Here you’ll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Midnight, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Season of Discovery, Burning Crusade Classic, WoW Classic Era, and Hardcore. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
Hotfixes
May 12, 2026
Achievements
Abyss Anglers: Depth Grease no longer requires the Reinforced Joints upgrade.
Classes
Death Knight
Blood
Developers’ notes: We are looking at smoothing out the damage intake of Blood outside of their cooldown window by increasing the consistency and uptime of their Apex Talent. To further help these windows of high damage intake we are also increasing their Health and Death Strike healing.
Dancing Rune Weapon grants 25% Parry (was 20%).
Blood Fortification grants 40% Stamina (was 35%).
Improved Death Strike healing increased to 15% (was 5%).
Dance of Midnight grants Dancing Rune Weapon for 8 seconds (was 6 seconds).
Dance of Midnight chance to proc increased to 12.5% (was 10%).
Unholy
Death and Decay can now be tracked in the cooldown manager.
Demon Hunter
Vengeance
Developers’ notes: Vengeance Demon Hunter’s baseline defenses are its most lacking, while cooldown availability and values are currently serving the spec well. As a result, we will be primarily targeting core values for Health and damage reduction, with an additional smaller increase specifically to Armor.
Demonic Wards now reduces all damage taken by 12% (was 8%).
Thick Skin now grants 55% increased Stamina (was 50%).
Effectiveness of Mastery: Fel Blood increased by 20%.
Void Reaver now causes Frailty to reduce damage taken by 5% (was 4%).
Druid
Guardian
Thrash direct damage reduced by 25%.
Elune’s Favored now heals for 15% of Arcane damage dealt (was 25%).
Developers’ notes: These changes aim to bring this build closer to its expected output: high-damage relative to other tanks, but not abnormally so. Recent previous adjustments to Guardian have made the Elune’s Chosen build stronger than intended. With this tuning, we’re choosing to not break the Elune’s Chosen build or require the Apex talent. We have further plans to update the Guardian Apex Talent in a future patch to give us more flexibility with it and alleviate some of the current pain points for Druids.
Hunter
Marksmanship
Corrected an issue where Explosive Shot applied from the Salvo talent did not properly grant Lock and Load from the Shrapnel Shot talent when applied.
Paladin
Protection
Developers’ notes: With these changes, we’re aiming to improve baseline durability for Protection Paladins by increasing passive effects which contribute to effective health. We’re also addressing on-demand survivability with adjustments to defensive cooldown coverage and strength.
Blessing of Dusk reduces damage taken by up to 20%, increasing as your health decreases (was 10%).
Sanctified Plates increases stamina by 7/15% (was 5/10%).
Ardent Defender duration increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds).
Ardent Defender now reduces damage taken by 30% (was 20%).

Warlock
Diabolist: Fixed an issue where Diabolic Oculi would target creatures that are not in combat with their summoner.
Warrior
Protection
Developers’ notes: Protection melee damage mitigation is quite strong, but is a bit behind for magical attacks and damage-over-time effects. These changes are aimed at strengthening those areas as well as making it easier to maintain healthy Ignore Pain values.
Fight Through Flames reduces magic damage taken by 6% (was 4%).
Phalanx reduces damage enemies deal to you by 8% (was 5%).
Ignore Pain effectiveness increased by 8%.
Delves
Light spores in Sunkiller Sanctum should no longer interrupt channeled spells.

Fixed an issue preventing weapons and trinkets crafted before 12.0.5 from being eligible for Ascendant Voidcore upgrades.
Prey
Removed the once per week restriction on Preferential Killing which generates a hunt with custom parameters. Players may complete Custom Hunts as often as desired after reaching rank 10 in the Season 1 Prey Journey, but subsequent Custom Hunts in a week give reduced rewards.
Increased Prey hunt progress gained from completing World Quests, defeating Ambushes, delivering Ripostes, and interacting with Remnants of Anguish.
Removed Hunter’s Momentum from Hard and Nightmare mode Prey hunts.
Significantly increased the number of the Coalescing Anguish spawns in the outdoor world.
Player versus Player
Significantly increased rating gains from completing 2v2, 3v3, and Solo Shuffle matches.
Developers’ notes: This adjustment is intended to meaningfully improve progression as the season continues to support healthier ladder movement. We’ll continue to monitor rating distribution and make further adjustments if needed.

Druid
Guardian
Wild Guardian now clears when entering Arena and Battlegrounds, and when starting a Mythic+ dungeon or a raid encounter.
Developers’ notes: Guardian Druids have continued to overperform in single target contexts, while experiencing difficulties with threat and sustained damage outside of cooldowns. With these changes, we’re aiming to reduce burst potential and transfer some of that power into more reliable and consistent abilities to aid in generating and maintaining threat.

