WoW hotfixes for September 9 · Ula’tek and Den of Nalorakk fixes
The practical highlights from the latest fixes, with a clear distinction between corrected mechanics and difficulty tuning.
Blizzard’s September 9 hotfixes address raid and dungeon bugs. This is not a blanket raid nerf.
Pets can contribute again
Pets can damage The Winter Squall in Den of Nalorakk. Ula’tek gained health-threshold safeguards for leaving Rage of the Shackled. Preternatural Antivenom’s effect is no longer incorrectly restricted to its wearer. Blizzard’s notes
Prey rewards on additional characters
Characters at Preyhunter’s Journey rank 6 can receive 500 Corrosive Coin daily for defeating Ral’kala, rather than only the first character receiving the reward. Blizzard’s notes
What should your group do?
If a bug forced your group to change its strategy, check whether that workaround is still necessary before your next attempt. A corrected interaction alone does not establish a boss’s new difficulty. The original notes contain the full class-by-class list.
