Quote from: Blizzard

Hello everyone.

This week’s update to the War Within Beta is now available to test. Please note that there is a possibility of some server instabilities over the next few days. If you encounter any issues with instabilities, please report them in the bug reporter.

CLASSES

DEATH KNIGHT
- Death Strike can now only heal the Death Knight for a percentage of damage taken from a given damage event once. Death Strikes that heal the minimum health amount do not count as using damage events in this way.
- Enfeeble reduces damage dealt to you by 12% (was 15%).
- Null Magic reduces Magic damage taken by 8% (was 10%).
- Hero Talents
  - Deathbringer (Blood/Frost)
    - Reaper’s Mark is now a 45 second cooldown (was 60 seconds).
    - Swift End now reduces the cooldown of Reaper’s Mark by 15 seconds (was 30 seconds).
    - Frost
      - Reaper’s Mark now scales with Mastery: Frozen Heart.
      - Wave of Souls now scales with Mastery: Frozen Heart.
      - Exterminate now scales with Mastery: Frozen Heart.
  - Rider of the Apocalypse (Frost/Unholy)
    - Damage of all Riders reduced by 15%
    - Hungering Thirst disease damage, Death Coil, and Frost Strike damage reduced to 10% (was 15%).
    - A Feast of Souls now Increases damage of Runic Power spenders by 20% (was 30%).
    - Trollbane’s Icy Fury damage reduced by 10%.
    - Undeath damage reduced by 10%.
- Blood
  - Consumption’s Blood Plague damage occurs 30% more quickly (was 50%) and duration reduced to 6 seconds (was 8 seconds).
  - Rapid Decomposition’s Blood Plague and Death and Decay now deal damage 15% faster (was 18%).
  - Coagulopathy now increases Blood Plague damage by 25% per stack (was 30%).
  - Developer’s note: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    Death Strike is a powerful ability that allows Blood Death Knights to mitigate a percentage of any form of damage taken in the last 5 seconds. In a way, Death Strike works like a retroactive shield block. Instead of reducing damage up front, it “mitigates” the damage you took from a hit by healing you. If used in succession, Death Strike can affect a single hit multiple times, which would be comparable to blocking a hit, then going back in time and blocking it again, in some cases restoring yourself to higher health than where you started. In The War Within, we are changing Death Strike to only heal the death knight for a percentage of damage taken from a given damage event once, to make it scale more like other tank mitigation mechanics.
    We are also reducing Runic Power generation somewhat and reducing some of the mitigation death knights get from high-uptime cooldowns like Enfeeble and Dancing Rune Weapon, but increasing armor from Bone Shield. Overall, death knights should take damage more smoothly, and they will remain one of the strongest tanks for encounters with high magic or periodic damage
  - A new aura, Coagulating Blood, shows the amount of recently taken damage that will be used to calculate the value of your next Death Strike. The aura description lists the value as a flat amount and the number of stacks shows it as a percentage of your current health.
  - Blood Shield’s cap is now 50% of the Death Knight’s maximum health (was 100%) and the cap is no longer temporarily increased by Vampiric Blood.
    - Developer’s note: This should not affect how much Blood Shield Death Knights are able to generate while actively tanking, but will reduce how large a barrier they are able to accumulate while off-tanking.
  - Bone Shield increases Armor by 100% of Strength (was 80%).
  - Leeching Strike now heals for 0.25% maximum health for each target hit (was 0.5%).
  - Dancing Rune Weapon increases Parry chance by 35% (was 40%).
  - Each active Dancing Rune Weapon generates 3 Runic Power when mirroring Heart Strike (was 5).
  - Everlasting Bond increases Dancing Rune Weapon’s duration by 6 seconds (was 8 seconds).
  - Blood Drinker reduces the damage the enemy deals to you by 15% (was 20%).
  - Bonestorm heals you for 2% of your maximum health (was 3%), up to a maximum of 10% (was 15%).
  - Bonestorm damage increased by 20%.
- Frost
  - Glacial Advance damage reduced by 15%.
  - Icy Death Torrent damage reduced by 15%.
  - Enduring Strength now grants 15% Strength (was 20%).

