6.1.2 Hotfixes: April 10

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.2. Hotfixes are updates made on our end without requiring a new client-side patch. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require the realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

The latest batch of hotfixes are listed below. Previous hotfixes have been compiled by category to provide a quick summary of all hotfixes that have been applied since the start of World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.2.

Tags may be added to some hotfixes to denote a special condition.

• [Requires a realm restart] means the hotfix will not take effect until after a scheduled rolling restart or maintenance.
• [Hotfix in testing] means the hotfix is in early stages of testing and may not be implemented just yet. However, the change is important and is posted to provide as much advanced notice as possible.

World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.2, Consolidated Hotfixes

Table of Contents

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

• Summoned Bosses

Raids and Dungeons

• Blackrock Foundry

  • The Blast Furnace
    • Phase 1
      • Furnace Engineers should now throw a bomb at players roughly every 6 seconds. Throw Bomb is now instant-cast, but the range is now 40 yards (down from 50 yards). These changes are intended to diminish the relative benefit of having two or more priests, compared to one or none: Mind Control allows for more controlled targeting of the Bombs, but does not speed up the phase as a whole.
      • Reduced the health of Heat Regulators.
  • The Iron Maidens
    • The Iron Maidens should no longer incorrectly trigger a Dreadnaught phase if they reach 100 Energy and 20% health at around the same time.
  • Blackhand
    • Blackhand's Marked for Death ability should no longer target players that just got knocked away with Shattering Smash if there are other available targets.
    • Fixed an issue that was causing Blackhand's Slag Bombs to incorrectly explode instantly and the Slagged debuff to incorrectly persist on a character.
    • Blackhand's health has been reduced by 5% on Mythic difficulty.
    • Blackhand's Massive Shattering Smash ability now deals 25% less damage on Mythic difficulty.
    • Iron Soldiers' health has been reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty.

• Legacy

  • Throne of Thunder
    • Durumu the Forgotten: Fixed an issue where the cones of light may incorrectly spawn high above ground during the Light Spectrum phase.
  • Dragon Soul
