Blizzard Ships World of Warcraft: Forever Beta Patch With Classic Looting
The fourth-week beta patch restores Classic looting behavior and reworks Druid, Priest and Shaman spells, leaving Rogues untouched.
Blizzard has released a new beta patch for World of Warcraft: Forever, arriving in the fourth week of the beta. The patch notes were posted on Blizzard's official forums, according to gamesradar.com.
The most visible change is the return of Classic looting behavior. Under the revised rules, creatures that dropped no loot can still be interacted with, a small quality-of-life shift aimed at players who loot every corpse out of habit.
The patch also brings class changes for several caster classes, including Druid, Priest and Shaman. Shamans see adjustments to the base points and points per level of Lightning Bolt ranks 1 through 5.
Rogue players received no changes in this build, a detail that has drawn disappointment from early players testing the beta.
The patch notes open with a block of bug fixes before moving into the class adjustments.
