Righteous Fury has a massively reduced chance to show up to be unlearned during Card Swaps if you have any other possible swaps to pick from. This change will increase the chance you are upgrading Uncommon spells as a Tank, especially while leveling.

Defensive Stance has a massively reduced chance to show up to be unlearned during Card Swaps if you have any other possible swaps to pick from. This change will increase the chance you are upgrading Rare spells as a Tank, especially while leveling.

Bear Form and Cat Form will no longer show up to be unlearned during Card Swaps if you have any other possible swaps to pick from. This change will increase the chance you are upgrading Epic spells as a Feral, especially while leveling.

Mana-Forged Barrier will no longer show up to be unlearned during Card Swaps if you have any other possible swaps to pick from. This change will increase the chance you are upgrading Epic spells as a Mana-Forged Tank, especially while leveling.

Fixed an issue where the aoe portion of Warden of Demonreach would sometimes not correctly proc. (Pending Restart)

Dark Iron Landmine now has a 10 sec cooldown and 30 sec duration, changed from 60 sec.

[Pending Restarat] - [Thrall] - Fixed an isssue where Mind Blast and Incinerate would not explode the Wild Imps.

[Pending Restart] - Mana Burns cast in LBRS and Scholomance will no longer drain 1,000 mana. They will now drain up to 500 mana with it being capped on a % of the mana that it drains. (higher difficulties have higher percentages, the percentage will never exceed 8%).

You can now switch between stormwind and orgrimmar instance IDs on the Callboard

[Pending Restart] - [Dragon Warrior] - Dragon Roar now reduces the damage when hitting 5 or more targets. It now functions similarly to Stormborn and Pure Shadow, hitting 5 targets will result in 5 hits, each hit being equal to the damage it would deal to a single target. The total damage past 5 targets will be increased by half a target for every target added. This means that when hitting 10 targets, your Dragon Roar will deal 7.5 targets worth of damage, each hit of the 10 targets being hit equal to 75% of what it would have done to a singular target. Hitting more than 10 targets does not increase the overall damage done from Dragon Roar, this is unchanged.

Fixed a tooltip issue on Serpent Form where an incorrect tooltip from an earlier iteration was pushed. This fix is purely visual and clarifies how the mechanics are currently working right now and will not affect your Serpent form gameplay. Clarified that Serpent Form causes your auto attacks to deal bonus nature damage and removed incorrect information about Serpent Form granting stat conversions. Clarified that Venomous Fury also deals damage in a cone in front of you. (Pending Spell Patch Update)

Charge and Stealth, both level 1 epics, will now be less likely to appear as your unlearn ability in Card Swaps. They will still appear at the same rate in Hand of Fate unlearns. This change will increase the chance you are upgrading Epic spells during Card Swaps as melee or a stealth build, especially while leveling.

[Pending Restart] [Serpentshrine Cavern] [Hydross the Unstable] Reduced the % damage taken increase of Mark of Hydross and Mark of Corruption to 5% down from 10% on all difficulties.