  - Ebon Fever now increases damage diseases deal by 12% (was 15%).
  - Bursting Sores now increases Festering wound damage by 16% (was 20%).
  - Bursting Sores damage reduced by 8%.
  - Superstrain now applies Blood Plague and Frost Fever at 75% (was 80%).
DEMON HUNTER
- Live By the Glaive now restores 2% of maximum health (was 4%).
- Hero Talents
  - Aldrachi Reaver
    - Incisive Blade effectiveness reduced to 15%.
  - Fel-Scarred
    - Havoc
      - Demonsurge no longer increases Armor or max health while your demon form is active.
      - Demonsurge now causes Demon’s Bite to generate 15 additional Fury (and 5 for Demon Blades) while your demon form is active.
- Vengeance
  - Developer’s note: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    Like Death Strike for Death Knights, Soul Fragments give Demon Hunters strong recovery against any type of damage, as well as strong self-healing. Because Demon Hunters consume Soul Fragments steadily, we are not changing the rules for how often they can affect a damage event. We are increasing Vengeance’s overall damage taken by weakening the damage reduction of talents like Void Reaver and Illuminated Sigils, while keeping the power of core abilities like Soul Fragments and Demon Spikes. They will continue to be one of the stronger tank classes at self-healing and surviving magic damage.
  - Thick Skin increases Stamina by 60% (was 65%).
  - Demonic Wards reduces physical and magic damage taken by 8% (was 10%).
  - Soul Cleave healing reduced by 20%.

  - Illuminated Sigils grants 12% Parry chance (was 15%).

  - Metamorphosis increases maximum health by 40% (was 50%).
  - Darkglare Boon now refreshes 15-30% of Fel Devastation’s cooldown (was 20-40%) and refunds 15-30 Fury (was 20-40).
DRUID
- Regrowth initial heal increased by 30%.
- Frenzied Regeneration heals you for 20% of your maximum health (was 32%).
- Ironfur increases Armor by 112% of Agility (was 120%).
- Renewal heals for 20% of maximum health (was 30%).
- Hero Talents
  - Keeper of the Grove (Balance/Restoration)
    - Dream Bloom healing increased by 20%.
    - Power of Nature increases the healing of Rejuvenation, Efflorescence, and Lifebloom by 10% (was 5%)
    - Minor Cenarion Ward cast from Durability of Nature healing increased by 100%.
    - Bounteous Bloom: Grove Guadian healing increased by 30% (was 20%).
    - Grove’s Inspiration increases Regrowth, Wild Growth, and Swiftmend healing by 9% (was 6%).
    - Potent Enchantments causes Tree of Life granted by Reforestation to last 3 seconds longer (was 2 seconds).
    - Harmony of the Grove increases your healing by 6% for each active Grove Guardian (was 3%).
  - Wildstalker (Feral/Restoration)
    - Symbiotic Blooms prefer to target injured players over pets or minions.
    - Symbiotic Blooms grow 30% more often.
    - Bond with Nature now increases healing taken by 3% (was 10%).
    - Harmonious Constitution now increases Regrowth’s healing to yourself by 35% for Restoration and 25% for Feral (was 50%).
    - Bursting Growth healing increased by 100%.
    - Implant causes Symbiotic Blooms to grow for 6 seconds (was 4 seconds).
    - Vigorous Creepers increases the healing your spells do to affected targets by 20% (was 6%).
- Guardian
  - Developer’s Notes: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    With high armor and Ironfur uptime, druids should be one of the best tanks at surviving physical damage. We’re slightly increasing the damage they take from all types of damage and balancing the power of their self-healing. We’re also reducing the durations of some of their cooldowns to make timing their use more important.
  - Reinvigoration reduces Frenzied Regeneration’s cooldown by 10/20% (was 20/40%).
  - Earthwarden reduces damage taken by 25% (was 30%).
  - Survival of the Fittest reduces cooldowns by 12/24% (was 15/30%).

For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    Healers have more time to heal monks than other tanks because Stagger spreads out the damage that they take over time. Our goal is for monks to take a little more damage overall than other tanks to offset this effect. However, we feel their overall magic damage mitigation is a little low compared to other tanks and are improving it somewhat by buffing Stagger and its value against magic. To increase their physical damage taken overall, we are primarily reducing the dodge granted by Elusive Brawler and some of their other talents.
  - Mastery: Elusive Brawler chance to dodge reduced by 12%.
  - Brewmaster’s Balance increases Armor by 50% (was 25%).
  - Celestial Fortune heals you for 70% of the amount healed (was 80%).

