Items and Rewards

The Stamina from Tempered Armor Patch has been reduced to 24 (was 50) and can only be applied to items worn on the chest to match the Heavy Desolate Armor Kit.

Developers’ note: This item was always meant to be a lesser version of Heavy Desolate Armor Kit that you can earn as a rare drop or rare find on a vendor, but this item was accidentally missed when the Heavy Desolate Armor Kit was changed in Beta. The tooltip will be updated to reflect the change in a future hotfix or patch.

Resolved an issue that caused the interaction of a Paladin's Eye for an Eye (Talent) and Riposte (Rank 2) to deal more damage than intended.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

The door to the next floor is once again locked until the Empowered enemy guarding it is defeated.
Anima Powers

Comment by Frostyworgzwell thats an utter let down.... what is this?Comment by pabasaI read the achievement wrong (parasoiling) and I thought I missed another poop quest in the game.

Speaking of, is there a poop quest on Shadowlands, or do residents of the Shadowlands no longer poop?Comment by dingledotsRemovedComment by brye3Will the convoke change mess things up for the shades on the hound master boss in castle nathria? Most cc does break on damage. Or does it just effect spells that break after 'x' amount of damage?Comment by ElondreOnly 2% for 2h frost ? They are more than 5% behind DW and which is more than 10% behind UH lmfaoComment by fiercebluThe door to the next floor is once again locked until the Empowered enemy guarding it is defeated.Comment by isthisguyseriRemovedComment by snackiesmoresSo they didnt fix the race day in the ramparts achieve which is clearly broken, but they did fix parasoling (which for me, at least, seemed to be counting fine). SighhhhhComment by Kandall0516Will the convoke change mess things up for the shades on the hound master boss in castle nathria? Most cc does break on damage.

Thanks for keeping up with the changes wowhead! xDComment by DoodledabbleDruid's convoke have ignored hard cc's for awhile now. In the cases of houndmaster convoke will hit the target before it's cc'd but once it is, it'll be ignored and a druid is free to convoke.Comment by dingledots Still hoping for more balance changes after they finish this AWC Cup though.Comment by GrimmshadoThe door to the next floor is once again locked until the Empowered enemy guarding it is defeated.Comment by DonhornThe Houndmaster room is pretty big. As long as the shade isn't being kept CC'd right next to Barghast I think it shouldn't be much of a problem to just stand a little farther from it if you want to convoke.Comment by dokeefe1986So they didnt fix the race day in the ramparts achieve which is clearly broken, but they did fix parasoling (which for me, at least, seemed to be counting fine). SighhhhhComment by Lucetia2896Uh... Maybe fix the evade bugged Empowered enemies first. Literally, the only ways around a permanently evade bugged Empowered enemy is to relog & skip to next floor or just trash the entire run and restart. But now I guess we're just totally screwed if the Empowered guy evade bugs out on us.Comment by IronymanNerf Boomkins already! It's not ok to be oneshot by anything, especially a single 30k button press by a *swearword* boomie!Comment by TomaotabcUh... Maybe fix the evade bugged Empowered enemies first.
