1.60.1.70425
  • Auto Shot has the same 0.5 second stand-still requirement. It keeps firing while you cast spells such as Aimed Shot.
  • Trueshot Aura now affects the whole raid.
  • Resourcefulness only triggers on melee and ranged ability crits now, not traps. It also correctly lowers the mana cost of Strider Kick.
  • You can keep one fire trap and one ice trap active at the same time. Before this, the limit was one trap of any type.
  • Summon Hawk spawns the hawk on the target you cast it on and keeps it attached to that target.
  • Pet abilities were toned down. Dismember now reduces healing by 25% (was 50%). Sonic Blast now slows casting by 30% (was 60%). Both last for less time and have longer cooldowns.