  - Dance of the Wind chance to dodge reduced to 5% (was 10%).
- Mistweaver
  - Ancient Teachings now transfers 170% of damage to healing (was 150%).
  - Tear of Morning now causes 12% of Enveloping Mist healing to transfer to allies with Renewing Mist (was 20%) and increases Vivify healing by 15% (was 20%).
  - Jade Bond now increases the Mastery healing from Chi-Ji by 60% (was 40%).

- Protection
  - Developer’s note: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    Paladins have a balance of good defenses against both physical and magical damage. They can be in danger if they lose the defensive power of standing in Consecration or if the armor bonus from Shield of the Righteous drops, so we are not reducing any of their passive physical defenses like armor or block. Like druids, paladins have high uptime on their defensive cooldowns, so we’re pulling back some of their durations to make timing their use more important. We would like paladins to have slightly more self-healing, so we are increasing the power of Word of Glory.
  - The damage reduction effect while standing in Consecrate of Mastery: Divine Bulwark is reduced by 20%.
  - Improved Holy Shield increases your chance to block spells by 8% (was 10%).

WARLOCK

  - Hellcaller (Destruction/Affliction)
    - Hatefury Rituals now increases the damage of Wither by 30% (was 50%) and reduces its duration by 15% (was 25%).
      - Developer’s note: We are reducing the damage increase of Hatefury Rituals so that it is a competitive choice against Bleakheart Tactics rather than the correct choice.
    - Affliction
      - Wither periodic damage decreased by 20%.
  - Soul Harvester (Demonology/Affliction)
    - Your Demonic Soul now benefits from the following interactions:
      - Mastery: Master Demonologist
      - Shadowtouched
    - Soul Anathema is now affected by Mastery: Potent Afflictions and Mastery: Master Demonologist.
    - Demonology
      - Succulent Soul now increases the damage of Hand of Gul’dan by 60% (was 20%).

WARRIOR
- Pain and Gain now heals for 2% of your max health (was 3.5%).
- Impending Victory heals you for 20% of your maximum health (was 30%).
- Protection
  - Developer’s note: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
    Warriors are the strongest tank against physical damage, though they can be vulnerable to magic or periodic damage. In this round of changes, we are increasing their damage taken across the board by reducing the power of Defensive Stance. Warriors also have some strong heals that scale with their maximum health, like Indomitable and Impending Victory, so we are reducing the power of those abilities to compensate for the 60% increase to Stamina.
  - Defensive Stance reduces damage taken by 16% (was 20%).
  - Fight Through the Flames causes Defensive Stance to reduce magic damage you take by 6% (was 5%).
  - Into the Fray increases Haste up to 8% (was 10%).

  - Enduring Alacrity increases Stamina and Armor by 8% (was 10%).

  - Defender’s Aegis reduces Shield Wall’s cooldown by 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).
  - Impenetrable Wall causes Shield Slam to generate an additional 4 Rage (was 3 rage) and reduces the remaining cooldown of Shield Wall by 6 seconds (was 5 seconds).
  - Disrupting Shout cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 75 seconds).

Quote from: Blizzard

With the introduction of the Dragonflight talents system and season-over-season changes, tanks in World of Warcraft have become extremely durable relative to non-tank characters. Their active defenses can mitigate high percentages of incoming damage and they have strong self-healing. Today, in the hardest content in the game, many tanks can sustain themselves without much assistance from healers. In some cases, we’ve seen it become optimal to do group content without a healer at all.

World of Warcraft is an MMO, and its multiplayer aspects are a major strength. Group content is extremely rewarding when players performing different roles come together to overcome a challenge. We want to reinforce the importance of the healer role and work towards gameplay where tanks and healers collaborate to reduce the damage the tank is taking and to restore the tank’s lost health.

Tank durability can cause some other problems as well, especially in challenging endgame content, that we want to work toward improving.

Enemy damage has increased to challenge tanks, but if it’s increased too much, it gets spiky and puts tanks in significant danger if their defenses ever drop. This can lead to tanks getting killed rapidly, seemingly out of nowhere. We feel this is unsatisfying and would prefer tank damage to generally be evenly distributed, but still threatening over time.
If tanks are not threatened enough, then the most challenging part of endgame content can become keeping DPS and healers alive, often against high burst damage. Making tank survival a more involving element of group gameplay could give us some freedom to ease up on the threat to other group members.

