All hotfixes in WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5

World of Warcraft Dragonflight received its latest patch, Patch 10.1.5, on July 11. And from now until the end of its lifespan (which will be later this year), Blizzard will be applying hotfixes to the game. These hotfixes can come in the form of balance changes, bug fixes, and quality-of-life updates and are usually applied to the game on an as-needed basis. 

Typically, Blizzard updates WoW several times per week, with hotfixes sometimes coming once per day during certain points of a season. After new patches drop, hotfixes should be expected to come in flurries as players tend to discover bugs and other things that need quick fixes relatively often. 

Patch 10.1.5 is expected to be live throughout the rest of the summer, since Patch 10.1.7 is currently slated for a fall release, according to the WoW Dragonflight content roadmap. 

Each time new hotfixes are applied to WoW, this article will be updated, with the most recent hotfixes near the top of the piece. Here are all of the hotfixes that have come to WoW Dragonflight during Patch 10.1.5.

• Echoing Tyrstone no longer targets pets.
  • Developers’ notes: “We’ve made this change as we’ve seen this trinket performing strongly in raids to the point of competing with major class cooldowns, but its performance overall is varied based largely on how many people are with the healer.
