All hotfixes in WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.1

Patch 10.1 and season two are in full swing now, and the World of Warcraft devs have been hard at work dropping hotfixes to improve quality-of-life for players.

There’s been plenty for us WoW fans to sink our teeth into recently. Whether it’s grinding Renown, gearing up in Mythic+ dungeons, completing quests across the Dragon Isles, or simply enjoying Dragonriding, there’s no end of things to do in Dragonflight.

In Patch 10.1, especially at the beginning of Dragonflight season two, the devs are focusing on balancing the game. Later in the season, the balancing cadence will slow down, with hopes that classes should be in a state of perfect balance. This means you can expect to see both the PvE and PvP meta to be extremely volatile in the interim, before settling after a few weeks and adjustments. 

So, without any further ado, here are all the hotfixes in Dragonflight Patch 10.1, with the most relevant and recent hotfixes at the top.

•  Smite damage increased by 15 percent.
•  Holy Word: Chastise damage increased by 35 percent.

Classes

Balance

• Developers’ notes: The cast time on Cyclone is too fast for enemy players to deal with, so we’re reducing its cast speed from Owlkin Adept and also reducing Precognition’s haste in Fractures in Time. Solar Beam’s duration lasting 8 seconds was an oversight, as it should have been reduced in the crowd control reduction pass in Embers of Neltharion.
• Owlkin Adept reduces the cast time of Cylcone and Entangling Roots by 15 percent (was 20 percent).

• All damage is now increased by 10 percent in PvP Combat.
• Atonement healing is now increased by 70 percent in PvP Combat (was 50 percent).

Shadow

• Developers’ notes: Instant damage from Catharsis and Unfurling Darkness is accounting for more of Shadow’s burst damage than we were aiming for, so we’re bringing their power down. Shadow is also getting PvE damage buffs that affect PvP which puts some of this power loss back into rotational spells.
• Unfurling Darkness now deals 25 percent reduced damage in PvP Combat.

• Thief’s Bargain (PvP Talent) damage penalty increased to 10 percent (was six percent).

•  Water Shield now regenerates 75 percent more mana from its passive effect in PvP Combat.

Warlock

• Developers’ notes: We’re targeting the defensive power of Demonology with these changes as they are often a difficult target to take down relative to other DPS specs. We’re also lowering the healing from Mortal Coil to lower overall self-healing from Warlocks in PvP.
•  Mortal Coil healing is now 50 percent effective in PvP Combat.
•  Soul Link’s shared damage with the Warlock’s pet is now 50 percent effective in PvP Combat.
•  Profane Bargain’s increase to the effectiveness of Soul Link at low health is now 40 percent effective in PvP Combat.

Classes

  • [With weekly restarts] Aberrus (2) Set Bonus: Chance for Shadows of the Predator stacks to reset reduced by 15 percent.
  • Aberrus (4) Set Bonus: Now increases Agility by eight percent (up from five percent).

• Developers’ notes: We would like there to be more of a reward to using Disintegrate over Living Flame as a Preservation Evoker since it has a high Essence cost.
• Disintegrate damage has been increased by 15 percent for Preservation Evoker.

Hunter

Beast Mastery

• All damage dealt by you and your pet’s abilities increased by five percent.

Fire

Mistweaver

• All healing increased by three percent. This does not apply to PvP combat.

Rogue

Assassination

• [With weekly restarts] All ability damage increased by five percent.

Warlock

• Developers’ notes: The high frequency of Amplify Curse has been problematic in PvP combat, so its cooldown has been increased. These changes are also noted in the PvP section below.
• The cooldown of Amplify Curse is now 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).
• Teachings of the Satyr now reduces the cooldown of Amplify Curse by 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).

• All ability damage increased by four percent.
• Fatality Fatal Mark damage increased by 15 percent.

Dungeons and raids

Aberrus the Shadowed Crucible

• Developer’s notes: Feedback and data from the first few weeks of Season Two have indicated that smaller raids are having a relatively difficult time defeating certain encounters within Aberrus. Part of our commitment to flex-scaling as a feature is to work towards a similar difficulty for all group sizes on non-Mythic difficulties. The following changes are designed to bring difficulty for smaller groups in line with the experience of a larger raid.