To address the above, we’re making reductions to tank durability and self-healing. This will allow us to smooth out the damage tanks and parties take while retaining the challenge of keeping them alive over time. We’ll take those changes into account in encounter tuning as well.

Tanks will take more damage overall, but shouldn’t die significantly more often.

To increase the overall damage tanks take and their reliance on healers, we’re primarily increasing the percentage of damage they take, after mitigation, from steady damage sources like physical attacks. We’re making fewer reductions to each class’s defenses against burst damage or other threats that are currently most likely to be lethal to them. Encounters will be tuned with this in mind so the character of tank damage changes, but the lethality of it doesn’t significantly increase.

Tank damage intake should be steady and not too fast.

One of our goals for these changes is to smooth out the rate tanks take damage to reduce surprise, spiky deaths. Healers should have time to respond to tank health and tanks should have time to use self-heals like Word of Glory or Celestial Brew. For some classes, we’re increasing their passive defenses to compensate for decreases to more active or reactive defensive mechanics. Tankbusters will still create challenging moments that reward tanks for planning and smart use of cooldowns.

Tanks will still have strong answers to threats or periods of danger, but less sustained self-healing.

Tanks should have autonomy over their own survival and will still have cooldowns or emergency self-heals like Renewal or Impending Victory. But the healing of continuous effects like Elune’s Favored or Indomitable are reduced, so tanks must have more of a partnership with healers to restore their missing health once it’s lost.

Healer gameplay should not be dominated by tank healing.

Healers play a critical role, and keeping tanks alive is part of what they bring to the table. However, healers contribute to the success of groups in many ways, especially in dungeons. They sustain the group, dispel harmful effects, and respond to burst damage, all while doing mechanics. Tank healing should not demand so much that it interferes with their other roles. It may take some iteration to get the balance right on this, where healers feel essential to tank survival but with their attention not overly demanded by it.

Tank gameplay should not significantly change or require actions like kiting to survive.

We’re happy that more players are enjoying playing tanks with their friends and in pick-up groups. There are a lot of demands on tanks, such as learning M+ routes, leading groups, and knowing what trash abilities are particularly dangerous. The gameplay of standing toe-to-toe with groups of enemies and the tactics you’ve learned to survive should continue to be effective.

Your Feedback Please!

We’re excited for you to get ahold of these changes and share your feedback on playing with them. Because there are so many factors to tanking, the most valuable feedback will be descriptions of your experiences playing with them. What does it feel like to play with the changes, and what’s different for you and your allies? Here are some questions to give you ideas of things you could share:

How durable do you feel before and after the changes? What makes you feel that difference?
In what ways did you change how you play?
How did it change your builds?
In what scenarios were you getting into trouble?
For healers, how much more of your attention went to tanks compared to before?

We’d also love it if you can share what content you played and its difficulty level (M+ key level, Delve level, Heroic vs. Mythic raid, etc.), what difficulty level you and your friends normally clear, and what your experience level is with a class you tried.

Thank you!

Class Updates

In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.

Blood Death Knight

Death Strike is a powerful ability that allows Blood Death Knights to mitigate a percentage of any form of damage taken in the last 5 seconds. In a way, Death Strike works like a retroactive shield block. Instead of reducing damage up front, it “mitigates” the damage you took from a hit by healing you. If used in succession, Death Strike can affect a single hit multiple times, which would be comparable to blocking a hit, then going back in time and blocking it again, in some cases restoring yourself to higher health than where you started. In The War Within, we’re changing Death Strike to only heal the death knight for a percentage of damage taken from a given damage event once, to make it scale more like other tank mitigation mechanics.

We’re also reducing Runic Power generation somewhat and reducing some of the mitigation death knights get from high-uptime cooldowns like Enfeeble and Dancing Rune Weapon, but increasing armor from Bone Shield. Overall, death knights should take damage more smoothly, and they will remain one of the strongest tanks for encounters with high magic or periodic damage.

