The Enhancement problems come down to three basic issues: too much emphasis on area damage, not enough meaningful and impactful cooldowns, and too many buttons to rotate through normally. As cool as the spec is, we wind up feeling unwieldy and tuned for a role we didn't really ask for.

Proving that there's no rest for the weary, we've already got our first round of hotfixes after this week's patch 6.1 rollout. On offer: an awful lot of bug fixes. Read on for the complete details.
