WoW: Hotfixes for The War Within as of September 5, 2024 – Paladin Nerf

With the new hotfixes from September 5, 2024 the Blizzard have addressed several issues with the Paladin’s skills, as well as fixing bugs affecting other classes. Additionally, Brann is now much more helpful!

WoW: The War Within, all the hotfixes from September 5, 2024 are now known and active in the game. Among these changes, Paladins have received various adjustments, and rightly so, as some of their spells were functioning too well, often due to faulty mechanics.

In particular, Dawnlight has been affected: The spell now scales correctly with Retribution Mastery and can critically hit as intended, but it also loses its “double dip” with Versatility when healing. The Sun’s Avatar also scales correctly with Retribution Mastery but no longer hits targets outside of your Paladin’s line of sight.