Death Strike can now only heal the Death Knight for a percentage of damage taken from a given damage event once.
A new aura, Coagulating Blood, shows the amount of recently taken damage that will be used to calculate the value of your next Death Strike. The aura description lists the value as a flat amount and the number of stacks shows it as a percentage of your current health.
Blood Shield’s cap is now 50% of the Death Knight’s maximum health (was 100%) and the cap is no longer temporarily increased by Vampiric Blood.
- Developers’ notes: This should not affect how much Blood Shield Death Knights are able to generate while actively tanking, but will reduce how large a barrier they are able to accumulate while off-tanking.
Rune of the Fallen Crusader now heals for 4% of your maximum health (was 6%).
Runic Attenuation now generates 3 Runic Power (was 5).
Enfeeble reduces damage dealt to you by 12% (was 15%).
Null Magic reduces magic damage taken by 8% (was 10%).
Bone Shield increases Armor by 100% of Strength (was 80%).
Leeching Strike now heals for 0.25% maximum health for each target hit (was 0.5%).
Dancing Rune Weapon increases Parry chance by 35% (was 40%).
Each active Dancing Rune Weapons generate 3 Runic Power when mirroring Heart Strike (was 5).
Everlasting Bond increases Dancing Rune Weapon’s duration by 6 seconds (was 8 seconds).
Blood Drinker reduces the damage the enemy deals to you by 15% (was 20%).
Bonestorm heals you for 2% of your maximum health (was 3%), up to a maximum of 10% (was 15%). Bonestorm damage increased by 20%.

Vengeance Demon Hunter

Like Death Strike for Death Knights, Soul Fragments give Demon Hunters strong recovery against any type of damage, as well as strong self-healing. Because Demon Hunters consume Soul Fragments steadily, we’re not changing the rules for how often they can affect a damage event. We’re increasing Vengeance’s overall damage taken by weakening the damage reduction of talents like Void Reaver and Illuminated Sigils, while keeping the power of core abilities like Soul Fragments and Demon Spikes. They will continue to be one of the stronger tank classes at self-healing and surviving magic damage.

Live By the Glaive now restores 2% of maximum health (was 4%).
Thick Skin increases Stamina by 60% (was 65%).
Demonic Wards reduces physical and magic damage taken by 8% (was 10%).
Soul Cleave healing reduced by 20%.
Frailty heals for 8% of damage done, down from 10%.
Void Reaver reduces damage you take from targets afflicted by Frailty by 3% (was 4%)
Illuminated Sigils grants 12% Parry chance (was 15%).
Down in Flames reduces Fiery Brand cooldown by 12s, down from 15s.
Metamorphosis increases maximum health by 40% (was 50%).
Darkglare Boon now refreshes 15-30% of Fel Devastation’s cooldown (was 20-40%) and refunds 15-30 Fury (was 20-40).

Guardian Druid

With high armor and Ironfur uptime, druids should be one of the best tanks at surviving physical damage. We’re slightly increasing the damage they take from all types of damage and balancing the power of their self-healing. We’re also reducing the durations of some of their cooldowns to make timing their use more important.

Frenzied Regeneration heals you for 20% of your maximum health (was 32%).
Ironfur increases Armor by 112% of Agility (was 120%).
Renewal heals for 20% of maximum health (was 30%).
Reinvigoration reduces Frenzied Regeneration’s cooldown by 10/20% (was 20/40%).
Earthwarden reduces damage taken by 25% (was 30%).
Survival of the Fittest reduces cooldowns by 12/24% (was 15/30%)
Tooth and Claw reduces damage taken by 12% (was 15%).
After the Wildfire triggers after spending 300 Rage (was 200).
Ursoc’s Fury grants a shield equal to 25% of Thrash and Maul damage (was 45%).
Elune’s Favored heals you for 25% of Arcane damage dealt (was 40%).
Rage of the Sleeper duration reduced to 8 seconds (was 10 seconds).
Rage of the Sleeper damage taken reduction reduced to 20% (was 25%).
Rage of the Sleeper Leech decreases to 20% (was 25%).
Pulverize duration reduced to 8 seconds (was 10 seconds).
Ursoc’s Guidance reduces the cooldown of Incarnation: Guardian of Ursoc by 1 second for each 25 Rage spent (was 20).

Brewmaster Monk

Healers have more time to heal monks than other tanks because Stagger spreads out the damage that they take over time. Our goal is for monks to take a little more damage overall than other tanks to offset this effect. However, we feel their overall magic damage mitigation is a little low compared to other tanks and are improving it somewhat by buffing Stagger and its value against magic. To increase their physical damage taken overall, we’re primarily reducing the dodge granted by Elusive Brawler and some of their other talents.