Rashok

• Reduced the number of missiles from Doom Flames on non-Mythic difficulties.
• Scorching Heatwave’s damage now scales with group size for non-Mythic difficulties.

The Forgotten Experiments

Player vs. Player

Classes

Druid

Balance

• Developers’ notes: Balance Druids have been overperforming due to their ability to generate so much Astral Power and deal high damage by applying dots and casting Starfall repeatedly. We’d like to reduce the effectiveness of that playstyle since it’s difficult for opponents to stop. Goldrinn’s Fang also became much more effective in Embers of Neltharion, and includes some randomness and ability to score kills unexpectedly. Finally, Owlkin Adept has been a locked-in talent for a while now and has been propping up their control a bit more than we’re comfortable with. 
• Moonfire and Sunfire generate four Astral Power when cast in PvP combat (was six).
• Stellar Innervation increases Astral Power generation of Moonfire and Sunfire by 50 percent in PvP combat (was 100 percent).
• Star Burst now grants 8 Astral Power (was 15).
• Owlkin Adept reduces the cast time of Cyclone and Entanglng Roots by 20 percent (was 30 percent).
• Goldrinn’s Fang damage is reduced by 50 percent in PvP combat.
• Wrath and Starfire deal 60 percent increased damage in PvP combat (was 50 percent).

Hunter

Marksmanship

• Developers’ notes: Marksmanship Hunters have been underperforming in different forms of PvP content. 
• Aimed Shot damage increased by 25 percent in PvP combat (was 15 percent).
• Rapid Fire damage increased by 25 percent in PvP combat (was 15 percent).
• Arcane Shot damage increased by 25 percent in PvP combat (was 16 percent).

Mage

Fire

• Developers’ notes: Glass Cannon is intended to have high risk and high reward with its gameplay, and we feel the risk is too low for the benefit it provides, especially when paired with Flamecannon.
• Glass Cannon now decreases maximum health by 20 percent (was 15 percent)
• Flamecannon now increases maximum health by twp percent per stack (was three percent).

Monk

Mistweaver

• Developers’ notes: Mistweavers have been overperforming compared to other healers, especially due to their mana efficiency.
• Soulfang Infusion now regenerates 75 percent less Mana in PvP combat (was 50 percent).
• Zen Spheres now cost 0.5 percent base Mana.
• Enveloping Mist now heals for five percent more in PvP combat (was 20 percent).
• Mistweaver Monks now regenerate 15 percent less Mana in PvP combat (was 10 percent).

Windwalker

• Developers’ notes: Whirling Dragon Punch has felt underwhelming and we’d like it to feel impactful to use without being a major portion of a Windwalker’s damage profile.
• Whirling Dragon Punch damage increased by 80 percent in PvP Combat.

Priest

Discipline

• Developers’ notes: Discipline has been more reliant on shields this season than we’d like. We’re increasing Atonement healing while bringing down the power of shields, with the goal of the preferred playstyle being an offensive one. We’re also targeting the mana reduction from Inner Light, as Discipline has been more mana efficient than we’d like.
• Power Word: Shield now absorbs 15 percent less damage in PvP Combat.
• inner Light now reduces the mana cost of the affected spells by 10 percent (was 15 percent).
• Atonement healing is now 50 percent more effective in PvP Combat (was 40 percent).

Rogue

Subtlety

• Developers’ notes: Burst damage from Subtlety has been higher than we’d like this season. We’re looking to keep the spec in a strong position while toning down their burst potential in short windows.
• Secret Technique damage is now reduced by 33 percent in PvP Combat (was 25 percent).
• Shadowstrike and Backstab damage from Weaponmaster is now 50 percent effective in PvP combat.
• Flagellation’s Mastery bonus is now 80 percent effective in PvP combat.
• Dark Shadow is now 67 percent effective in PvP combat (was 80 percent).

Shaman

Enhancement

• Developers’ notes: There are a few talents that are leading to fast kills that can feel unfair when facing an Enhancement Shaman. We’re aiming to bring down the burst potential from cooldowns and increase sustained DPS.
• Forceful Winds is now 75 percent effective in PvP Combat.
• The damage increase to Lava Lash from Ashen Catalyst is now 33 percent effective in PvP Combat.
• Lava Lash now deals 35 percent increased damage in PvP Combat (was 15 percent).
• The Physical damage increase from Feral Spirit is now 33 percent effective in PvP Combat.
• The Fire, Frost, and Lightning damage increase from Elemental Spirits is now 50 percent effective in PvP Combat.
• Stormstrike now deals 75 percent increased damage in PvP Combat (was 50 percent).
• Windstrike now deals 75 percent increased damage in PvP Combat (was 50 percent).

