World of Warcraft hotfixes for February 17
Today’s round of patch 6.0.3 hotfixes all involve the Blackrock Foundry raid, so if your guild has been having issues with particular fights, you might want to look over the list and see if that’s been addressed. Another hotfix was also rolled out today, but isn’t shown on the released list of hotfixes — a fix for a bug regarding the rogue ability Sanguinary Vein. Raids that brought two subtlety rogues found that only one rogue was receiving the benefits from Sanguinary Vein at a time. This has been addressed, and according to Community Manager Lore, the hotfix has been applied and should be active on all servers now.
