Patch 2.5.2 also brings changes to PvP rewards and raid rewards. Bug fixes this go-around include:
- Resolved an issue that caused creatures to sometimes change their movement speed when pursuing a player to match that player's current speed.
- Totems can no longer be targeted with "totem stomping" macros.
- Resolved an issue with some characters that caused certain ranks of spells to not be recognized in Macros.

Patch 2.5.2 will be one of the first big updates to World of Warcraft content since the lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and discrimination at the hands of Activision Blizzard. This led to several high profile Blizzard employees to leave the company, including now-former President J. Allen Brack and Diablo 4 director Luis Barriga.
Additionally, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing alleged Activision Blizzard interfered with the investigation by shredding documents. Acitivision Blizzard claims these allegations are not true.