Restoration

• Developers’ notes: We feel Restoration Shaman is in a good spot. Rain Dance wasn’t as valuable as we were anticipating, so we’re aiming to increase its viability.
• Rain Dance now increases the healing done by Healing Rain by 30 percent (was 20 percent).
• Rain Dance now reduces the mana cost of Healing Rain by 45 percent (was 30 percent).

Warlock

• Developers’ notes: Inquisitor’s Gaze has been dealing a sizeable portion of Warlock damage this season, and we’d like damage to come primarily from active spells.
• Fel Barrage from Inquisitor’s Gaze now deals 40 percent reduced damage in PvP Combat.
• Developers’ notes: The high frequency of Amplify Curse has been problematic in PvP combat.
• The cooldown of Amplify Curse is now 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).
• Teachings of the Satyr now reduces the cooldown of Amplify Curse by 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).

Affliction

• Developers’ notes: We are increasing the damage of Unstable Affliction’s backlash effect to lessen the value of dispelling Affliction’s damage over time effects. It’s been lower than we’d like, in addition to healers gaining extra health this season. Additionally, we’re increasing Shadow Bolt damage as the reward for casting it is lower than we’d like. 
• Unstable Affliction backlash damage increased by 50 percent.
• Shadow Bolt damage increased by 30 percent in PvP combat.

Demonology

• Developers’ notes: Demonology’s healing reduction effect from their Felguard was one of the best healing reductions in the game, which didn’t feel appropriate given the class identity, how easy it is to apply, and how it can be applied to multiple targets at a time. Along with Affliction, we’re also increasing the damage of Shadow Bolt in PvP, as the reward for casting it is low.
• Legion Strike reduces healing taken by 20 percent in PvP (was 25 percent).
• Shadow Bolt damage increased by 30 percent in PvP combat.

Destruction

• Developers’ notes: Destruction’s sustained DPS has been high and we feel this is mainly due to Shadowburn’s high multiplier. We would like for instant casts to be strong but not be the primary way to land kills.
• Conflagration damage is now reduced by 15 percent in PvP Combat (was nine percent).
• Shadowburn damage is now increased by 15 percent in PvP Combat (was 45 percent).

June 1, 2023

Items and rewards

• Prismatic Bauble’s cooldown has been reduced to 60 seconds (was 120 seconds) for one month.
• Developers’ notes: For one month, the Prismatic Bauble’s cooldown has been reduced and can be purchased from Jepetto Joybuzz and his Clockwork Assistant in The Wonderworks in Dalaran, floating above the Broken Isles. The Wonderworks can be found down the steps from the Violet Citadel and across the street from Simply Enchanting. Be warned! This very expensive cosmetic item will only have a reduced cooldown and be available from these sources for a month before returning to its original cooldown and being exclusively sold by Dalaran’s legendary and elusive Mad Merchant.

Quests

• Researchers Under Fire
• Developers’ notes: Players were being delayed by a lack of Altar Stones which we are addressing. Even with more Altar Stones the timer is still super tight. We think another 30 seconds will allow groups to perfect their runs and be more in line with the Titan version once players become more familiar.
• Added more spawns of Altar Stones as well as made them spawn quicker.
• The Sundered Flame Forces are being delayed giving players an extra 30 seconds to complete the Investigation of the Djaradin Ruins.

Also, players can trade a version of the leg they do not need to others that do.

Freehold

• Fixed an issue where multiple spells could target pets.

Harlan Sweete

• Fixed an issue that caused the bleed effect of Harlan Sweete’s Whirling Dagger to not properly bounce between targets while under the effects of Loaded Dice: All Hands!

Void-Touched Curios from Sarkareth are no longer unique.

Player vs. Player

WoW Classic Era

• The Defias Traitor is no longer killable by players of the opposite faction to prevent griefing.