Brewmaster’s Balance increases Monks’ Armor by 50% (was 25%).
Elusive Brawler chance to dodge reduced by 12%.
Celestial Fortune heals you for 70% of the amount healed (was 80%).
Amount of damage staggered increased by 8%.
Percentage of magic damage staggered increased to 58% (was 45%).
Dance of the Wind chance to dodge reduced to 5% (was 10%) for Brewmaster only.
Yu’lon’s Grace grants an absorb equal to 1% of your maximum health (was 2%) every 3 seconds (was 2 seconds).
Healing Winds restores 10% of maximum health (was 15%).
Staggering Strikes healing reduced by 28%.
Spirit of the Ox chance to summon a Healing Sphere reduced by 40%.
Elixir of Determination healing reduced to 30% of recently purified damage (was 50%), or a minimum of 8% of your maximum health (was 20%).
Celestial Brew healing reduced by 10%.
Pretense of Instability grants 10% Dodge (was 15%).

Protection Paladin

Paladins have a balance of good defenses against both physical and magical damage. They can be in danger if they lose the defensive power of standing in Consecration or if the armor bonus from Shield of the Righteous drops, so we are not reducing any of their passive physical defenses like armor or block. Like druids, paladins have high uptime on their defensive cooldowns, so we’re pulling back some of their durations to make timing their use more important. We would like paladins to have slightly more self-healing, so we are increasing the power of Word of Glory.

Shield of the Righteous increases your Armor by 150% of your Strength (was 170%).
The damage reduction effect while standing in Consecrate of Mastery: Divine Bulwark is reduced by 20%.
Sanctified Plates’ armor increase no longer applies to bonus armor from Shield of the Righteous.
Improved Holy Shield increases your chance to block spells by 8% (was 10%).
The Dusk buff from Of Dusk and Dawn reduces your damage taken by 4% (was 5%).
Word of Glory healing increased by 10%.
Sentinel’s duration reduced to 16 seconds (was 20 seconds).
Eye of Tyr’s duration reduced to 6 seconds (was 9 seconds).
Righteous Protector: Holy Power abilities reduces cooldowns by 1.5 seconds (was 2 seconds).

Protection Warrior

Warriors are the strongest tank against physical damage, though they can be vulnerable to magic or periodic damage. In this round of changes, we’re increasing their damage taken across the board by reducing the power of Defensive Stance. Warriors also have some strong heals that scale with their maximum health, like Indomitable and Impending Victory, so we are reducing the power of those abilities to compensate for the 60% increase to Stamina.

Pain and Gain now heals for 2% of your max health (was 3.5%).
Impending Victory heals you for 20% of your maximum health (was 30%).
Defensive Stance reduces damage taken by 16% (was 20%).
Fight Through the Flames causes Defensive Stance to reduce magic damage you take by 6% (was 5%).
Into the Fray increases haste up to 8% (was 10%).
Punish reduces damage enemies deal to you by 2% (was 3%).
Enduring Alacrity increases Stamina and Armor by 8% (was 10%).
Indomitable increases your maximum health by 6% (was 10%) and heals you for 1% of your maximum health per 20 Rage spent (was 10 rage).
Defender’s Aegis reduces Shield Wall’s cooldown by 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).
Impenetrable Wall causes Shield Slam to generate an additional 4 Rage (was 3) and reduces the remaining cooldown of Shield Wall by 6 seconds (was 5 seconds).
Disrupting Shout cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 75 seconds).

The War Within: Radiant Echoes Event Overview

July 13, 2024 The War Within

Quote from: Blizzard

Confront the memories of Azeroth during the new pre-expansion event and collect Residual Memories to purchase new items to add to your Warband collection.

When: July 30 – August 26
Where: Dalaran (hub), Dragonblight, Dustwallow Marsh, and Searing Gorge
Currency: Residual Memories – Half forgotten memories can be glimpsed in the light playing across this iridescent powder.
Levels: 10-70

Players with and without The War Within™ will be able to take part in this event for its duration.

Confronting Memories

Players who have reached level 70 will receive an introductory quest and then will be directed to visit Dalaran to start. Players under level 70 will be immediately directed to Dalaran.

The event occurs in four stages and cycles between three zones. Portals in Dalaran will be available to take you directly to the event staging area and a return portal is available in each of the event zones so that players can quickly return to Dalaran and head into the next occurrence of the event. When the event is active in a zone, the portal will have an additional golden glow to indicate that it is active.

During the first week of the event, zones will cycle every 90 minutes.
During the second week of the event, zones will cycle every 60 minutes.
During the third and fourth weeks of the event, zones will cycle every 30 minutes.

