(Note to patreons: I am very sorry I was not able to make a post at the start of the patch due to my Father needing assistance and supervision with a serious life-threatening condition. This was a very difficult and unusual situation very unlikely to be repeated. If you sent me a message to me recently this is why I have not yet responded.)*

This is a provisional post and will likely be updated.

966 Million DPS - One-Shotting Everything In Anniversary Raid

There have been several reports that certain lower-level players have been able to solo everything in the new Blackrock Depths Anniversary Raid. Not all classes or brackets appear to be affected-I tried with a level 41 monk and noticed nothing unusual. I then tried with a level 44 demon hunter and found I could one-shot all trash and kill bosses in a few hits. I ended up doing 966 million dps according to one worried player who was concerned I would get him banned for exploiting.

At this moment in time I am not sure exactly what class/level combinations glitch out dps in the same manner but demon hunters/priests in the 30/40 seem to work. There are likely other combinations.

Rushing Wind Kick

Despite fast hotfixes/nerfs/rollbacks to well-publicized shaman and rogue exploits other class abilities still appear to be bugged or at very least heavily overtuned in all content.

The best example of this currently is the monk mistweaver talent  Rushing Wind Kick:

Their appears to be an unintended interaction between the tea of plenty talent when rising sun kick procs which in turn causes unlimited rushing wind procs. (Others have speculated there may be other MW bugs causing similar overtuned damage)

New Paladin Talent Worthy Sacrifice Has Multiple Bugs

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=469279/worthy-sacrifice

  • Worthy sacrifice, which automatically casts blessing of sacrifice on a low-health target, has no inner cooldown. This can lead to situations in which a paladin has blessing of sacrifice on his entire team instead of just one target.

  • The talent automatically applies Blessing of Sacrifice when a n ally drops below 35% health. While worthy sacrifice triggers the cooldown correctly, it can continuously reapply the same effect, resulting in near 100% uptime if a teammate remains under 35% health. This interaction is clearly unintended.

Overtuned Class Specializations

In general I am receiving reports that Ret Paladins, Hunters, and Ferals are in general producing DPS that is too high to be sustainable throughout the patch and my limited playing experience testing is confirming this. I have heard specific mention that the Beast Mastery Hunter talent "Laceration" is broken in mythic dungeons and contributing a significant amount of BM's total damage output in mythic dungeons.

Fun Visual Bugs

There are multiple reports of bugged mechagnome off-hand weapons appearing absurdly large in game eg

Also this mistweaver monk visual is a lot of fun:

(I will very likely add more to this article tomorrow, or further articles, as there are other broken areas of the game - but I want to get something out tonight for patreons)
