Patch 8.1 Hotfixes 11. Januar: Inselexpeditionen einfacher und PvP Anpassungen

Island Expeditions

• Developers’ notes: Following up on recent community feedback that we requested, a number of quality-of-life concerns led us to changes that we intend to address many frustrating combat experiences with certain Island ecologies.
• Azerite-themed enemies
  • Enemies now prefer not to use Resonant Burst, Resonant Shield, and Volatile Geyser when a nearby enemy has recently used the ability.
  • Reduced the number of Resonant Focus orbs created per cast of Resonant Burst to 2 orbs (was 4).
  • Removed the Knockback component of Resonant Backlash (triggered from Resonant Shield) on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
  • Reduced the Knockback magnitude of Resonant Focus orbs on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
  • Volatile Eruption’s disorient effect (triggered from Volatile Geyser) has been reduced to 1 second on Normal and Heroic difficulties, and reduced to 2 seconds on Mythic difficulty (was 3 seconds).
• Kvaldir enemies
  • Greatly reduced the magnitude of the two visibility-impacting effects (Fetid Mist, Eerie Fog) triggered from the Kvaldir invasion.
• Musken and Yak enemies
  • Removed the knockback effect from Ram.
  • Trample damage reduced by about 50% and is now melee defense.
