World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Sit down with World of Warcraft Classic team designers to explore more of what Season of Discovery Phase 2 has in store for you. We will take you through new raid information, dungeon, Rune ability, PvP, and profession updates, and more.

With this preview we want to take a moment to get ahead of the PTR since, like the previous Classic PTR, the content for Season of Discovery Phase 2 will not actually be available to play. We also want to help assuage any incorrect assumptions from any datamining that may occur as the PTR also holds some data that could be misleading, is experimental, is meant for later phases, or even are items that did not make the cut.

Please note that all examples are works in progress and may not reflect the final stats.