Stage 1

During the first stage of the event, players will need to defeat the Congealed Memories that will appear in the zone and the memories around it.

Stage 2

Defeat the radiant echoes causing havoc in the zone. There are six random events that are active within the zone that can be seen on the map (M). Event locations throughout the stages are marked by a multicolor globe.

Stage 3

You’ll be able to undertake a quest in each zone during the event that will ask for you to defeat one of the event bosses as follows:

Only Darkness: Remembered Lich King Slain (Dragonblight)
Broken Masquerade: Remembered Onyxia Slain (Dustwallow Marsh)
Champion of the Waterlords: Remembered Firelord Slain (Searing Gorge)

Please note that once the boss is defeated by players, Stage 4 will begin and the boss will no longer be available to kill for the quest completion until the event begins in the zone again. Bosses can also rarely drop additional pieces of gear.

Stage 4

In stage four, the Radiant Echoes have subsided. Players can choose to return to Dalaran or stay within the zone to slay lingering memories to continue to accrue Residual Memories. A timer within the zone the Residual Memories are still active in will count down to the next zone event. Players can return to Dalaran and take the portal to the next zone that goes active.

Rewards

Players will be able to accumulate Residual Memories to use to purchase items from various vendors in each of the zones. You can keep track of how much Residual Memories you’ve collected by opening Character Info (Hotkey- C) and the currency tab under the War Within dropdown.

Dalaran: Remembrancer Amuul in Chamber of the Guardian
Dragonblight: Echo of the Silver Hand at Wyrmrest Temple
Dustwallow Marsh: Forgotten Hero at Tabetha’s Farm
Searing Gorge: Memory of a Duke in the Iron Summit

Players who purchase the Lifeless Stone Ring will be able to collect memories throughout the three event zones to combine into essences and infuse it with power creating the Band of Radiant Echoes (item level 227) heirloom ring.

Essence of the Eastern Kingdoms
Essence of Kalimdor
Essence of Northrend

Gear will begin at item level 480 with some room for upgrades. Here’s what you can look forward to:

Item Name	Cost	Item Type/Tooltip
Lifeless Stone Ring	25 Residual Memories	Use: Infuse with the Essences of Azeroth to restore its power. “An ancient titan ring that has faded with time. Perhaps it can be restored.” Heirloom Ring
Defender’s Hefty Satchel	2000 Residual Memories	32 Slot Bag

Remembered Construct	10,000 Residual Memories	Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Remembered Riverpaw	10,000 Residual Memories	Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.

Get the Band Together for Warbands

July 13, 2024 The War Within

Quote from: Blizzard

Expand the potential of all your World of Warcraft® characters with account-wide progression across your Battle.net® account, regardless of faction—including shared Renown, a Warband bank, Achievements, Collections, and more!

Getting The Band Together

With the arrival of The War Within, upon first logging into World of Warcraft, the Warband conversion process automatically enables many of the game’s progression systems to be account-wide. Players will not need to log into each character individually for all progression, items, etc., to convert; however, there may be a short wait for the system to completely process your Warband the first time you log in. The Warband conversion process can take up to 20 minutes or longer, and depending on the amount of data being processed, there could be a login queue.

The new Warbands system is effective for all characters on a player’s Battle.net account and the items, Collections, and progression they share. It’s important to note that your Warband is limited to characters within a single region (for example, the Americas or Europe) but spans every realm, faction, and even subscription you may have within that region.

Just Hangin’ Out

When you log in to the game, you’ll see a selection of your characters on the login screen, waiting for you to choose who you will go on your next adventure with.

You can assign four characters to one scene, with more scenes planned for you to collect in the future. In addition, to make it a little easier to see who’s who in your Warband at any given moment, there’s additional information about each character during character selection.

Once in a Warband, you will no longer need to swap between realms to see characters on those realms. The one exception is if you have multiple World of Warcraft subscriptions within one Battle.net account. In this case, you will only see the characters on the account you’re logged in to, even though all your characters across subscriptions are included as a part of your Warband.

Carting Around Your Band Equipment

Share Items between your characters on a single Battle.net account in one convenient place—your Warband Bank.

The Warband Bank can be accessed by bankers throughout the game, and all characters in your Warband can access the bank to deposit and withdraw items freely. It will provide up to five tabs with ninety-eight available inventory slots each. Each tab can be purchased for an increasing amount of gold, customized with an icon, and organized like a Guild Vault. This bank is in addition to your individual character bank vault.

