A new week brings a new WoW: Legion update (7.0.3 hotfix) alongside a new patch 7.1 PTR build. The hotfix includes class spell changes, quest tuning, and more.
As noted by Blizzard, some of the hotfixes take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update.
September 28 Hotfixes
Classes
The ground mount speed bonus from Broken Isles Pathfinder now stacks with the passive class bonuses On a Pale Horse and Heart of Crusader.
Death Knight
Multiple Unholy Death Knights with the Armies of the Damned artifact trait can now have their Death, Pestilence, and Famine debuffs applied at the time.
Monk
Soothing Mist is no longer interrupted by Spirit Tether.
(Brewmaster) Set bonuses for the Battlewrap of the Hurricane’s Eye (Tier 18) have been adjusted:
2 pieces: Increases the chance for your Gift of the Ox to summon a Healing Sphere by 2% (was 5%).
4-pieces: Every time you gather a Healing Sphere, the remaining cooldowns of your Ironskin Brew and Purifying Brew are reduced by 1 second (was 5 seconds).

Earlier this week, Blizzard already announced some revisions to the hotfix that was announced earlier. Read about the patch 7.0.3 hotfix (September 26) revisions right here.
As you might have learned, Legion’s first update, patch 7.1 “Return to Karazhan”, is currently live on the Public Test Realm (PTR), and a new PTR build (version 22685) is being deployed. This build includes quite some class and other changes, and we suggest you read the post about the new build at WoWhead.
Patch 7.1 reintroduces players to the TBC Karazhan raid, but this time as large 5-man dungeon. All 9 bosses will make their appearance in the new Karazhan dungeon, which can be accessed via a newly created side-entrance. Please note, that an attunement is mandatory to enter the new Karazhan dungeon.
