A lot of people are reading it incorrectly, probably because blizzard worded it very poorly.

The correct way the hotfix SHOULD read is:

When you use fire blast to detonate frost bomb, FIRE BLAST does 50% less damage.


Actually, that's incorrect. Apologies for the poorly worded patch note. I've since updated the note to read:

  • When Fire Blast modified by Glyph of Fire Blast is used to detonate a Frost Bomb, the resulting Frost Bomb now deals 50% less damage.

Some hotfixes weren't quite applied when the notes were published. That happens sometimes, but this change should be in soon.

Also, thanks Daxxarri for clarifying.


My pleasure. Thanks for making sure word got around to threads where there was still confusion.
