Hello,

We have been following the conversation about tanks in our new PvP mode, Solo Shuffle. Tanks have long been a design challenge for PvP as their abilities and tuning are intended to allow them to survive against multiple enemies or Dungeon and Raid bosses. In Battleground modes, like Capture the Flag, where a large team killing a specific player is the primary objective, the existing design for tanks can work well. One team needs to coordinate their burst and crowd control against the other team’s tank and healers use of their defensive abilities and positioning. But, in the case of Arena, the general survivability of tanks (particularly when they are also good at dealing damage or healing their teammates) can be a frustrating experience to play against.

Our first attempt at addressing this problem in Solo Shuffle was to replace healers with tanks in matches where they were involved and to pair strong off-healing tanks (specifically Protection Paladins) against e...

We found an unfortunate bug with Korrak’s Revenge and had to quickly turn it off.

We expect to fix the bug and re-open Korrak’s Revenge with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The fix is going to require weekly maintenance, so please hang on a couple more days.

Thank you!

The future is now!

We’ve seen some recent feedback on the Catalyst that we’d like to speak to, with a bit of clarification on how we’re updating the Catalyst.

• All characters on your WoW account can contribute progress towards completing this quest.

• Completing the quest awards 1 charge to all current and future characters on yo...