Evoker
Augmentation
All ability damage and pet damage reduced by 5%.
Fixed an issue where Inferno’s Blessing damage was not properly modified by the specialization baseline passive. Inferno’s Blessing’s spell damage coefficient has been adjusted to compensate, so its effective damage will only be changed per the above adjustment.
Scalecommander: Fixed an issue where Bombardment damage was not properly modified by the specialization’s baseline passives. Bombardment’s damage calculations have been adjusted to compensate.
Developers’ notes: Effective damage will be unchanged for Devastation and only reduced by 5% for Augmentation with the above adjustment.
Hunter

Atonement healing now decays more rapidly beyond 5 targets.
Developers’ notes: For example, when healing 20 injured allies with Atonement, it would previously be reduced by 50%. With the new scaling, it will be reduced by 60%.

We’re also resolving a bug, which would have a negative impact on performance, so we’re watching the results carefully.

Auto attack damage increased by 10%.

Starsurge damage increased by 18% in PvP combat.
Hunter
Beast Mastery
All damage dealt by you and your pets reduced by 3% in PvP combat.
Marksmanship
Developers’ notes: We reduced Marksmanship damage in a recent hotfix, but those changes were too aggressive. We’re pulling back on some of the reductions to Black Arrow and overall damage to bring Marksmanship back up to a reasonable spot.
Black Arrow damage increased by 11% in PvP combat.
All damage increased by 5% in PvP combat.
Mage
Arcane
Developers’ notes: Arcane is behind the other Mage specializations, so we’re increasing the damage of some of their core spells. These are the more difficult spells to fully channel, so we’d like them to feel more rewarding when you do cast them.
Arcane Blast damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
Arcane Missile damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
Fire
Developers’ notes: Fire, particularly Sunfury, is able to deal significant burst during their Combustion windows. We’d like to reduce that with that caveat that casting Fireball should still feel rewarding.
Pyroblast damage reduced by 6% in PvP combat.
Fireball damage increased by 80% in PvP combat.
Sunfury: Codex of the Sunstriders now increases spell damage during Combustion by 1% for each Spellfire Sphere consumed in PvP combat (was 2%).

Templar: Divine Exaction now causes Divine Toll to cast 2 additional times at 75% effectiveness in PvP combat (was 150%).

Shadow Word: Madness damage increased by 25% in PvP combat.
Mind Blast and Void Blast damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.

Fixed an issue where Titan’s Gift and Titanic Wrath were not increasing the damage of the final few ticks of Disintegrate for Preservation and Devastation Evokers.
Shaman
Restoration
All damage dealt increased by approximately 12%.
Developers’ notes: Restoration shamans were intended to gain a 30% damage increase with the release of patch 12.0.5, but an error resulted in them gaining about half of that amount. This 12% increase brings them up to a total of +30% damage when compared to before patch 12.0.5.

Black Arrow damage reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
All damage reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
Developers’ notes: Several talent changes in 12.0.5 led to Marksmanship overperforming in PvP. These updates target changes to Black Arrow and their overall damage to account for the new interactions and reduce their effectiveness at both burst damage and overall pressure.
Mage

Characters
Fixed a bug that could cause some Night Elf characters to be missing the intended Linen Blindfold option they previously chose.
Classes
Death Knight
Resolved an issue causing the Commander of the Dead damage increase aura to be applied to Death Knights.
Evoker
Preservation
Fixed an issue where Dream Breath was not being stored in Stasis.
Paladin
Holy
Fixed a bug that could cause Holy Paladins to do less damage than intended.
Rogue
Fixed a bug that prevented the expected audio from playing when a Rogue enters stealth.
Decor Duel
Fixed a bug that could prevent Decor Duel participants from receiving base Illusionary Coin rewards by incorrectly evaluating them to be AFK.
Humanoid tracking abilities no longer reveal players in Decor Duel.
Achievements earned in Decor Duel are now account-wide, as intended.
Dungeons and Raids
Addressed an issue where Lindormi’s Guidance could be applied to players outside of Mythic+ dungeons.
March on Quel’Danas
Midnight Falls
Resolved issues with Torchbearer failing to prevent players from receiving applications of Midnight or failing to remove applications of Midnight.
Items
Addressed an issue preventing sockets from being added to Champion items obtained from Midnight Renown vendors.
Fixed an issue where acquiring a Nebulous Voidcore with Thalassian Tokens of Merit would cause Decimus to only grant one of his two weekly Nebulous Voidcores upon quest turn-in.
Developers’ notes: Players who have two Nebulous Voidcores in their currency window while showing “Season Maximum: 1/2” can now safely complete any of Decimus’s quests again to receive their missing Nebulous Voidcore.
Professions
Adjusted the cost of Thalassian Competitor’s Chain Tunic to 5 Heraldry (was 4) to be in line with other crafted PvP chestpieces.
Quests
The Ancient Visionstone can once again be interacted with for the Harandar repeatable legends quests “The Story of the Echoless Flame” and “The Story of Russula’s Outreach”.
Fixed a bug where the daily quest “Ephemeral Masquerade” appeared to be a low-level quest, rather than the intended blue exclamation point.
