[Pending Restart] - Threat to Azeroth quests now provide 2,500 Marks of Ascension from 1,500 Marks of Ascension.

[Pending Restart] - Since World Bosses now give loot to everyone involved, they will no longer remove PvE mode since this resulted in most cases unintentional friendly fire. High-Risk world bosses will still have PvP enabled (if toggled on) and some will spawn in tier-1 zones allowing for large scale wars if desired!

[Pending Restart] - Eye of Immol'thar no longer slows movement speed but deals periodic shadow damage every 0.5 seconds.

[Pending Restart] - Eye of Immol'thar now has 50% increased health but takes 50% increased damage and when killed deals damage to Immol'thar equal to the amount of maximum HP the Eye of Immol'thar has.

Extremely elusive items that are received only from summoned bosses from an extensively long quest chain (Theldren, Jarien, Sothos, Kormok, Mor Greyhoof, Isalien) now are merged into a singular "drop pool". This "drop pool" has a 20% chance of being added onto the last boss of every 50+ dungeon as an additional loot template.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed an issue where Rampant Tornado from Wind Rager did not have a visual.

[Pending Patch Update] - Updated the tooltip of Fire Walk with Me to state that it does not work with Flameburst.

[Pending Patch Update] - Updated the tooltip of Hot Hands that it lowers the Hot Streak damage bonus against monsters to 30%.

(In a previous patch, the damage of Elemental Immolation was increased to make up for this interaction being removed).

[Pending Restart] - Halved the respawn timer of all creatures required for Stegodon! Stegodon't! They previously had between 6 and 12 minute respawn timers. They now have between 3 and 6 minute respawn timers (and should still be affected by dynamic respawn timers).

[Pending Restart] - [Scholomance] - The wandering plague debuff (the one you receive after wandering plague is spread to you) is no longer dispellable. However, the wandering plague debuff (that spreads wandering plague to allies) is now dispellable. This removes an intense and punishing layer of RNG where if both are dispellable it was insanely hard to dispel it at all because of how fast the debuff could ramp up when pulling multiple mobs or having multiple allies affected at once. Now you can remove the cause effect and no longer gain additional stacks of the wandering plague without having to spam dispels on players.

The "Fair Trade" and "Arrows are for sissies" quests. Which are used to exchange Thorium Arrows for Thorium Bullets is now exchanged in quantities of 500.

[Pending Restart] - Greatly increased the chance for Pagle's Lucky Loop from Bloated Flat fish.

[Pending Restart] - Scryer and Aldor Shoulder enchants are now bound to requiring either faction. This means the Scryer and Aldor Shoulder Enchantments are now purchasable regardless of which faction you have become exalted with.

[Pending Restart] - Touched by the light can be triggered from heals that are capable of triggering procs. Previously effects like Penance (outside of the first hit) could not trigger the effect.

[Area52 High-Risk] Significantly increased the drop rates of High-Risk Materials in event areas and outside of event areas. This increase is further increased for Meat and Herbs. Shared Party loot was dropping much lower than intended and has been massively boosted. This will result in substantially more rewards for your farming efforts and better match the risk incurred.

Curse of the Baroness deals periodic damage and triggering a debuff that increases the damage taken by the curse, further increased by stack. You can remove these stacks with dispel curse and all stacks are dispelled at once.

[Pending Restart] - Baroness Anastari no longer attempts to mind control an ally every 10 to 15 seconds. Instead, this timer has been quadrupled to every 40 to 90 seconds.

[Pending Restart] [Zul'Aman] [Zul'jin] Hakkar now follows normal threat rules.

[Pending Restart] [Zul'Aman] [Zul'jin] Hakkars Massive Blood Scythe is now a time based event. Hakkar will still use Massive Blood Scythe instead of melee attacks if there is no target for him to attack in melee range.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue with the Razorlash Worldforged Mystic Enchantment where it was not properly benefitting from Spell Power or Attack Power and it was gaining far too much base damage.
