Thank you!


A hero, that's what you once were. You stood boldly against the shadow and purchased another dawn for the world... with your life. But the evil you fought is not so easily banished; the victory you claimed, not so easily held. For now, the specter of death looms over the world yet again and it has found new champions to bring about its final reign. Knights of darkness, wielding runes of death and destruction, bound by the will of the Lich King. This is the hour of their ascension. This is the hour of your dark rebirth…


The Lich King’s armies present an ever-present threat to all life on Azeroth. Some of his most terrifying servants are known as Death Knights—unliving instruments of the Lich King’s will.

Unlike mindless Scourge puppets such as ghouls and skeletons, a Death Knight is a former hero of Azeroth that’s been risen into undeath to serve the Lich King for all eternity. As Worl...

With today’s new build of the Alpha, it’s possible to make a new Dracthyr and then find yourself stuck when accepting the first introductory quest.

We’ve seen most testers normally move past this situation within a second or two, but some do not.

We believe that if you make a new character, it shouldn’t happen again.

We’re working to get to the bottom of it.

With the Shaman talent trees in Dragonflight, we want to hone in on some core concepts that are unique to the class. Totems have long been a special thing for Shaman, and we’re giving some new options to manipulate your totems position, radius, duration, cleanse poisons, or even potentially reset the cooldown. We’re bringing back Alpha Wolf for Enhancement Shaman, spreading some Stormkeeper functionality to Restoration Shaman, and trying out a new variation of Elemental Blast for Elemental Shaman, where it replaces Earth Shock as a more expensive Maelstrom Spender. All three of the Shaman specializations have a distinct style of play, and we’re hoping the new talents allow you to focus on your important totems, utility, and style of damage or healing you enjoy.

Please use this thread to post feedback on the Shaman class, once you’ve tested it in the Dragonflight Alpha.

Thank you!

In this thread, please post your thoughts and feedback on profession specializations in the Dragonflight alpha. All feedback is welcome, but we’re particularly interested in your answers to the following questions:

  • After playtesting with these trees, are they easy to understand?
  • How do you feel about the way they allow you to improve within your Profession?
  • Are you excited about these bonuses, and do you feel like you’re making interesting decisions as you specialize?

Please keep several things in mind while you’re giving feedback:

  • The UI elements are still works in progress.
  • Some specialization paths and upgrades do not function yet, these are labeled with Not Yet Implemented (NYI).
  • There is a known issue with the Knowledge display in the Specializations UI that causes it to sometimes get out of sync when points are spent. Opening and closing the UI will resolve this desync.

Chart a course across the Shadowlands for this week’s Bonus Event – World Quests.

This Week

All week, open your map (default hotkey-"m") and select any of the regions in Shadowlands to view the World Quests available to you. To find out more about each World quest, simply hover your mouse over a World Quest on the map to see what tasks are needed to complete it, the rewards you’ll receive, and the time remaining that the quest is available to you.

Look for the following all week long:

  • Caretaker Kah-Toll in Oribos has a quest for you—The World Awaits. You can also start the quest from within the Adventure Guide (Shift-J).
    • Quest requirement: Complete 20 World Quests in the Shadowlands
    • Reward: Choice of one of four Covenant Commendations worth 500 Reputation and 3 Multi-Modal Anima Containers each worth 250 stored Anima for your Covenant Reservoir.

If you’re just returning after a hiatus from World of Warcraft, leveling another character (or two), or preparing to get a head start on Shadowlands Season 4 then this is the perfect time to jump into the game. Beginning this week with each region’s local weekly reset,  World of Warcraft* players level 10-59 will gain an experience buff called “Winds of Wisdom,” which will increase experience gains by 50%!

Don’t delay. The winds will shift once more with the start of Shadowlands Season 4, and the experience buff will no longer be available.

* Experience buff not available in World of Warcraft® Classic titles.
