WoW: August 10, 2022 hotfixes with tuning and cosmic flux adjustment

Yesterday, August 9, 2022, we had you on the Hunter and Warlock class adjustments and all the Mythic Plus changes prepared, which will be activated with today’s ID change on August 10, 2022 on the live servers of World of Warcraft. Blizzard also prepared a fresh batch of hotfixes for the shadow lands last night.

Particularly exciting: The yield of cosmic flux from the PvP, Mythic+ and Raids areas is increased by 100 percent. If you forget to pack the flux, it will be mailed to you. Also new: With the Scrapmaster’s Mantle you can no longer do the quest from the Mythic Plus area or the Great Treasury I’m the scrap master to lock.

These changes go active today

    • [Nach den Serverneustarts] 4-Piece Set Bonus: Mad Bombardier’s damage bonus has been reduced to 50% (was 70%).

      • Developer Comments: The 4-piece set bonus Crazed Bombardier still gives Survival Hunters an edge in multi-target situations. We’re reducing the effect of the 4-piece set bonus, but also increasing the damage of your single-target abilities to compensate for this drop in damage against single targets.
