WoW Midnight: Wildfire Bomb damage up 20% in hotfix

Survival hunters get back damage a tuning pass missed 10 days ago, and Ula'tek's Venomous Heart stops hitting players in melee.

Blizzard applied a short round of hotfixes to Midnight overnight on 1 October. The largest change is for Survival hunters: the periodic damage of Wildfire Bomb goes up by 20%. Blizzard explains why in a developers' note — the tuning hotfix from the week of 22 September "did not properly increase the periodic damage of an untalented variant of Wildfire Bomb", so part of the buff hunters were told they had got never reached them. This hotfix corrects that.

Druids get a bug fix rather than a tuning change. Blizzard has fixed an issue that could cause Rampant Ferocity to trigger incorrectly against a single target, which affected feral druids playing a build around it.

The third fix is in The Venomous Abyss. On the Ula'tek encounter, the Venomous Heart would sometimes melee a player, which is not meant to happen; Blizzard says that has been fixed. It is the second change to that fight in 2 weeks, after the one that went in with the stone venom tuning.

Hotfixes go live without a client patch and without downtime, so all 3 changes are already in the game. They sit on top of the full 12.1.5 notes Blizzard published the same week.
