[Prayer of Preservation] Preservation can now only heal 3 targets down from 5. (This is intended to bring down the power this LRE brings to the table in Mythic + environments and the safety this heal provides.)

Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker proc effect has now 100ms internal cooldown to prevent unintended proc behaviour with AoE abilities.

[Soul of the Warden] Fixed an issue where off hand attacks from Fan of Knives could not trigger weapon effects like poisons.

[Blade Vortex] Blade Vortex now reduces the attack speed granted by Blade Flurry by 50%, however the base damage of Blade Vortex has been increased by 200%.(This is intended to reduce the passive attack speed power this Mystic Enchantment provides and give it more AoE power in physical builds that choose to use this.)

[Snowblind] Updated tooltip to new paradigm.

[Wind Rager] Rampant Tornado now deals 15% more damage and has 15% increased scaling to its AP coefficient.

[Snowblind] Ice Prism now has uncapped damage from 5 target max. This damage now shares damage on all targets hit, dealing full damage to up to 5 targets, and additionally reduced damage per extra target up to 10. Dealing damage to more than 10 targets will share damage to all targets hit, but not dealing more damage than if you were to hit 10 targets. This was previously target capped at 5 targets, with no damage shared. (This change is intended to increase the build’s AOE damage, while making it deal its damage more evenly)

[Soul Harvest] Clarified the tooltip to state that it is usable while shapeshifted.

[Blood and Guts] Updated tooltip to new paradigm.

[Blood and Guts] Execute (Disembowel) can now hit up to 5 targets up from 3 targets previously. (This is intended to increase its AoE power in Raids and Dungeons, and give more AoE power to melee builds in general.)

[Pending Restart] - Corrected the tooltip of Dark Hunting (rank 2), to correctly state (as rank 1 does) that it increases the damage of your Hunter Shots and Abilities on targets affected by your Black arrow by 8%.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where when learning the Mental Quickness talent your spellpower value would not update until you changed primary stat allocation. It will now update your spellpower correctly when learning the talent.

The Ability 'Tendon Rip' used by tamed beast 'Hyena' from the Ferocity tree, will now do damage if the target is immune too slows.

[Pending Restart] [Worldforged Scroll: Lunar Aspiration] acquisition creature has changed (due to issues with previous one in certain cases). New Hint will be as follows "Great Moonstalker Spirit slumbers in a land veiled in darkness.".

These items where in the trash mob loot pool but were not available on the vendor.

[Time Bomb] had an incorrect PvP mod on Area 52, causing it to deal 10% damage to players instead of the intended 30%. We will continue to evaluate and adjust this spell’s PvP performance.

[Eldritch Weapon] Fixed an incorrect tooltip that stated weapon attacks instead of melee abilities. No mechanics were changed.

[Pending Restart] [Dark Ranger] Shadow Artillery is now affected by Molten Core. This means it can now consume stacks on cast for the benefit of % damage and % critical strike chance.

[Elemental Assasin] Fixed an issue that cause your Ice Shock to not apply its damage over time effect while the Northern Winds epic random enchant was equipt.

[Steward of Eternity] Fixed an issue that would prevent you from casting the spells transformed by this random enchant while in a shapeshift form. These spells now correctly take you out of form when you begin casting.

[Pending Restart] Increased the healing amplification provided by Ebbing Tides to 10% per stack from 8%.

These changes aim to help mold and shape the identity of Black Arrow. Currently, Black Arrow was only used as a filler ability to empower other Hunter Shots and had rarely contributed any meaningful damage to your breakdown. With these changes and the changes that hit live yesterday in mind, Black Arrow should take a slot amongst strong rotational spells while still being able to invest into empowering your other Hunter Shots and Abilities on targets affected by Black Arrow.

Black Arrow's DoT effect can now critically strike and will benefit from your ranged critical strike chance.

[Pending Restart] - Dark Hunting now increases the damage of Black Arrow by 10/20% (up from 5/10%)

[Focused Serpent Sting] will now effect Medicinal Sting.

[Pending Patch Update] - Clarified the tooltip of Black Widow Strike that it increases the damage dealt by your Hunter Stings, Shots and Abilities by an additional 4%. No behavior was changed here.

Fixed an issue where Synchronize wouldn't heal even when Align was active.

[Pending Restart] - Mana costs of ALL spells has been reduced by 20%. This change comes to help remedy mana regeneration issues and increase the effect that intellect has on how long you can sustain your mana. This change will also increase the effectiveness of which hybrids can operate w/o suffering a detrimental amount of mana issues and will also improve effects that restore total and or missing mana (because they will now have a greater effect in terms of your SPM (spells per mana)).

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the effectiveness of Mp5 gained from Spirit by 10%. This change is to slightly reign in the passive power granted by spirit and to make all forms of mana regeneration more powerful with the above change.

[Pending Restart] [Steward of Eternity] Synchronize has had its base healing and coefficient reduced by 15%, most of the healing done by a fully stacked synchronize was overhealing and increasing align duration means you can cover more of a raid with align’s before casting Synchronize.

[Pending Restart] [Steward of Eternity] Synchronize now stalls time and freezes the duration of active align’s during its channel time. This means if a player has 6 seconds left on Align and you cast Synchronize, while the channel occurs the Align duration will not go down until you have finished channelling.

[Pending restart] Increased the weapon damage of Steady Shot from 125% to 150%. Its damage vs players has been reduced to offset this, so damage will only be increased against monsters.

[Pending restart] Effects that reduce attack power (such as Demoralizing Shout or Vindication) now affect both melee and ranged attack power.

[Pending restart] Immolation Aura now reduces the attack power of enemies hit for 30 seconds. This is intended to make attack power reduction more easily available for Metamorphosis tanks.

[Pending restart] Improved Earth Shield is now a 3-point talent, with a Capstone effect making Earth Shield heals grant a stack of Tidal Waves (if known). This effect can occur every 5 seconds.

[Pending restart] Adorned from Champion of Justice now inherits some healing from the spell that triggered it, but its baseline healing has been reduced. This is intended to make Adorned healing less dependent on using many fast (even if weak) heals and more powerful when triggered by a big heal like Holy Light.

[Pending restart] Earth's Blessing can now trigger from Healing Touch in addition to Healing Wave. Rather than increasing Earth Shield healing (which has been increased baseline this update), it now grants 3% increased critical effect chance all heals per stack.
