OCTOBER 19, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Classes
  • Mind Flay, and other similar spells, will no longer benefit from movement impairment reduction as a cast speed bonus.

Here are the recent hotfixes to Wrath Classic:

OCTOBER 14, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Deep Wounds no longer triggers from non-Physical damage, such as the Fiery Weapon enchant.
  • Developers’ note: Warriors have recently discovered that with the changes to Critical Strike Rating in Wrath, they can now get critical hits on spells quite often, and that those spell critical hits trigger Deep Wounds. Prior to Wrath, Warriors did not get increased spell critical chance from their gear. This discovery has resulted in players changing their enchantments on weapons to low-level enchantments that don’t do much damage, but can trigger Deep Wounds and gain a significant damage increase over intended level 70-80 enchantments. Deep Wounds was never intended to benefit from these enchantments. Because of how Deep Wounds works, this advantage would continue to grow as Warriors gain better gear with more Critical Strike Rating. Additionally, some Warrior players are now looking for additional ...

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Naxxramas
