on Heroic difficulty.
- Reduced the damage of Stellar Decay by 20% on Heroic difficulty.
- Reduced the health of Unstable Quasars by approximately 33% on Heroic difficulty.
