WoW The War Within 11.1 Hotfixes - March 26, 2025

With the dust now settled after the Race to World First, players are now easing into the patch, grinding away Mythic+ and slowly progressing with their guilds through the new raid. Not only did the devs implement a lot of changes to the classes, but also revamped and improved other major gameplay aspects. 

With that being said, let's take a look at the most recent hotfixes for The War Within 11.1.

The MOTHERLODE!! 

• Addressed an issue where Crawler Mines did not reacquire their target after they exit and re-enter combat.
• Addressed an issue where the Alliance entrance for the dungeon could be invisible for some players.

Operation: Floodgate

• Swampface’s Razorchoke Vines can now be anticipated.

Priory of the Sacred Flame

Liberation of Undermine 

Adjusted the scaling difficulty of the Rik Reverb, Stix Bunkjunker, Sprocketmonger Lockenstock, Mug’Zee, One-Armed Bandit, and Gallywix encounters so that damage is lowered for smaller raid group sizes, with the greatest reduction applying to 10-player groups, in Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties. 

Developers’ notes: We’ve seen data and feedback that smaller group sizes were having a particularly tough time in much of the raid. There is no change for 30-player groups.

Mug’Zee, Heads of Security 

• On Mythic difficulty, Gallagio Goons’ Gaol Break now functions the same as on other difficulties.

Rik Reverb 

• The Lingering Voltage debuff duration in Heroic now scales with group size.
