Blizzard has posted hotfixes for today, which includes fixing issues with mobs giving count in Ruby Life Pools.

Ghosts can no longer target tanks on Mythic Coiled Altar.

Mobs in Ruby Life Pools will now always give count.

Font of Venomous Rage has been nerfed in player vs player (PvP).

Inflation for player vs player (PvP) Rating has been increased.

Hotfixes September 17, 2026.

Dungeons and Raids.

Ruby Life Pools.

Addressed an issue where Blazebound Destroyers or Primalist Flamedancers could fail to contribute towards enemy forces if no player was on their threat table when they finished their death sequence.

Developers’ notes: A known side-effect of this change is that these creatures will no longer display their contribution towards enemy forces on their tooltip in the default UI.

The Venomous Abyss.

The Coiled Altar.

Fixed an issue where Unnerving Fixation was targeting tanks more often than intended.

Player versus Player.

Significantly increased player vs player (PvP) rating inflation for all rated PvP modes with emphasis on Battleground Blitz, Rated Battlegrounds, and Rated 3v3 Arena.

Developers’ notes: We’ve seen your feedback that achievable player vs player (PvP) ratings are not meeting expectations, so we’re applying a significant increase to PvP rating inflation starting now for all rated PvP modes with emphasis on Battleground Blitz, Rated Battlegrounds, and Rated 3v3 Arena. As with past changes to inflation, this adjustment is intended to improve progression as the season continues and support healthier ladder movement. We’ll continue monitoring rating distribution and make further adjustments as necessary. Thank you for your continued feedback and we’ll see you on the battlefield!.

Font of Venomous Rage trinket damage reduced by 50% in player vs player (PvP) combat.
