Blizzard has introduced some minor hotfixes to the game as players have complained about the Molten Core raid difficulty. It seems the devs also focused on some quality-of-life changes as well as some adjustments to the different class tier sets.
With that in mind, we will go over all of the updates that were added to World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 4 on July 29, 2024.

WoW SoD Phase 4 General Changes
- Players who have the 18-slot version of the Bottomless Bag may now exchange the bag or the Pattern for the 20-slot version at Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay.
- Players who have killed Magmadar but are unable to douse the Rune of Kress can now swap the Heat difficulty back and forth and should find you can now douse the Rune.
- Lava Surgers in Molten Core will no longer spawn once Ragnaros has been defeated.
- Fixed an issue with many of the class dungeon set bonuses. They can now only be triggered by abilities, and not by item use.
- Ragnaros is no longer immune to Paladins’ Hand of Reckoning.
- Fixed a bug interrupting eating or drinking when near a graveyard.
- Fixed a bug where the incorrect version of Quel’Serrar could appear in this version of the game.
- [With weekly restarts] The increased damage taken for low Fire Resistance in Molten Core on Heat 2 and Heat 3 has been reduced but is still extremely dangerous. Characters who are at 30 resistance lower than intended should now expect to take about 3 times normal damage (was guaranteed fatal).
Developers’ notes: This is intended to allow players who are dependent on Resistance Totems or Paladin Auras to have a chance to survive if briefly not within the range of those effects.

Hunter
- [With weekly restarts] Entrapment now triggers a diminishing return as a Root effect on players each time it is applied. Subsequent durations will be halved and then quartered in duration, and then the target will become immune for 30 seconds.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Hunters from being able to interact with the four demons involved in the Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers quest chain.
Priest
- Fixed an issue where re-speccing did not remove Divine Spirit appropriately.
Rogue
- The 6-piece Tier 1 bonus no longer puts Vanish on cooldown.
Shaman
- You can no longer have Burn and Way of Earth active at the same time by using Rockbiter Weapon Rank 3.
Warlock
- Shadowflame will no longer be overwritten by Improved Shadow Bolt.
Warrior
- The Warrior 2-piece Tier 1 bonus Tactician will no longer be consumed if the spell cast was a free Blood Surge Slam.
And that covers all of the hotfixes that were mentioned in the most recent blue post by the Classic devs. World of Warcraft Season of Discovery is slowly amping up the heat as more and more guilds are setting foot in the Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair.
