UPDATE: Blizzard posted the following update on Feb. 19: "The changes to Aimed Shot and Aspect of the Hawk announced yesterday have not yet been applied to live realms and should not go into effect until after the holiday weekend."
Blizzard has posted its latest round of World of Warcraft hotfixes, and this batch includes some noteworthy changes for the Dungeon Finder and hunters. Here are the highlights:
- Blizzard already discussed the Dungeon Finder/Vote Kick changes, which are an attempt to "reduce some undesirable behavior and annoyances" when using the feature. These changes will require realm restarts to take effect.
- Hunter Aimed Shot damage has been decreased to approximately 160% weapon damage (at level 80+), down from 200%. Also, Aspect of the Hawk now provides around an additional 2000 attack power at level 85.
- For priests, Body and Soul no longer reduces the mana cost of Power Word: Shield (the hotfix made on February 16 to provide this additional benefit has been reverted).
- For warriors, Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Arms passive) now gives 20% bonus damage with two-handed weapons, up from 10%.
Check out all the hotfixes after the jump and discuss them in this thread in our WoW general forum.
