WoW Forever November 11 hotfixes: Judgement turns ranged and tailoring bags grow

Blizzard posted the November 11 hotfix list early on November 12 UTC. It is a smaller list than the November 10 tuning, but two parts of it change how we play: Paladin Judgement and the tailored bags. Blizzard also gave two dates that correct our November 10 hotfix article.

Two dates moved

• Enhancement Shaman went live on November 12, not November 10. Blizzard says a deployment delay held the changes back until 10:45 a.m. PST on November 12 in every region. Those changes are Stormstrike at 100% weapon damage on an 8 second cooldown, Mental Dexterity at 33/66/100%, the new Maelstrom Weapon proc rate, and weapon imbues stacking with weapon totems. If your Stormstrike still felt strong on November 11, that is why. Our Shaman talents and Enhancement gear picks already use the new values.
• The Auction House change is postponed to November 17. That is the 1 copper minimum deposit and Auction House mail arriving after 60 minutes again. Blizzard took it out of the live update and will ship it with the weekly maintenance on November 17. Until then the old deposit still applies.

Classes

• Paladin: Judgement now counts as a ranged attack. It rolls against your ranged hit chance and no longer triggers melee item procs or melee effects. If you stacked melee hit partly for Judgement, that hit no longer helps it.
• Retribution: Windfury Totem can now activate from Holy Strike, so Blizzard stopped Unsealed Fury from creating echoes off Windfury Totem attacks. Windfury Totem is still a big gain for a Retribution Paladin, just no longer a double one.
• Feral Druid: Rend and Tear now also works on the Pounce bleed, which makes an opener from stealth a bit stronger.
• Hunter: Volley no longer activates procs, and it now stops channelling as soon as you move.
• Priest: the Gnome racial Confounding Flash works in Shadowform, and so does the Holy talent Twilight Focus.
• Shaman: Flametongue Totem Rank 2 works again.

Blizzard also fixed the Shaman totems that disappeared during the November 9 server crash. A lost totem comes back to your bags. If you were online when the fix went in, make room in your bags, then log out and back in to get it.

Riverglades is less punishing

Three Riverglades enemies hit much less hard now. The Twilight Enforcer’s Smash deals a lot less damage, Executioner Morg hits softer, and the Twilight Forgemaster’s Mark of Flames adds 50 damage instead of 1000. If one of these pulls wiped your group before, try it again.

Items and the tailored bags

• Bloody Claws of Attack now really give +1 Fist and Unarmed Weapon skill.
• Earthen Silk Slippers had more spell damage than intended, and Blizzard brought it down.
• Five tailored bags were smaller than intended. Each one now needs one more bolt of cloth and holds more:

Bag	Cloth now	Slots now
Green Woolen Bag	5 Bolts of Woolen Cloth	10
Red Woolen Bag	5 Bolts of Woolen Cloth	10
Green Silk Pack	5 Bolts of Silk Cloth	12
Black Silk Pack	6 Bolts of Silk Cloth	12
Red Mageweave Bag	5 Bolts of Mageweave	14

If you are a tailor, these are now worth crafting for alts and for the Auction House. Our Tailoring recipes list every pattern and where it comes from.

Quests, world and support

• “Scarlet Diversions” in Western Plaguelands: you can use the Command Tent again.
• “The Giant in the Den” in Arathi Highlands: the Witherbark Mallet works again, so the chain can continue.
• “Freedom for All Creatures” in Feralas: the cage door now resets.
• You can mount up again in the named areas of Shen’dralas.
• Blizzard turned off the in-game Item Restoration service while it fixes a critical bug. If you deleted or sold something by mistake, wait for Blizzard to bring the service back before you ask support.

Open issues and the current state of the realms are on our launch status page.
