Intended to reduce damage taken, a little known bug was causing the second rank Apex to increase it instead!
According to the note, the talent was actually hotfixed this past Friday afternoon, though the issue became sensationalized across social media over the weekend, after a fix for the issue was first pushed onto the PTR. This hotfix now corrects the behavior on live servers as well, where it should result in a noticeable survivability increase for Blood Death Knights.
On Friday at about 12:30 p.m. PDT, we deployed this hotfix:
Fixed a bug that caused the Dance of Midnight Apex talent ranks 2 and 3 to incorrectly increase damage taken. They now decrease damage taken, as intended.
This will appear in our next hotfixes update.
