Dual Spec no longer wipes your action bars

Good news for everyone with Dual Spec in World of Warcraft: Forever: your action bars no longer reset when you log out. The hotfixes of 13 November also bring back diminishing returns on stuns and fix the fishing tournament, items and dozens of quests.

Dual Spec and the fishing tournament

• Dual Spec: players with secondary talents no longer lose their action bar settings at every logout. That was the bug from our post of 13 November.
• Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza: many more players per ruleset can now win the weekly tournament, after the first one stopped after a single winner. Blizzard is still working on its performance.

Classes

• Stuns: diminishing returns work again, both for creature stuns on players and for player stuns on creatures.
• Restoration Druid: Wild Growth can no longer be cast while moving, and its spell power coefficient goes from 3.3% to 6.6%. Blizzard lists the change of 11 November once more, more in our post.
• Mage: Frost Nova now breaks on damage from procs and from Blizzard.
• Paladin: Judgement of Command triggers on-hit effects and counts as a melee attack. The other Judgements stay ranged attacks.
• Priest: the Legacy perk The Quick and the Dead now lowers the mana cost of Divine Spirit.
• Shaman: Windfury Totem procs from every melee ability, also from abilities that do not use your main hand. Only off-hand strikes, such as those of Whirlwind or Mutilate, cannot proc it.
• Warlock: Siphon Life rank 1 can no longer be cast while silenced.
• Warrior: Berserker Rage removes Sap again.

Dungeons

• Experience: when a monster is trivial for even one member of the group, nobody gets experience for it. A much higher helper now costs the whole group its kill experience, see our experience guide.
• The Deadmines: Sneed ejects properly when his Shredder is stunned at 0% health.
• The Drowned City: trash respawns after 2 hours instead of 1.
• Stratholme: Balnazzar counts for the Legacy challenge Master Spelunker.

Enemies

• Gnomeregan: Techbot respawns faster for Save Techbot’s Brain!
• Badlands and Stranglethorn Vale: more Lesser Rock Elementals, and more tigers, panthers and raptors.
• Mulgore: fewer and less aggressive Quillboar and Venture Co. in the starting area.
• Eastern Plaguelands and Stratholme: no more unexpected aggro, especially after resurrecting.
• Blasted Lands: the guards of Nethergarde Keep no longer drop loot.
• Zephras Isle: Nyalah Brightfire in Valanaar sells more cooking supplies.

Items

Blessed Band of Light loses its hit, and Channeler’s Ring gets spell power instead of Spirit. Blizzard lets you swap one for the other:

Players may exchange their Blessed Band of Light for a Channeler’s Ring if they wish to. Until raids open, this exchange will be the first item on Pix Xizzix’s vendor list if you have a Blessed Band of Light. This exchange cannot be reversed.

• Gloves of Holy Might now only proc from harmful spells and abilities that deal damage, and the tooltip says so.
• Glimmering Mithril Insignia no longer requires Mail.
• Taran Icebreaker is a two-hand mace, as intended.
• Darkspear signet rings get the same Mp5 as the Alliance rings.
• Stats fixed on Everstaring Abomination Eye, The Bad Hat and Souvenir Sea Shell. Cloak of the Fleshborer has its texture back.

Quests

• Group drops: Deadwood Key, Drop of Stolen Life, Ring of the Fallen Soldier, Venom-dripping Heart, Blackthorne Intelligence and the pelt of Sootfur drop for everyone in the group on the quest.
• Weekly quests: the dungeon quests of Pix Xizzix leave your log at the weekly reset.
• The Riverglades: Jezap Jinglesprocket offers his quests for the Bloodmaster’s Ring again, Gaseous Gold shows the right amount, and woodpiles can only be looted on their quest. More in our Riverglades guide.
• Libraries: Owen Thadd in Undercity and Garion Wendell in Stormwind accept books again, see the library guide.
• Also fixed: The Talisman of Kazdor sends Rogues to the right Zul’Farrak, everyone can read Skonk’s list in A Quick Grocery Run, the Crow Effigy on Mount Hyjal shows up, Crate Expectations no longer procs on a taxi, Return to the Port no longer deletes items for The Cook in the Cage, healers get credit in Yashiro’s Windwalk, and Gordunni Cobalt in Feralas works again.
