Welcome to another insightful post brought to you by WowCarry, where we dive into the latest game updates and their profound effects on gameplay. Today, we're exploring the intricate changes and continuing issues introduced in Patch 11.0.5. This update has brought to light several high-impact bugs and adjustments in various classes and in the Nerub-ar Palace raid, which are critical for players engaged in end-game PvE activities. Let’s get into the details.
In the current patch, only one Death Knight can apply the "Wave of Souls" spell to a target at a time. Given the popularity of Blood Death Knights (BDK) in raids and the timing when they use their openers, Frost Death Knights are experiencing a decrease in output, roughly 4-5% less damage than expected. A temporary workaround would be to carefully assign who casts "Reaper's Mark" first, with a preference for Frost DKs.
An inconsistent but advantageous bug affects Beast Mastery Hunters. The "Kill Cleave" ability remains active even after "Beast Cleave" has expired, also impacting the primary target. This bug provides notable boosts in both single-target and AoE damage when it occurs.
For Mistweavers who have chosen the "Rushing Wind Kick" and "Tea of Plenty" talents, there exists an error in spell replacement. The "Rushing Wind Kick" does not consume the buff from "Tea of Plenty" after being enhanced by "Rising Sun Kick," erroneously allowing it to be cast multiple times with an extremely short cooldown. This significantly enhances one of their key abilities.
Paladins utilizing "Worthy Sacrifice" can trigger multiple sacrifices without placing "Blessing of Sacrifice" on cooldown. Protection Paladins are also facing a bug where "Sentinel" continues to provide a 40% damage increase, and the targeting for "Sacred Weapon" is flawed, often prioritizing healers over DPS characters.
An exploitation in Outlaw Rogues' talent path involving "Trickster," "Coup De Grace," and "Fatebound" allows for repeated high damage outputs. Additionally, "Underhanded Upper Hand" sometimes causes "Blade Flurry" to lose duration during "Adrenaline Rush," reducing its effectiveness.
Both Elemental and Enhancement Shamans are dealing with major discrepancies in their abilities. Elemental Shamans, for instance, have been producing unusually high AoE damage numbers in Mythic Ulgrax, while Enhancement Shamans have seen a negative modification in their spec aura. Several of their spells are either malfunctioning or being intermittently blocked. Similarly, Fury Warriors are finding that "Unhinged" no longer triggers "Reap the Storm/Thunder Blast," leading to a substantial loss in multi-target damage.
The latest patch has introduced several new and recurring issues within the Nerub-ar Palace raid scenarios, particularly affecting the Silken Court and fights against Queen Ansurek.
| Bug | Impact | Area Affected |
| Desync and invisibility of spike circles during Spike Storm | High risk of random player deaths | Mythic Silken Court |
| Reappearance of "no burrow bug" | Unexpected gameplay mechanics | Mythic Silken Court |
| Desync issues with "Web Blades" | Inconsistent combat sequences | Queen Ansurek fight |
The release of Patch 11.0.5 has certainly stirred the pot in end-game PvE environments with both welcome and unwelcome changes. As players and developers work through these kinks, staying informed and adaptable will be key.
