Player versus Player
In 2v2 Arenas, every Shadow Sight after the first one has an increased duration of 5 seconds.
Developers’ notes: The Shadow Sight debuffs in Arenas were originally intended to allow for play against those who would delay or stall games using Stealth classes. With the current state of Subterfuge and other abilities in Mists of Pandaria, it has become clear that Shadow Sight behavior is not fulfilling its intended purpose. This change results in Shadow Sight lasting 15 seconds the first time it is picked up, and then 20 seconds, the second time, and then 25 seconds the third time, and so on.

Fixed a bug causing Holy Paladins to fail to be treated as melee by some abilities after using Crusader Strike.
Arms Warriors’ Sweeping Strikes no longer deal 100% increased damage to Garalon’s body when striking a Leg.
Developers’ notes: In Original Mists of Pandaria, during the first week of Heart of Fear Heroic difficulty, a Garalon hotfix addressed Sweeping Strikes, Blade Flurry, and similar effects. This was later superseded by changes made to Sweeping Strikes in patch 5.4, when Garalon was no longer the most relevant content. This fix returns Sweeping Strikes to its original behavior for Garalon’s body.
Rogue
Subtlety
Sanguinary Veins bonus damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).
Developers’ notes: A bug fix made right before the release of Heart of Fear addressed a situation where multiple rogues in a group were constantly removing this damage increase from each other and not benefitting from it. The bug was pulling down average Subtlety performance, and since the correction, things got a little out of hand. This may display an incorrect value between 40/45/50%, so to be clear, 40% is the intended value.

In the Dalaran Sewers Arena, Priests can no longer place Lightwells in areas that other players cannot reach.