May 9, 2023

Characters

• Dracthyr wearing the Scarlet Crusade tabard can now speak to the Scarlet Quartermaster in the Darkmoon Faire.

Shadow

• Resolved an issue causing Void Lashers spawned by Idol of C’Thun to stop attacking after their initial target dies.

• Fixed an issue that allowed players to reset The Forgotten Experiments encounter unintentionally.

Affixes

• Raging no longer applies to lieutenant-level creatures.

• Developer’s notes: Enemies that are plus one level above others are no longer affected by the Raging affix. Since they’re typically already immune to Crowd Control, the Raging effect would be redundant in these cases and reduce clarity of which enemy to dispel.

May 8, 2023

Classes

Demon Hunter

• Fixed an issue that caused targets with Misery in Defeat’s debuff to be treated as if they were crowd-controlled and thus avoided by some skills (i.e. Avenger’s Shield).

Havoc

• [With weekly restarts] Melee auto attack damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Demon’s Bite damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Demon Blades damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Felblade damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Isolated Prey now increases Eye Beam damage by 30 percent when striking one target (was 25 percent).

Vengeance

• Developer’s notes: The rules and behavior for how Fiery Brand refreshed and spread with the Burning Alive talent had some historic inconsistencies and minor bugs that became more egregious when the talented second charge and the 10.1 Set Bonus were introduced. Alongside the fix described above, we wanted to clarify the behavior players should expect moving forward:
• Applying Fiery Brand to a target already afflicted by your Fiery Brand will refresh its duration, to a maximum of 10 seconds.
• With the Burning Alive talent selected, only Fiery Brands applied directly (by casting the spell or from the Set bonus) are capable of spreading.
• Every two seconds while a spread-capable Fiery Brands persists, it will try to spread to a nearby target that does not already have a Fiery Brand applied. There is no longer a hidden rule preventing a target from being spread to multiple times in a short period.
• When a Fiery Brand successfully spreads to a new target, the duration of the spread will always be 10 seconds, regardless of the original or remaining duration of the source it spread from.
• Fixed an issue causing Fiery Brand to continue to spread after its expiration.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Immolation Aura from benefitting some bonuses, including (but not limited to) Fiery Demise.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Fiery Brand from benefitting from Holy Priest’s Symbol of Hope cooldown reduction.
• [With weekly restarts] Shear damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Fracture damage increased by 10 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Soul Carver damage increased by 20 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Focused Cleave now increases Soul Cleave’s damage to your primary target by 40 percent (was 30 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Soulcrush now applies Frailty to your primary target for eight seconds (was five seconds).

Druid

Balance

• Developers’ Note: In some single target scenarios it’s still looking optimal to cast Wrath in Lunar Eclipse. That doesn’t meet our goal for how Balance should play, so we’re reducing Wrath’s effectiveness outside Solar Eclipse and increasing its effectiveness inside Solar Eclipse to correct this. We’re also boosting Balance’s single target damage a small amount.
• [With weekly restarts] Wrath Astral Power generation reduced to eight (down from 10).
• [With weekly restarts] Wrath damage decreased by five percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Solar Eclipse now increases Wrath damage by 40 percent (up from 20 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Soul of the Forest now increases Wrath’s Astral Power generation while in Solar Eclipse by 60 percent (up from 30 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Damage dealt by Faerie Dragons summoned by Denizen of the Dream increased by 25 percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Friend of the Fae now increases your Arcane and Nature spell damage by 10 percent (up from eight percent).
• Primordial Arcanic Pulsar no longer triggers Nature’s Grace if the player does not have any Eclipse.

Feral

• [With weekly restarts] Rampant Ferocity now deals 30 percent of damage dealt by Ferocious Bite to nearby enemies (down from 35 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Tear Open Wounds now deals 50 percent of Rip damage it consumes (down from 60 percent).

Guardian

• Fixed an issue causing some Guardian talents and abilities to incorrectly buff non-class spells.

Restoration

• [With weekly restarts] All healing abilities increased by two percent.

Evoker

• Fire Breath will now correctly refund its mana cost if it is canceled while empowering.

Monk

Mistweaver

• [With weekly restarts] Essence Font healing increased by 15 percent.

