- Beastlord - Consolidated Steadfast Resolve to be ranks 8-13 of Playing Possum.
- Beastlord - Reduced the range of Companion's Sacrifice from 100 to 25 feet to fix a bug that prevented your pet from shielding you if the ability was activated at large distances. The ability now triggers Companion's Tether which will gravitate your pet to within 25 feet of you for the duration of the shielding effect.
- Cleric - Modified all ranks of Celestial Rapidity to function for heal-over-time spells in addition to instant-duration healing and damage spells.

- Magician - Fixed an error that caused the haste component of Theft of Essence to reduce instead of increase attack speed.
- Magician - Removed the range extension from ranks 5-15 of Shared Health and added a healing component to ranks 5-8 to fix a bug that prevented your pet from shielding you if the ability was activated beyond its initial range. The ability now triggers Companion's Tether which will gravitate your pet to within 25 feet of you for the duration of the shielding effect.
- Magician - Added a mana cost to all ranks of Force of Elements.
- Magician - Elemental Union has been renamed Thaumaturge's Focus and the ability line has been changed to only focus magic based spells.
- Necromancer - Adjusted Death Bloom to stack with the Manaskin line of spells.
- Necromancer - Scent of Terris has been renamed Scent of Thule and the ability line has been changed to trigger Death's Malaise, your Scent of Terris spell, and the highest rank of your Scent of Gloom line of spells on your target.
- Paladin - Fixed an error that prevented rank 2 of Blessing of Purification from triggering Purified Protection on your target.
- Shaman - Ranks 2-13 of Pact of the Wolf now scale the buff granted to members of the shaman's group down to an earlier rank for lower level group members.
- Warrior - Adjusted Heroic Rage (the recourse from Wars Sheol's Heroic Blade) to stack with the shaman ability Group Pact of the Wolf.
- Wizard - Changed ranks 19-23 of Mana Burn to deal direct damage rather than percentage based damage and fixed an error that prevented the ability's debuff from blocking additional Mana Burn spells from landing.


*** Progression Servers ***

- Merchants will not stock Mechanoinstructions until The Darkened Sea is open.


*** UI ***

- Fixed an issue where zoning into some instances would display their zone number instead of their name.
- Fixed a bug that caused messages indicating that a spell did not land because it was blocked by another spell to appear twice.
- Fixed a bug that caused your stats to appear to be higher than expected when a buff failed to land on you.
- - Ex: Casting Assurance on a target with Arcronite Blessing would cause the target to report having more health than they really had.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the raid window to act as if you had disbanded from a raid when repeatedly pressing the raid invite accept button.
- Corrected an issue where buffs of incorrect players could appear in the target window.
- Moved a variety of messages that were being sent to the My Spells filter into more appropriate filters.
- Added a new Spell Emotes filter, which includes messages related to spells landing and fading.
