WoW Forever hotfixes of November 13: dungeon XP, rings
WoW Forever's hotfixes of November 13: no dungeon experience when an enemy is trivial to one party member, Judgement of Command melee again, a ring swap.
Blizzard posted WoW Forever's hotfixes of November 13 on its forums at 01:54 UTC on November 14: in dungeons, an enemy trivial to one member of the party now gives no experience to anyone, Judgement of Command counts as a melee attack again, and Channeler's Ring trades Spirit for Spell Power, with a one-way exchange for Blessed Band of Light.
Dungeons: no experience when an enemy is trivial to one member
"Killing enemies in dungeons now awards zero experience to all party members if the level of the enemy is trivial to the level of one or more of the party members", Blizzard writes. A higher-level friend who runs a dungeon with you, and for whom its enemies are trivial, now means no experience from those kills for anyone in the group. Our article on the hotfix of November 8 covers how much experience dungeon kills give.
The Drowned City: non-boss enemies respawn 2 hours after being killed (was 1 hour).
Deadmines: Sneed now ejects properly if his Shredder is stunned when it reaches 0% health.
Paladin: Judgement of Command counts as a melee attack again and activates on-hit effects. Blizzard explains that Command was the only Judgement considered a melee attack, and that all the other Judgements stay ranged attacks, as its hotfix of November 11 made them. Our Paladin macros follow it.
Shaman: Windfury Totem is now activated by all melee abilities, even those that don't involve your main-hand weapon. Strikes with the off-hand weapon, like those of Whirlwind or Mutilate, cannot activate it; the main-hand strike of those abilities still can.
Druid: Wild Growth can no longer be cast while moving, and its spell healing coefficient rises to 6.6% (was 3.3%).
Mage: Frost Nova now breaks on damage from procs and from Blizzard.
Priest: The Quick and the Dead now reduces the mana cost of Divine Spirit.
Warlock: Siphon Life rank 1 can no longer be cast while silenced.
Warrior: Berserker Rage now removes Sap.
Every class: stuns between players and creatures have diminishing returns again, both ways.
"Players may exchange their Blessed Band of Light for a Channeler's Ring if they wish to", Blizzard adds: until raids open, the exchange is the first item on Pix Xizzix's vendor list for a player who has a Blessed Band of Light, and it cannot be reversed. Our best-in-slot lists take these numbers once the game's servers send them.
Also in these hotfixes
Deadwood Key, Drop of Stolen Life, Ring of the Fallen Soldier, Venom-dripping Heart and Blackthorne Intelligence now drop for every party member who has the quest. Skonk's List can be read by everyone, and Sootfur's Pelt is shared with the whole party.
In Zul'Farrak, a Rogue quest no longer sends rogues into the wrong version of the dungeon.
Pix Xizzix's weekly dungeon quests now leave the quest log at the weekly reset.
The librarians of Undercity and Stormwind accept books again: "our outstanding library fees have been paid", Blizzard jokes.
Rock elementals spawn more often in the Badlands, and tigers, panthers and raptors in Stranglethorn Vale; Mulgore's starting area has fewer enemies; the guards of Nethergarde Keep, in the Blasted Lands, no longer drop loot.
The weekly Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza now lets many more players per ruleset win.
Action bar settings no longer reset on logout for players with Secondary Talents.
Our patch notes carry Blizzard's posts as they come.
01What do WoW Forever’s hotfixes of November 13 change?
In dungeons, an enemy trivial to one member of the party now gives no experience to anyone; Judgement of Command counts as a melee attack again; Windfury Totem, Wild Growth, Frost Nova and Berserker Rage are fixed; and Channeler’s Ring now has Spell Power instead of Spirit. Blizzard posted them at 01:54 UTC on November 14.
02Do you still get experience in a WoW Forever dungeon with a higher-level friend?
Not from enemies that are trivial to that friend’s level: since the hotfixes of November 13, killing an enemy in a dungeon gives no experience to anyone in the party if its level is trivial to the level of one or more party members.
03Can I exchange Blessed Band of Light for Channeler’s Ring in WoW Forever?
Yes. Until raids open, the exchange is the first item on Pix Xizzix’s vendor list for a player who has a Blessed Band of Light, Blizzard says, and it cannot be reversed. Channeler’s Ring now has Spell Power instead of Spirit, and Blessed Band of Light loses its Hit.
Blizzard's WoW Forever hotfixes of November 11: Judgement becomes a ranged attack, five Tailoring bags grow, and the auction house changes are taken back.
Since Blizzard’s hotfix of November 8, every enemy killed in a WoW Forever dungeon gives 50% more experience: what it covers, and the Deviate Hides nod.
