WoW Kraken Vanilla+ — Update

• Hunter pets: all ranks of Claw and Bite deal 100% of the pet's normal attack damage plus the ability's own damage. Damage depends on the pet's current stats. Focus costs, cooldowns, and autocast behavior are preserved. • Hunters: improved bot Auto Shot behavior when changing targets, turning, and dealing with obstacles. Minimum shooting range is 2 yards for Marksmanship and 4 yards for other paths. With Survival mastery, Mongoose Bite and Counterattack no longer require a previous dodge or parry; Mongoose Bite also hits the nearest second target. • Taming: fixed the Goblin Hunter questline, including taming rods, checks for the required creatures, and credit for successful taming. • Priests: Lightform grants +10% healing and −20% Holy spell threat, can be toggled off, and is incompatible with Shadowform. Shadow spells are unavailable except Fade. Word of Light: Renewal heals 3% of maximum health every 3 seconds for 9 seconds. • Rogues: the energy costs of Venomous Mark and Wrist Slash have been reduced to 15; Toxic Shock, Shadow Pulse, and Shadowstep to 20; and Double Lunge to 40. • Druids: Balance mastery reduces mana costs by 30%. Thicket Stomp in Bear Form hits up to four targets, applies a bleed, and generates increased threat. Fixed Cat Swipe's cooldown to 4 seconds at every rank. • Mastery effects: fixed duration displays for Pet Ferocity and Demonic Service; permanent effects no longer appear as ten-second effects. • LFG: matchmaking within ±5 levels, searches initiated by the group leader, and selection of multiple roles. Groups consist of a tank, a healer, and three damage dealers. Bots fill empty slots after 30 seconds with Premium, or after 8 minutes normally. • Enhanced dungeons: increased enemy damage. Stats on existing enhanced loot from Wailing Caverns, Shadowfang Keep, and Blackfathom Deeps have been increased by 30%. • Scarlet Monastery Graveyard: a first-phase raid for ten level 40 players, without PartyBots. Added 83 heroic rewards, additional loot for five bosses, and a final cache after Bloodmage Thalnos. Normal boss loot is preserved. • High Elves and mounts: fixed riding training, vendor access, and the flight from Ala'Thalas. Added three Thalassian unicorns: white, decorated, and armored. Normal racial mounts are available from level 20. • Items: translated 39 High Elf rewards and fixed the model for the Challenger's Tome. The Heart of the Everliving reduces all incoming damage by 25% for 15 seconds. Fixed an incorrect loot flag on the practice lock. • Quests: fixed Enraged Stanley's behavior change in Elixir of Pain; triggering it no longer depends on the player's position. Added missing fishing settings for one of the new areas. • Rules: changing mastery costs 20 gold. Creating a guild requires two signatures in addition to the owner. Hardcore can be enabled at level 1 even if the character has already gained some experience. • Interface: added party and raid frames for up to 40 members, showing health, resources, effects, death, and offline status. Updated bag sorting, dual specialization, and the quest map. • Masteries for every class: fixed missing and incorrect ability visuals. Updated 81 entries with suitable healing, defensive, strike, and movement effects. WoW Kraken Classic • Hunter pets: fixed leveling, overly rapid happiness and loyalty loss, and ability training. • Pets and PartyBot: fixed looting and skinning problems after kills made by pets and bots. • Warlocks: checked demon ability behavior and persistence. • Molten Core: fixed teleportation through Lothos after completing the attunement. • Devilsaur set: verified that the 2/2 hit-chance bonus works correctly. • Hardcore and Dual Spec: improved save reliability.