Paladin

Holy

• [With weekly restarts] All healing abilities decreased by three percent. Does not apply to PvP Combat.
• [With weekly restarts] Avenging Crusader now transfers 500 percent of damage done into healing (was 575 percent).

Rogue

Assassination

• Fixed an issue that caused some skills to be unaffected by Assassination’s Mastery: Potent Assassin, including Kingsbane’s initial damage, Sepsis, and Mutilate’s damage from Vicious Venoms.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Subtlety’s Shadowstrike attacks.

Outlaw

• Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Outlaw’s Sinister Strike attacks.

Subtlety

• Developers’ notes: Class talents that previously modified all damage from spell schools are, in most cases, being updated and standardized with other similar effects to no longer affect external damage sources outside of those that belong to that class. The changes to the below talents impact Subtlety’s damage enough to warrant compensation, which is the reason for the buff to all ability damage.
• [With weekly restarts] All ability damage increased by four percent.
• [With weekly restarts] Veiltouched, Deeper Daggers, and Dark Brew no longer affect damage from sources outside of Class and Spec abilities available to Subtlety.

Warrior

Protection

[With weekly restarts] Fixed an issue where Battering Ram was providing a passive 20 percent critical strike damage bonus to all damage rather than to Shield Charge.

Items and Rrewards

• [With weekly restarts] Algeth’ar Puzzle Box shared cooldown increased to 30 seconds, effect decreased by 30 percent for Unholy specialization.
• Fixed an issue where World Boss items were previewing the incorrect item levels in the Dungeon Journal.
• Big Slick in the City’s Conch Whistle is no longer usable in combat, or inside instances and raids.
• In Zaralek Cavern, all players with at least one stack of Insidious Insight will now receive a message indicating when another player has claimed the Seething Cache.

Player vs. Player

Druid

Restoration

• Developers’ notes: Restoration Druid has fallen behind other healers in PvP since the release of 10.0.7. We’d like to ease some previous PvP adjustments that we no longer feel are necessary.
• [With weekly restarts] Budding Leaves’ effectiveness now reduced by 30 percent in PvP Combat (was 50 percent).

Monk

Mistweaver

• Developers’ notes: Mistweavers have received significant Quality of Life changes throughout the last few patches that have increased their effectiveness in PvP to a point where we see them as oppressive to the viability of other specializations. We’re reducing many of the PvP multipliers associated with Ancient Teachings and their damage throughput, and we’re increasing the effectiveness of Renewing Mist to encourage Healing over Time management and reducing Vivify’s healing to keep their casting throughput relatively similar.
• [With weekly restarts] Ancient Teachings’ effectiveness is now increased by 120 percent in PvP Combat (was 150 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Blackout Kick no longer deals 25 percent increased damage for Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat.
• [With weekly restarts] Blackout Kicks from Teachings of the Monastery now deal 15 percent reduced damage for Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat.
• [With weekly restarts] Tiger Palm now deals 15 percent increased damage for Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat (was 30 percent).
• [With weekly restarts] Rising Sun Kick’s damage reduced by 20 percent for Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat.
• [With weekly restarts] Vivify’s primary healing now reduced by 10 percent for Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat.
• [With weekly restarts] Renewing Mist’s healing increased by 40 percent in PvP Combat (was 25 percent).

• Fixed a bug that caused the Zaralek Glowbur aura to frequently break stealth and engage enemies.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the themed aura extension effect from applying when gathering basic, non-themed gathering nodes.

Zaralek Cavern

• “Aiding the Accord: Sniffenseeking” will now auto-complete the dig objective if you’ve already done a dig with Myrrit this week. Players currently affected will need to abandon and re-accept the quest in Valdrakken.

Trading Post

• Fixed a bug where the purchase button could become available for frozen items after the monthly rollover.

May 5, 2023

Achievements

• The achievement Proof of Myrrit no longer requires the quest Brand New Digs.

Classes

Developers’ notes: Earlier this week, we changed Embellishments so that they did not scale with class talents, abilities, and set bonuses. We’ve decided to revert that change, and we’re now making updates to class abilities that unintentionally boosted the damage of non-class effects such as Embellishments and trinkets.

• Fiery Demise now affects only Demon Hunter class damage, and does not affect trinket or item damage, or Fire damage dealt by other casters.
