Judgement now counts as a ranged attack

Paladins feel the biggest change in the hotfixes of 11 November. Judgement is now a ranged attack and no longer triggers melee procs. Blizzard also fixed Volley, Pounce and Twilight Focus, softened The Riverglades and switched off Item Restoration.

Classes

• Paladin: Judgement counts as a ranged attack. It no longer triggers procs of items and effects that work on melee hits, and it uses your ranged hit chance.
• Retribution: Windfury Totem now procs from Holy Strike, as intended. To balance that, Unsealed Fury no longer makes echoes from Windfury Totem attacks.
• Feral Druid: Rend and Tear now also works on the bleed of Pounce.
• Hunter: Volley no longer triggers procs, and the channel stops as soon as you move.
• Priest: the Gnome racial Confounding Flash now works in Shadowform. So does Twilight Focus, which Shadow Priests take for 3 points.
• Shaman: Flametongue Totem rank 2 works again.

Restoration Druids got their own change, Wild Growth no longer works on the move. Five Tailoring bags got bigger and more expensive.

The Riverglades

Three enemies in The Riverglades hit less hard. The Smash of the Twilight Enforcer deals much less damage, and Executioner Morg also hits softer. The Mark of Flames of the Twilight Forgemaster now adds 50 damage instead of 1,000.

Items, quests and support

• Bloody Claws of Attack now give +1 Fist Weapon skill, as the tooltip says.
• Earthen Silk Slippers no longer give more spell damage than intended.
• Item Restoration: Blizzard has switched off the service while it fixes a critical bug. For now, support cannot bring back deleted items.
• Quests: the Command Tent works again for Scarlet Diversions in the Western Plaguelands, the Witherbark Mallet lets you continue to The Giant in the Den in the Arathi Highlands, and the cage door of Freedom for All Creatures in Feralas resets again.
• Shen’dralas: you can mount again in its named areas.
