[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where some spells (like thunder clap, whirlwind, etc) would have their damage split amongst all targets hit

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Fixed an issue where some spells were incorrectly scaling from spell damage or attack power. (Not blizzlike scaling). Examples here are: Shattering Throw scaling from Spell Power, Shadowflame Scaling from Attack Power, Lightning Shield scaling from AP.

[Pending Restart] - Homogenized PvP Power and Resillience between the Prestigious and Soulbound gear. This experimental change of boosting the resillience and PvP Power had created asymmetries in power between releases making it worth to wear only prestigious gear, ignoring new releases.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Fixed an issue where Sweeping Strikes was not chaining from any attack except Auto Attacks.

[Pending Restart] - [Pending Patch Update] - Fixed the tooltip of Atonement to indicate it is not subject to healing % increases and heals for 15% of the damage dealt.

[Area52][Grull's Lair] Fixed an issue where on Mythic difficulty killing boss for the first time on new lockout didn't drop Mythic Raid Cache.

[Pending Restart] [A52] - Fixed an issue causing the Savage Blade ability from the Deadly Bite Legendary Mystic Enchantment to be unuseable.

[Pending Restart] [Original 9 Classes] - Fixed an issue where the Hasty Black Arrow Mystic Enchantment was not affecting the Black Arrow spell.

[Mana Fiend] Clarified the wording on the tooltip of Mana Fiend to state how much mana is returned upon leaving Delirium.

[Whispers of the Old Gods] Removed the sound effect that occurs when spawning a Tentacle of the Old God. This should help alleviate the sound clutter that occurs when users of this Mystic Enchantment are doing their normal rotations.

[Elemental Weapons] Clarified the tooltip description to specify an increase in Healing Power or Spell damage based on your weapon enhancement.

[Area-52] - Non Healer Legendary REs are now updated to Area-52! This should mean no more behavioral/tootltip differences in how they function!

[Area52] Sinister Strike (Double Down) Damage reduced by 15% in pvp combat.

[Pending restart][Arcane Thuder Seer]Lowered the cast time reduction on Arcane Missiles to 0.25 seconds per stack.

[Pending Restart] - If you had progressed higher than the keystone gear cap, then after this update goes live, you will be considered to be at the current keystone cap in relation to the Mythic Coin bonus rewards.

[Pending Restart] - Examples of how the change above works: "3 chesting" a mythic level 10 when the keystone holder has never completed this key level before rewards you with an additional 450 coins and "3 chesting" a mythic 40 when the keystone holder has never completed this key level before rewards you with an additional 900 coins

[Pending Restart] - In addition to the 100 Bonus Mythic Coins rewarded for advancing past the Keystone to the highest mythic level the keyholder has done, you will now receive an additional 5 * Mythic Level of coins (Both coin values are multiplied by the number of chests you time, so if you get a "3 chest", you get 300 bonus coins and 15 * Mythic Level if its the highest keystone level the key holder has done before).

[Pending Restart] - Mythic+ Loot caches category selection has been reworked and more congruent with the stat types that the items fit into. This means for items like Cannonball Runner, Mindtap Talisman, Mark of the Dragon Lord, etc. You no longer have to guess which stat type to pick from. Moving forward, it is planned to update the database with the items you can get from the Mythic+ Caches.

[Pending Restart] - Recycling Mythic+ items now grant one additional coin based on the Mythic Level of the item recycled. Mythic level 5 grants 30 coins per recycle, Mythic level 10 grants 35 coins per recycle, Mythic level 20 grants 45 coins per recycle, etc.

[Pending Restart] [Steel Wind] Changed the tooltip of Steel Wind to properly indicate that you can only gain 1 stack of Winds of Steel per ability cast.

[Pending Restart] [Steel Wind} Fixed an issue where the proc rate of Winds of Steel was set higher then intended, it is now properly 30% when using an ability.

[Pending Restart] [Steel Wind} Winds of Steel now increases the damage of your next Steel Wind by 12% against monsters while Titan's Grip is learnt, and 15% when Titan's Grip is not learnt.

