  • Siegecrafter Blackfuse Saw Blades Now Damage Shredders in MoP Classic

    Siegecrafter Blackfuse Saw Blades Now Damage Shredders in MoP Classic

    Siegecrafter Blackfuse Saw Blades Now Damage Shredders in MoP Classic

    Blizzard’s June 10 Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix makes a clear change to the Siegecrafter Blackfuse encounter in Siege of Orgrimmar: Saw Blades now deal damage to Automated Shredders. This note appears in Blizzard’s official hotfix thread, and was also highlighted by Wowhead’s MoP Classic coverage. If your raid is working on Blackfuse, plan around blades contributing real damage to the Shredder add from here on out.

    Source: see Blizzard’s hotfix post (Updated June 10) and Wowhead’s summary for Mists of Pandaria Classic. Link: Mists of Pandaria Classic Hotfixes, and Wowhead’s news post.

    Note: As of the June 10, 2026 update, the hotfix line for this encounter is specifically: “Saw Blades now deal damage to Automated Shredders.” No other Siegecrafter adjustments are listed in the source notes.

    Practically, this means you can squeeze extra value from each blade path. If you’re kiting or positioning blades, angle them through the Shredder’s route or tank spot when safe to do so. This won’t replace focused DPS, but it’s free damage that can shorten the add’s uptime and ease pressure during high-movement moments.

    Quick UI and macro tips for cleaner Shredder kills

    • Keep enemy nameplates on so the Shredder is easy to pick up immediately when it spawns. If your UI supports nameplate auras, show high-visibility debuffs from your group.
    • Use a simple target macro to snap to the add the instant it’s active:

    /targetexact Automated Shredder
    /startattack

    This macro helps melee and tanks re-engage quickly if the battlefield is busy with blades. Ranged can use it to confirm target swaps before sending cooldowns.

    If you coordinate blade paths in your group, make sure whoever is guiding them calls their line clearly in voice and uses ground pings or a quick raid marker on the Shredder’s position. The goal is simple: pass blades through the add without clipping your own team.

    That’s the whole change in the notes. If Blizzard posts further encounter updates, we’ll revisit with any new UI or macro tweaks worth adding.

    Legendary questline blocker fixed in latest Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix

    Blizzard has issued a Mists of Pandaria Classic hotfix that clears a bug blocking progress on the legendary questline and restores access to replacement cloaks. The update also includes a handful of PvP, world, and quality-of-life fixes. You can read a concise roundup via Wowhead’s report on the hotfix, which cites Blizzard’s notes from June 3, 2026 (Wowhead: Legendary questline bugs fixed).

    Here are the player-facing highlights called out in the notes:

    • Legendary: A bug that prevented some players from starting/continuing the legendary questline and from buying replacement cloaks has been fixed.
    • Transmog: Outfit and slot costs were reduced by 90%, after being unintentionally high in patch 5.5.4.
    • World: Prideful Gladiator gear was removed from World Boss loot (it was temporarily and unintentionally rewarded).
    • PvP: Battle Fatigue now functions correctly.
    • Currency: Warforged Seals now use their expected rolling weekly cap.
    • Travel: Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider can be mounted as intended.

    Blizzard’s rolling hotfix post was also updated on June 9–10 with a few additional fixes worth noting, including a Siege of Orgrimmar mechanic correction (Blizzard blue post: MoP Classic hotfixes):

    • Daily quests: Hilda Hornswaggle and other NPCs should now be present for their Ruins of Ogudei dailies.
    • Orgrimmar: Sylstrasza and Kyanite Stonetender should once again be present atop Grommash Hold.
    • Items: Cooldown-reduction trinkets will continue to function while loading screens are active.
    • Raid: In Siege of Orgrimmar, Siegecrafter Blackfuse’s Saw Blades now damage Automated Shredders.

    Note: If you were stuck on the legendary questline or missing access to a replacement cloak, check back in with your usual quest and vendor NPCs after this hotfix. Blizzard’s notes indicate those paths should be available again, though they did mention the issue only affected some realms.

    From a UI and tracking perspective, two changes may save you headaches: Warforged Seals should now line up with any weekly-cap tracking you use, and cooldown-reduction trinkets should behave more consistently through loading screens. If you maintain WeakAuras or timers that touch those features, it’s a good moment to verify everything still reads correctly after the hotfix.

    If more MoP Classic adjustments land this week, we’ll update with anything that impacts quest flow, raid mechanics, or common UI tracking.
