Here are this week’s updates to the Dark Heart PTR:

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY

• Several changes have been made to improve the experience of finding Mythic+ groups in Premade Group Finder:
  • Advanced filters will now only appear for max level characters.
  • Filter options will now save between sessions.
  • Language filters will no longer appear for characters on North American realms.
  • Declined applications will now save between refreshes.
• When previewing an ensemble or arsenal, the Dressing Room will now show a list of items included in the bundle. Each item can be viewed independently by clicking its name in the list.
• Solo Shuffle scoreboards will now show the results of the match (Victory, Draw, or Defeat) in the title.

Season of Discovery

• There are now Emerald Warden guard NPCs present near Nightmare Incursion questgivers and quartermasters.
• The Atal’ai Mojo consumables are now Unique (2), allowing two to be carried and used.
• There is now a 2.60 speed version of the off-hand weapon Serpent’s Striker, available from Zalgo the Explorer on Yojamba Isle in exchange for the 1.50 speed version of the item.
• The drop rate of Nightmare Seeds in Sunken Temple has been increased by roughly 50%.
• Sigil of Living Dreams no longer requires a Nightmare Seed.
• Players should no longer occasionally gain no bonus blood when near Kha’damu and affected by Feast of Blood.
• Players will now gain the Honorless Target effect whenever they enter or leave a Nightmare Incursion portal.
• Rainbow Generator should now appear for troll, tauren, night elf, and all other races.
• Grizzwerks Defens...

In Season 4, we’re reducing the overall throughput of some healers to better align with our tuning goals. At the same time, we’re increasing the comparative power of Holy Paladin, Preservation Evoker, and Holy Priest without needing to further escalate the capabilities of healers.

The following adjustments are now deployed to the 10.2.6 PTR, and will go live with the beginning of Season 4 next week.

Monk

• Mistweaver
  • All healing done reduced by 13%. Does not apply in PvP combat.

Druid

• Restoration
  • All healing done reduced by 5%. Does not apply in PvP combat.

Shaman

• Restoration
  • All healing done reduced by 5%. Does not apply in PvP combat.

Priest

• Discipline
• Developers’ ...

In this post, we’ll update the score required to earn the Dreaming Hero title for Dragonflight Season 3. As a reminder, the title will go to all players who end Dragonflight Mythic+ Season 3 with a Mythic+ Rating in the top 0.1% in each region.

If the season ended today, in this region, the title would go to those who scored at least:

3662

Good luck!

With a hotfix that went live to all realms earlier today, Righteous Orbs no longer drop during Phase 3 of Season of Discovery.

They’ll become available as intended in Phase 4.

We’ve added one more change to what’s coming tomorrow:

Paladin

• The mana return of Seal of Martyrdom has been increased significantly.

As the phases have progressed the value and effectiveness of Shamanistic Rage has increased, mana has essentially become a negligible concern for many horde raids utilizing multiple shamans in phase 3. However, the mana return of Seal of Martyrdom has been comparatively quite modest since the launch of Season of Discovery.

We’ve decided to significantly buff the mana return of Seal of Martyrdom to bring it in line with the mana return of Shamanistic Rage. We recognize that the current phase has seen casters’ power progression fall behind that of melee specs, so we don’t want to further increase that divide at this time. We also don’t want to hinder raid groups who made progress in the raid last week with a nerf.

In general, we feel that mana as a resource should matter, and in the next p...

We identified a significant number of players who appear to have been trying for Rank, and used a lot of Bloodstained Commendations before the deadline, but did not obtain the requisite HKs that week. We’ve developed a one-time-only fixup for you.

On Tuesday, April 16, during scheduled maintenance – before the weekly calculations are started for the week of April 9-16 – we’re going to attempt to change the record for those player-characters who fit the above description for the week of April 2-9. The fixup will essentially change your history to make it look as though you got the requisite 15 HKs during the previous week.

In order to alleviate some animation bugs with Taivan, we recently reduced the default size of the mount.

This was a temporary measure, and we’re developing fixes for everyone’s goodest good boy. We expect to return Taivan to a larger size in 10.2.7, and we’re planning to test those fixes in an upcoming 10.2.7 PTR build.

We appreciate the enthusiastic feedback we’ve gotten on this!
