For Raid and Mythic+:
With fixes to Unholy Death Knight, raiders can compete again. Patch 12.0.5 was supposed to bring a suite of buffs to Unholy, which were then lost in a sea of bugs. Other classes have also seen a suite of fixes, including an annoying bug on Rogues that made Cloud Cover visible to their entire party.
For the Everyday Player:
Decorative Dornogal Opals are now available for purchase from the Decor Duel Vendor, adding some extra baubles to housing. Some bugs in Delves were also fixed to address out-of-range objectives.
Here are today’s hotfixes:**

Pandaren characters who boost during the intro sequence will now be able to port to their houses.
Classes
Death Knight
Unholy
Festering Scythe is now an aura on the player, resolving issues that occur when extending the duration of plagues.
Developers’ notes: The underlying issue here was proving to be problematic for a number of reasons and we felt like this would be the safest approach for now.
Resolved an issue causing Magus of the Dead to not take action immediately on spawn.
Resolved an issue causing Forbidden Knowledge Rank 4 to activate less than stated.
Resolved an issue causing Unholy Devotion to grant Haste in addition to attack speed and energy regeneration.
Disease Cloud is now cast by the Abomination, resolving issues such as it not interacting with pet scaling talents.
Demon Hunter
Devourer
Fixed an issue causing the Single-Button Assistant and Assisted Highlight to not recommend Collapsing Star outside of melee range.
Vengeance
Fixed an issue that caused Metamorphosis to be put on cooldown when Last Resort’s effect triggered.
Hunter
Marksmanship
Corrected an issue where Unbreakable Bond could give the damage reduction effect to the hunter rather than their pet.
Mage
Frost
Fixed an issue causing Hand of Frost (Rank 2) to not provide the correct percent chance increase per stack of Shatter.
Paladin
Holy
Fixed an issue that caused Holy Armaments to significantly impact framerates.
Priest
Shadow
Voidweaver: Fixed an issue causing Overwhelming Shadows to increase the damage of Mind Blast.
Rogue
Trickster: Fixed an issue that caused Cloud Cover’s effect to cost 30 Energy to activate.

Warlock

Fixed an issue where Jinx would not function if Foul Mouth was not talented.
Demonology

Delves
Valeera is no longer unwilling to attack Poison Dart Frog or Giant Cursed Bullfrog.
Atal’Aman
Adjusted the placement of several out-of-range Sanctified Banners in two story variants.
The Darkway
The Corrupted Leyline will no longer sometimes continue to cast Detected! after being out of its range.

Hunter
Marksmanship
Precise Shots now benefits Kill Shot and Black Arrow at 50% effectiveness in PvP combat.
Black Arrow damage reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
All damage reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
Developers’ notes: Several talent changes in 12.0.5 led to Marksmanship overperforming in PvP. These updates target changes to Black Arrow and their overall damage to account for the new interactions and reduce their effectiveness at both burst damage and overall pressure.
Mage
Mass Invisibility will no longer target players carrying the Deephaul Crystal in Deephaul Ravine.
Priest
Fixed an issue causing Cyclone to be able to be applied while a Priest has Psychic Shroud active.
Quests
Fixed an issue where some Alliance players were unable to see the “Heavy Anchor” for “The Fragrance of the Dunes” quest.
Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to turn in Nebulous Voidcores to Decimus while on the quest “Artifice of Aggression”.
Fixed an issue that could cause Lorna Crowley to phase out when engaged for the Arcantina quest “A Generational Moment”.
