WoW SoD Phase 8 Hotfixes - April 11, 2025

With the launch of what seems to be the final phase of Season of Discovery, many players provided feedback regarding the difficulty of the brand new Scarlet Enclave raid, as many guilds were struggling to clear the instance, most possibly due to the lack of PTR testing. 

Having said that, let's go over the most recent adjustments for SoD Phase 8.

Season of Discovery Hotfixes

Season of Discovery

• Fizzlefuse will now sell ammunition to players right away.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the quest "Loss" in Eastern Plaguelands to stall.
• World Buff consumables now cost 5 Commendations each (was 25).
• Fixed an issue causing the locked doors in New Avalon to not be able to be opened when players are wearing the Scarlet Disguise and have The Scarlet Key in their inventory.
• Consumable Tinkerboxes can now be activated while Shapeshifted.

Classes

Priest

• Vampiric Embrace will now heal the priest for twice as much as they heal others.
• Vampiric Embrace in Season of Discovery can no longer roll a critical result.

Rogue

• The Tank Rogue Tier-2.5 2-piece bonus will no longer sometimes prevent Blade Flurry from activating. Strikes of the Sinister now has a lower priority than Blade Flurry.

Karazhan Crypts

• The Burning Webs from the Creeping Malison encounter in Karazhan Crypts will no longer hit players in Kharon's room after the encounter is completed.

Naxxramas

• The Unholy Weapon enemies in Naxxramas will no longer gain twice the % damage increase from Authority of the Frozen Wastes.

Scarlet Enclave

• Health values for non-boss enemies have been significantly reduced across the entire raid.
• The locations of the Mage Tower and Guard Tower lieutenants before the Beatrix encounter now spawn at the base of their towers.
• Removed some of the Artillery enemies around the Blacksmith.

Beatrix

• The utility, healing, and disruption spells used by Beatrix's troops have either been cut or reduced in effectiveness. Affected spells include Concussion Shot, Disarm, Shield Slam stun, and Polymorph.
• Beatrix's health reduced by 5%.
• Adjusted the timing and overlap of her Class Call spells. For example, there are now 4 waves of Scarlet Infantry during Scarlet Phalanx (was 6), 4 waves of Scarlet Cavalry during Thundering Hooves (was 5), and slightly less overlap between Mortar Combat from the Artillery into the Meteor from Scarlet Mages.
• Adjusted the Out of Bounds triggers that could result in a Scarlet Phalanx (Infantry Class Call) gap forcing players to walk out of bounds and take unnecessary damage.

Caldoran

• Fixed an issue that could result in Caldoran becoming stuck if players entered the Radiant Portal after resurrecting.

Solistrasza

• Fixed an issue that caused "Aberrant Bloat" to have no spell icon.
• Fixed an issue that caused Solistrasza's "Radiant Light" to erroneously display.

And that covers all of the hotfixes that were added to the most recent installment of Season of Discovery. You can check out the official notes, here.
