On Friday, March 31, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team on the Embers of Neltharion Public Test Realms (PTR) as we playtest PvP content in tandem with our new Embers of Neltharion items, PvP talents, and system changes. We’ll be observing and looking for feedback on general PvP combat, and we’re particularly interested in feedback on our new and updated PvP talents and our ...

Added clarification to two notes above:

• Demonology
  • Demonic Strength now increases the damage of Felstorm by 300% (was 400%). This does not affect PvP Combat.
  • Dreadbite damage reduced by 10%. This does not affect PvP Combat.

Here’s where we’re starting:

In patch 10.0.7, we made changes to several classes to address issues we saw with itemization or talent trees. Game data since the patch went live has shown us that certain specs are overperforming, so with scheduled weekly maintenance on March 28, we’ll make the changes below.

CLASSES

DEATH KNIGHT

• Frost
  • All ability damage reduced by 3%.

HUNTER

• Beast Mastery
  • Kill Command damage reduced by 10%.
• Marksmanship
  • All ability and pet damage reduced by 4%.
• Survival
  • Mongoose Bite damage reduced by 10%. This does not affect PvP Combat.

Now that Patch 10.0.7 is live in all regions, how’s it going for you?

Please use this thread to let us know how you’ve felt about the first couple of days of this patch. What are your likes and dislikes with the new content and updates?

Thank you!

We’re now testing a new scenario coming in Embers of Neltharion, in which you’ll assist researchers Rannan Korren, Greta Herzig, and Thaelin Darkanvil as they investigate a Titan mining lockdown with their new niffen guides in the Zaralek Cavern.

The adventurer Rannan Koren, a member of the Dragonscale Expedition, often heads into the fray before his colleagues are ready. You’ll get to know Rannan and his new Niffen friends Tuberros and Perisimona during the Embers of Neltharion campaign, and you’ll then assist Rannan and his small group of researchers through a new public event located in the heart of the Zaralek Cavern. His group, with the players help, will try to lift a hostile titan lockdown of a mining operation in the Sulfur Wastes, or investigate an abandoned Zaqali Djaradin ruins in the Molten Overflow.

It should require many players to defeat the powerful foes that will resist Rannan and his company as they seek to complete their objectives. The area is dange...

Specifically, we fixed the bug today with Demonic Inspiration and Wrathful Minion.

How’are’ya’now?

Can confirm.

In PTR testing, we heard feedback on this, and the Primordial Stones were adjusted specifically for PvP.

• All bonus damage, healing, absorb, and stat enhancements from Primordial Stones are reduced by 75% in PvP Combat.

Thank you very much!

Along with the launch of patch 10.0.7 next week, we’ll make adjustments to some classes that are underperforming or overperforming in endgame content.

Because of the timing of these changes, we intend to add all of the following to the 10.0.7 patch notes. Please note that some changes below affect talents that are new or redesigned in 10.0.7, and all should be testable on the 10.0.7 PTR soon.

PRIEST

• Rhapsody now grants a stack every 2 seconds (down from every 5 seconds).
• Holy
  • Burning Vehemence now causes Holy Fire to deal 30%/60% of its initial damage to all nearby enemies (was 15%/30%) .

SHAMAN

Embers of Neltharion features all new Tier Set armor for every class. We’re excited to share them with you today.

• Please note that the designs and values below are a work in progress. When these sets are ready for testing, the Embers of Neltharion PTR may include values other than what you see here, and values may be updated on the PTR with changes to these sets via hotfix at any time.

Class Set Design

Set armor bonuses in Season 1 had relatively low impact on gameplay and rotations, because we wanted to give the new talent system room to shine. In Embers of Neltharion, set bonuses can have more impact on your resources, cooldowns, and talents. Some bonuses are enhanced by playing certain talents, and some build on popul...

As you’ll see in our hotfixes update later, we hotfixed the game today to fix the quest Drums Here!

Valdrakken Rep, Artisan’s Consortium rep, and Leatherworking Design rewards are doubled for this week to compensate for the bug. They’ll go back to their previous reward values next week.

Greetings PvPers of the Dragon Isles!

In the Embers of Neltharion PTR, you’ll see a number of PvP changes, and we want to discuss and provide context around these changes. We’ve felt that the game pacing in Dragonflight has been close to what we’d like, apart from having health spikes that are too large in burst windows. The changes below are decisions we’re looking to make alongside each other, to move even closer to game pacing that we’re happy with.

Critical Strike PvP Value

At the beginning of Shadowlands, we increased the Critical strike damage and healing value to 175% from 150% in PvP (from the normal 200%). We will be reverting this change, so the Critical Strike value will be 150% in PvP to address our burs...