Trinkets like Black Book, Mind Quickening Gem, Scrolls of Blinding Light, etc with BWL release had their class restrictions removed (because they are heavily reworked from the original classes)

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9] - Fixed an issue where Black Arrow (Hunter) after the fixes above had a much higher RAP coefficient than intended.

[Pending restart][Area 52]Improved Water Shield now has a slightly lower proc chance on critical heals but can also proc off non-critical heals, evening out its power and making it less dependant on stacking high crit. The new tooltip reads as follows: Your Nature critical heals have a 10/20/30% and normal heals a 5/10/15% chance to restore mana as if you consumed a Water Shield Orb. This chance is doubled with Healing Wave.

[Pending restart][Area 52]Divine Intellect now increases your healing power by 3/6/9% of your Intellect instead of increasing your total Intellect.

[Pending restart][Area 52]Nature’s Majesty now gives 3% critical chance per point, up from 2%.

[Pending restart][Area 52]The Wrath of Cenarius capstone effect now also increases the duration of your active Nature’s Grace by 1 second.

[Pending restart][Area 52]Illumination now restores 50% of the base mana of the spell, down from 60%.

[Ascension DB] Resolved an issue with the search functionality not returning any results. (this was caused by an earlier update related to Build Draft builds being added to the search results).

[Demonic Rage] Shadow Cleave (Demonic Rage) Now deals 30% less damage to targets beyond the first. (This means you now deal 50%/85%/110% versus 1/2/3 targets Previously this wouldve been 50%/100%/150% respectively)

[Demonic Rage] Shadow Cleave (Demonic Rage) now deals 50% weapon damage down from 100%.

[Demonic Rage] Shadow Cleave (Demonic Rage) Has had its scaling reduced by 20%.

[Demonic Rage] Shadow Cleave (Demonic Rage) Now automatically triggers itself while Demonic Rage is active. (This means you no longer need a 3rd party program to click/use your Shadow Cleave ability in order to optimise DPS)

[Pending restart][Festering Wound] Reduced the maximal amount of stacks to 6. Down from 10.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Fixed an issue where were not inheriting class based auras from the Hunter class, causing its damage to be much lower than intended.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Druids can now wear Bloodfang, Shamans now have access to Netherwind, Paladins now have access to the Ten Storms (restoration set).

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Not every specialization for the original 9 classes has a specific tier set just yet. The Long term solution is to make individual tier sets for these sets and specializations missing them but out of scope for the league. It is known that the bonuses do not make the most sense for the specialization and this will be our concession for the league.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - The following epic REs are now obtainable and usable by the Original 9 Classes - Crackling Thunder, Pious Strikes, Envenomed, Everliving, Thundering Blow, Demonic Synergy, Thermal Shock, Repartee, Energizing Prayer, Providing for Nature, Blood Drinker, Earth's Blessing, Blood Will Out, Zephyr

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Glyph of Arcane Barrage has a slight rework in attempt to improve the viability of Arcane Barrage against monsters, it now reads: When used against monsters, Arcane Barrage no longer has a reduced chance to trigger Missile Barrage and has 5% increased chance to critically strike per stack of Arcane Blast.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Glyph of Arcane Missiles (similarly to Glyph of Lightning Bolt) now also increases the critical strike damage of Arcane Barrage.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Rogue Classes now deal 20% less damage with Ambush when Rush of Blood is equipped. (This specialization has been overperforming recently and will receive a substantial buff from the fixes above).

[Pending Restart] - [Everyone] - Fixed an issue where some spells that dealt AoE damage could sometimes split the damage between all targets hit when it was not meant to.

[Pending Restart] - [Original 9 Classes] - Fixed an issue where spells that had AP & RAP coefficients were not being applied to their damage. This list includes but is (VERY MUCH) not limited to: Judgement of Righteousness, Faerie Fire, All Rogue Poisons, Explosive Shot, Explosive Trap, Garrote, Rupture, Rip, Rake, Ferocious Bite, etc.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where Shadowfiend were not inheriting class based auras from priests, causing its damage to be much lower than intended.
