Siege of Orgrimmar Bonus Roll Chance & Celestial Dungeon Fixes – Mists of Pandaria Classic Hotfix

Blizzard has pushed a Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix that adds a chance to receive a bonus roll after defeating Garrosh Hellscream in Siege of Orgrimmar and tunes several parts of the Celestial Dungeons. The changes are live with this week’s realm maintenance, as outlined in Blizzard’s forum post and Wowhead’s roundup.

For reference, see the official notes on the Blue Tracker and Wowhead’s coverage: Siege of Orgrimmar Bonus Roll Chance & Celestial Dungeon Fixes.

Quick summary of the hotfix

• Siege of Orgrimmar – Garrosh Hellscream: beginning with this week’s realm maintenance, defeating Garrosh now gives you a chance to bonus roll for an extra piece of loot.
• Celestial Dungeons – Kor’kron Arcweavers no longer ignore line of sight, and their Magistrike damage has been reduced.
• Celestial Dungeons – Kor’kron Banners have had their health significantly reduced.
• Celestial Dungeons – Kor’kron forces now respawn every 2 hours (was 5 minutes).
• Celestial Dungeons – August Stone Clusters now cap at 200 (was 70).
• Celestial Dungeons – The Coffer of Celestial Chance now awards 50–60 Lesser Charms of Good Fortune (was 20–30).

Note: Blizzard’s notes specify a chance to bonus roll after Garrosh. They do not state the odds or any additional conditions.

What this means for your runs

In Siege of Orgrimmar, set expectations clearly with your group: the extra loot opportunity after Garrosh is not guaranteed. It’s another roll of the dice, not a second full loot table. Plan your post-kill loot calls with a short pause to account for the bonus roll check.

For Celestial Dungeons, the trash should feel less punishing. Arcweavers respecting line of sight and reduced Magistrike damage removes some of the unavoidable pressure, and lower-banner health speeds up pack control. The much slower Kor’kron respawns (every 2 hours) also mean fewer surprise re-engagements while you regroup or path back.

The two reward changes are straightforward: you can hold up to 200 August Stone Clusters, and the Coffer of Celestial Chance yields 50–60 Lesser Charms of Good Fortune instead of 20–30. If you were frequently capping at 70, you now have more breathing room before you need to spend.

That’s the full scope of what Blizzard has announced. If additional details land, we’ll update this post to keep the guidance tight and accurate.
