  • While inside Naxxramas, the 6-piece bonuses for tank warrior, tank warlock, and tank druid will now dynamically update your Last Stand, Vengeance, and Survival Instincts if the new value would be lower and you do not have a debuff that lowers your health active.
• Rogue
  • The tank T1 6-piece set bonus now provides a 20% damage reduction (was 50%).

• The Suspicious Book and Fireworks Hat should no longer disappear prematurely, and players should be able to loot them as expected. Players who were previously affected by this bug will find the loot in their mail after about an hour.
• Lowered the number of tasks required to be completed to earn the highest Surge Pricing reward to 150, down from 250.
