Hotfix Roundup - January 24 - 30

Achievements

• "Pillars of Creation" now properly requires the completion of the quest "The Eye of Aman'thul" to satisfy the appropriate criteria.

Classes

• Paladin
  • The healing bonus Tyr's Deliverance now shows up on the caster's raid frames.
• Warlock
  • Fel Imp's Felbolt now correctly does the same damage as Imp's Firebolt.
• Druid
  • Fixed a bug that caused Ironfur’s duration to be inaccurate when modified by time effects.
  • Soul of the Forest will maintain its damage increase at 1, 2, and 3 stacks of Lunar and Solar Empowerments.
• Monk
  • Dampen Harm will now calculate its damage reduction % based on the size of the hit before Stagger (was after).
  • Fixed a bug where Storm, Earth, and Fire clones would stop using abilities after their target died.
  • Essence Font's periodic effect can now correctly critical heal.

Items

• Artifact Power items now have a sell price.
• Might of Krosus: Fixed a bug that caused Might of Krosus to deal less damage to its targets than intended
• Might of Krosus: Fixed an issue where Might of Krosus would not split its damage among affected targets.
• Aluriel's Mirror: Healing-over-time effectiveness increased by 140%. Area of effect healing detonation effectiveness reduced by 35%.
  • Developers’ Notes: Aluriel’s Mirror’s detonation effect is strong when it activates, but hard to rely on. We’re increasing the heal-over-time effect significantly to improve the up-front value of this trinket, and reducing the detonation effect slightly to compensate.
• Animated Exoskeleton: Absorb amount increased by 33%.
• Arcanogolem Digit: Damage increased by 30%.
• Claw of the Crystalline Scorpid: Damage increased by 30%.
• Convergence of Fates:
  • (Frost Death Knight) Proc rate increased by 10% with Empower Rune Weapon, decreased by 23% with Hungering Rune Weapon.
  • (Unholy Death Knight) Proc rate increased by 68% with Summon Gargoyle, and no change with Dark Arbiter.
  • (Feral Druid) Fixed a bug that prevented Incarnation from working properly with Convergence, and no change with Berserk.
  • (Windwalker Monk) Proc rate decreased by 62% with Storm, Earth, and Fire, and decreased by 75% with Serenity.
  • (Retribution Paladin) Proc rate increased by 250% with Avenging Wrath, and increased by 25% with Crusade.
• Draught of Souls: The Use effect of this trinket now respects the global cooldown. The damage of this trinket is now reduced by 30% for Unholy Death Knights (was reduced by 40%).
  • Developers’ Notes: Since Draught of Souls deals Shadow Damage, it’s increased by Unholy’s Mastery, which means we needed to reduce its base damage to keep its overall value similar to other classes. It’s currently a little too low, however, so we’re increasing the damage it deals for Unholy.
• Entwined Elemental Foci: The amount of Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste granted by this item has been increased by 5%.
• Etraeus' Celestial Map: The amount of Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste granted by this item has been increased by 5%.
• Fury of the Burning Sky: Damage increased by 40%.
• Icon of Rot: Damage increased by 40%.
• Might of Krosus: Damage reduced by 25%, but is now always a critical strike. Also, fixed a bug where the cooldown was incorrectly being reduced if Might of Krosus damaged at least 3 targets. The tooltip for Might of Krosus will display the amount of damage that will result from the critical hit, not the base damage.
• Perfectly Preserved Cake: Absorb amount increased by 140%.
• Pharamere's Forbidden Grimoire: Damage increased by 85%.
• Star Gate: Damage increased by 30%.

Companions
