Blizzard releases hotfix; Kael'thas nerfed



The Living Bomb talent interaction that caused for so many memorable wipes has been removed from the game.

Blizzard may have made Kael'thas a little too faithful to his WoW raid boss iteration. Specially, the part about him being able to kill multiple heroes with 1 spell.

A hotfix was released earlier this morning on NA servers that fixes several game breaking bugs and, most importantly, the extremely powerful synergy between Kael'thas' most powerful talents:

Kael’thas’ Chain Bomb and Ignite Talents will no longer apply Living Bomb to enemies that are already affected by another Living Bomb. The tooltip for these Talents will be clarified in a future patch.

As far as nerfs go, this is something we all could of seen coming. Kael'thas loyalist defended the level 16 powerspike as a reasonable trade off for his complete lack of mobility or protective options, but it's hard to justify that when Blizzard is sneaking balance changes in a hotfix patch. The hotfix also Sonya's Whirlwind from sometimes costing double the rage and a rare Rehgar glitch that made players lose control of their heroes after being afflicted by Anub'arak's Web Wrap.

Maybe now we will actually read the other level 13 and 16 talents. Arcane Barrier actually sounds pretty good for those who love globe farming at level 1.

R.I.P silly Kael'thas Gifs.
