Patch 9.2

• Death Knight

  • Abomination Limb (Necrolord Ability) should now be more consistent when trying to pull valid enemies when they are nearby enemies immune to the grip.

  • Rygelon

    • Fixed an issue where certain mechanic’s visual effects would become hidden when Hunters Feign Death.
• Mythic+

  • Encrypted Affix

    • Fixed an issue where Wo's stealth effect would not apply to pets and guardians.
• De Other Side

  • Mueh’zala

    • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Mueh’zala to perform the wrong animation when hit by certain player abilities.
• Tazavesh: So'leah's Gambit

  • Hylbrande

    • Fixed an issue where if a player disconnected while carrying Bypass Codes, the code rune would disappear and be inaccessible for the Sanitizing Cycle phase.

• Players who tell Tal-Inara that they have been to Zereth Mortis before and have already met Pocopoc will now receive the Enlightened reputation they would miss out on by skipping those quests.

  • Developers’ note: Enlightened reputation is strongly tied to the Zereth Mortis campaign, and we felt it was unfair to have a high hidden cost associated with using the dialogue option that skips the Zereth Mortis introductory quests for players who've already completed the introduction on other characters. This change addresses that by making the choice net neutral with regard to Enlightened reputation.

Classes

• Priest

  • Shadow

    • (4) Set Bonus: Fixed an issue where Living Shadow would persist longer than its intended duration.
    • (4) Set Bonus: Fixed an issue where consuming Dark Thoughts during Living Shadow's summoning would not extend its duration.

  • The Jailer

    • Fixed issue that allowed Shaman’s Tremor Totem to remove Domination.
• Mythic+

  • Encrypted Affix

    • Fixed an issue where bosses that spawn in unattackable could fail to spawn Relics.

• Sandworn Relics have had their drop rates increased in the following areas in Zereth Mortis:

  • Endless Sands Rares – Increased average dropped relics to 8 (was 4).
  • Sandworn Chest – Increased average dropped relics to 25 (was 18).

  • World Boss – Increased the average dropped relics to 40 (was 13).

• Bastion Assault quest "Encouraging Words" should now function correctly.
