      • All Lesser Ghouls damage reduced by 20%.
      • Outnumber Lesser Ghoul Sweeping Claw damage reduced by 30%.
      • Pet Ghoul Sweeping Claws damage reduced by 30%.
      • Scourge Strike and Vampiric Strike damage reduced by 20%.
      • Infected Claws damage reduced by 20%.
      • Graveyard damage reduced by 20%.
      • Necrotic Coil damage reduced by 20%.
      • Morbidity now increases the damage the target takes per disease by 1% (was 2%).
      • Dread Plague and Virulent Plague damage reduced by 15%.
      • All damage reduced by 15%.
      • Forbidden Knowledge Rank 4 now has a 25% chance to cause a Lesser Ghoul to Putrefy (was 15%).
        The following Priest changes were hotfixed to the 12.0.1 Beta realms:
  • Priest
    • Holy
      • Developers’ notes: Holy Priest has fallen behind other healers in output. We are increasing some controlled sources of healing with this change and including some reductions in power to Cosmic Ripple as well as reductions to the power of a couple Archon talents to better maintain Hero Talent balance and keep the healing experience consistent with more healing from directly casted spells.
      • Flash Heal healing increased by 12%.
      • Prayer of Healing healing increased by 12%.
      • Holy Word: Serenity healing increased by 12%.
      • Holy Word: Sanctify healing increased by 12%.
      • Renew healing increased by 12%.
      • The second and third rank of Benediction now increases Cosmic Ripple healing by 15%/30% (was 25%/50) and increases all healing done by 6%/12% (was 5%/10%).
      • Archon: Empowered Surges increases the healing of spells affected by Surge of Light by 5% (was 15%).
      • Archon: Halo healing reduced by 20%.
    • Shadow
      • Developers’ notes: Shadow has been overperforming relative to other specializations, particular as Voidweaver. We’re reducing the power of some of its talents to bring its power level more in line with other specializations and the Archon Hero Talent tree.
      • Fixed an issue causing Void Torrent to have a 45 second cooldown instead of the intended 30 second cooldown.
      • Voidweaver: Voidheart now increases Shadow damage by 5% (was 10%).
      • Voidweaver: Overwhelming Shadows now increases Void Torrent damage by 30% (was 50%).
      • Voidweaver: Inner Quietus now increases the damage of Vampiric Touch and Shadow Word: Pain by 20% (was 35%).
        The following Restoration Shaman changes were hotfixed to the 12.0.1 Beta realms:
  • Shaman
    • Restoration
      • Developers’ notes: We’re pulling back on the power of some healing effects that are harder to control, particularly Stormstream Totem, and increasing the healing of controlled sources with the goal of a more consistent healing experience. We also made a recent change to allow Stormstream Totem to also be usable after casting Nature’s Swiftness which works in tandem with these goals.
      • Healing Rain healing increased by 30%.
      • Chain Heal healing increased by 10%.
      • Healing Wave healing increased by 10%.
      • Riptide healing increased by 10%.
      • Stormstream Totem now causes Riptide to have a 6% chance to upgrade Healing Stream Totem to Stormstream Totem (was 10%).
      • Stormstream Totem now heals for 10% more than Healing Stream Totem (was 30%).
      • Totemic: Primal Catalyst chance for Earthliving to trigger is now 8% (was 20%).

We’ll get underway at 1:00 p.m. PST (3:00 p.m. CST, 4:00 p.m. EST) for two hours of dedicated playtesting.

To playtest with us, log on to the endgame realm “Xal’atath’s Endgame”, which has max level character templates and access to various vendors. To queue up, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), click on the Player vs. Player tab at the bottom, select Quick Match and then navigate to Slayer’s Rise at the bottom of the Specific Battlegrounds view .

We recommend taking some time to get your character setup properly for PvP combat. Please check out the various gear and profession vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and utilize the latest trinkets, PvP gear, and class sets in Midnight.

We look forward to playtesting with you and reading your feedback afterward, see you there!

A: Yes, let’s have more Bronze!

With hotfixes that are now live on all realms, we’ve cranked up the Bronze for the last few weeks of patch 11.2.7. We’re putting extra Bronze all over the Broken Isles:

  • Raid bosses on all difficulties now drop a full Minor Bronze Cache (contains 2500 Bronze) in place of their previous Bronze offerings.
  • Lost Legion Infernals now drop a Greater Bronze Cache (12500 Bronze) once per day, per account.
  • Infinite Research quests now also grant a Lesser Bronze Cache (4000 Bronze).
  • Legion Assaults now grant a Bronze Cache (7500 Bronze).
  • Emissary Quests now grant a Greater Bronze Cache (+8500 Bronze) (was a Lesser Bronze Cache).
  • World Bosses now drop a Lesser Bronze Cache (4000 Bronze).

Additionally, we took the opportunity to speed up the recurrence of Legion Assaults:

  • Legion Assaults now cycle approximately 375% faster.

Bronze, Bronze, Bronze 'til the breaks of the dawns.

Please say hi to Pythagorus!
