Player versus Player

• The PvP quest “Against Overwhelming Odds” can no longer be completed while in a raid.
  • Developers’ Note: The intent of this quest is to incite aggression amongst players on the under represented faction throughout war mode. Allowing it to be completed in a raid focused too much of that aggression in one place in one large group. This change spreads the fight out into more parts of the world.
• The weekly PvP Call to Arms quests can no longer be completed while in a raid, and do not count kills on players below level 120 or with the Honorless Target debuff active.

• Isle of Conquest
  • Siege Vehicles and Bombs no longer deal damage to enemy commanders.

• 
  Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
  • Fixed a bug that caused Lively Spirit (Azerite Trait) to grant less Intellect than intended when engaged in combat with enemy players.
