Blizzard has released new hotfixes for the Season of Discovery. These updates include changes to the Poacher’s Cave tunnel, various class adjustments, and fixes for Molten Core mechanics.
Poacher’s Cave Tunnel
- Each side of the tunnel between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes now has an independent cooldown. This means players can return quicker.
- Smoke asphyxiation still limits the use of the tunnel to twice an hour.
Molten Core Adjustments
- Players can no longer line of sight Flamewaker Priests from Sulfuron Harbinger or outrange them to prevent the cast from Dark Mending. It must be interrupted!

Conclusion
Blizzard has made some exciting changes to the Season of Discovery. Now, the Poacher’s Cave tunnel has independent cooldowns on both sides, so players can return faster. Just remember, smoke asphyxiation still limits you to using it twice an hour.
In Molten Core, you can’t hide from Flamewaker Priests anymore. You’ll need to interrupt their Dark Mending spell. They made the timing easier for you to do that.
For different classes, there are some neat updates. Druids in Moonkin Form will now generate less threat. Hunters’ traps will now do damage based on 25% of their attack power. Mages have fixes for their Molten Core set and Arcane Blast healing. Paladins have better threat reduction with the Vengeance talent. Priests will find their Homunculi less aggressive. Rogues won’t have bugs with their 6-piece set triggering incorrectly. Shamans’ Spirit Wolves will now show all their abilities. Warriors get correct lines from Khonsu and a fix for their Tier 1 set bonus.
