How to read these reports and planned fixes

This is a dated source timeline, not a complete patch history. The September 22 client update identifies build 69977. The older September 18 issue report remains separately dated. A report added that day does not prove the bug began that day.

Read a record’s build details before using it to compare performance. A fix promised for the next build stays pending until evidence identifies a build where it is available.

  2. Official reportOpen issue

    Bear Form armor needs a controlled comparison

    Blizzard lists armor from buffs and consumables being multiplied by Bear Form’s armor bonus as a known issue.

    Keep buffed and unbuffed measurements separate when comparing tank gear. A large armor total alone cannot establish the intended result.

    Known combat issues affect class comparisons

    Blizzard reports full-damage Arcane Missiles bolts when taking damage during the channel, and a disabled spell queue window while Heroic Strike, Cleave or Raptor Strike is queued.
