Behind the scenes
Stat weights recalculated with the new gear Not in the patch notes
Better gear is now available at many levels, so some stat weights, rankings and the level where a spec's own loop starts moved. This is this site's model reacting, not a game change.
Unsealed Wrath now lists a weapon requirement Not in the patch notes
The Retribution talent's game data now asks for a weapon. Paladins fight with one anyway, so it may change nothing in play.

November 6, 2026
Classes
- Fixed an issue with the Quick and the Dead Legacy Talent where it sometimes did not work as intended.
Cooldown Manager
- The Cooldown Manager will now correctly display the duration of crowd control spells at all times, even when diminishing returns or mechanic reductions (like orc stun reduction) are factors.
Druid
- Bloom will now correctly heal the target.
- Fixed a bug where the tooltip of Bear Form claimed an incorrect health value increase. The functionality was correct, but the wrong value was reported.
- The tooltip for Ravage reported an incorrect value for its damage, and the tooltip has been corrected. There was no change made to damage done.
- Fixed the tooltip for Swiftmend to no longer incorrectly mention consuming the effect.
Mage
- Fixed an issue where Mages were still learning the Research spell and then losing it upon relogging. This spell should not exist, and you should only have the Study spell after completing the relevant quest.
- Fixed an issue with Arcane Blast where its duration was not properly 18 seconds.
Rogue
- Shank will now display Rank 1 and Rank 2 in the tooltips.
- While Boot Knife is talented, Shank will now correctly display the number of Combo Points it grants.
Warlock
- Voidwalker base health increased by about 40 at all levels.
- The Soul Siphon talent no longer incorrectly causes Wrack to increase its own damage.
Warrior
- Fixed the tooltip for Reckless Swings to mention that it activates Gore Drinker.
Dungeons
- Fixed an issue that would prevent Zaetar's Spirit from spawning after defeating Princess Theradras in Maraudon.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some creatures inside Blackmaw Hold and The Drowned City to erroneously disengage.

Enemies and NPCs

Items
- Searing Dagger is now only activated by spells that have a damaging component.
Professions
Leatherworking
- Tanning Rack skill requirement lowered to 125 (was 140). This prevents it from being an obstacle to crafting various Leatherworking patterns that require 125 skill. Tanning Rack skill-ups lowered by 15 skill points to account for this.
Quests
- Resolved an issue with the quest "Vorsha the Lasher" rudely lashing everyone in the zone.
- Brewed a fresh pot of Darnassus's finest coffee for Kerlonian Evershade so he falls asleep less often during "The Sleeper Has Awakened". Players now also start with the Horn of Awakening item to wake him up when needed.

- Resolved an issue with "Rediscovering the Light" where players were sometimes unable to heal NPCs.

- Resolved an issue where some quest item drops in Riverglades were not shared by players in a party.
- "Never Saddle on Quality" spawns and quest item drops should now be more plentiful.
- The Abomimable Head dropped from The Baron in the Ruins of Lordaeron dungeon will now properly offer the quest "Unending Torment" for Horde players at level 15 (was level 16).
- Damp Note drop rate increased. Eww.
Races
Night Elf
- Fixed a bug granting Shadowmelded Druids access to Ravage and Pounce.
Orc
- Fixes an issue where some Warlock pet abilities were benefitting too much from the Orc Command racial ability.
World
- Deployed some improvements to the visibility of other players and their targets across relatively large distances.
- Thunder Bluff - Fixed an issue where the Barbershop was darker than intended. We moooved the lights around.

Items

- Mild Spices now sell to vendors for 1 copper each (was 2 copper).
Player versus Player