Any non-soulbound item can be stored in the Warband Bank. The bank will also behave like the reagent bank, allowing you to craft using reagents from it without having to withdraw them. In addition, the bank will allow you to deposit and manually withdraw gold across characters in your Warband.

Also, similar to pet battles, players who play multiple characters simultaneously on multiple World of Warcraft accounts will find that only the character that logs into the realm first will have access to the Warband Bank.

The UI and functionality of the character-level bank will be adjusted in the future, and tabs like the Warband bank will also be adjusted. Bags will no longer be needed in the character bank when this change occurs. This change won’t alter the number of slots currently available in your bank but will shift them from bags to tabs.

Warbanding Together for Better Banking

Completing the“Warbanding Together” storyline quests in and around Gadgetzan will get you access to heaps of storage for your Warband. You will be rewarded the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor spell after finishing up. This spell allows you to summon a personal portal directly to your Warband Bank, where you can make withdrawals and deposits for 10 minutes (4hr Cooldown).

“Now that we’ve got all the transpositional data we could ever for, all we need to do is set up a wormhole in a suitable banking establishment, and we’ll be dropping gear into each other’s pockets from the field in no time!”

Sharing is Caring. Friend!

While gear is one of the primary forms of character-specific progression in World of Warcraft, Warbands makes managing and collecting them more convenient and alternate character-friendly.

Warbound until Equipped

Warbound until Equipped (WuE) is a new type of gear. Gear that is WuE can be freely traded across your Warband but becomes Soulbound once it’s equipped by a character.

WuE gear will be available within Raids, Dungeons, and Delves. Whenever you earn loot, you will have a slight bonus chance to gain an additional piece of WuE gear as personal loot. This gear will be at least one lower tier than other loot from that source (currently a whole upgrade track lower (e.g., Hero-> Champion), and it could be gear usable by any class.

Also, simply playing the game can occasionally earn you a single-tier gear lower than your current gear. Consider sending it to help an alternate character or take a chance and try a new class you’ve been meaning to try.

Enhancing Your Transmog Collection

To help players continue expanding their collections and style their alternate characters how they want, any character can collect any item appearance, regardless of whether they can equip the item. Class-specific appearances are an exception and will still be collectible only by that specific class.

It’s important to note that these changes only affect your ability to collect appearances. Existing rules on which characters can use any given appearance are not changing (e.g., a Priest getting a plate helm drop will unlock the appearance for your plate-wearing characters, even though they cannot use plate appearances themselves). You can view appearances on any character of any class or race within the appearances UI.

It’s also easier to collect appearances from unbound items. You will no longer need to equip the item to add it to your collection. Any time an item is destroyed via disenchanting, deleting, selling, etc., you will automatically collect the appearance. You can also collect the appearance from Bind on Equip (BoE) gear by converting it to “Warbound until Equipped” instead.

Existing gear in your character-level bank or bag inventory will be automatically added to your Transmog collection when you first log into that character.

Any gear that drops with a transmog appearance you haven’t collected yet will have the Transmog option to roll for it rather than the Greed option (Transmog has higher priority). This system will expand to allow players on one character to add class-specific items they can’t equip to their Transmog collection. It will allow a player on a mage character to collect a warrior item and add it to the Transmog collection for use on a warrior character instead.

When rolling for Transmog, any gear that drops that can be equipped by your current character will get a higher rolling priority than those rolling with characters who cannot equip the item (e.g., a priest will always beat a warrior when both roll Transmog on a piece of cloth gear).

Warband-Wide Reputation

When you have a Warband reputation, any progress made on one character will be shared with all your characters. Rewards will also be unlocked for all characters, although the form this takes will vary per reward. Warband-wide rewards will be granted only once, while some rewards will remain character-specific and need to be collected on each character.

Once a reputation is converted to Warband-wide, reputation progress will display as the furthest any character in your account has achieved. For example, if you were at Renown 5 for Valdrakken Accord on one character and Renown 10 on another, your new Warband Valdrakken Accord Renown will be 10.

Several reputations will not be converted for various reasons. Like the Winterpelt Furbolg and Glimmerogg Racer, due to not fitting within the fantasy for those reputations—Winterpelt Furbolg has a language learning component that doesn’t make sense to be shared across characters, and the Glimmerrogg Racer reputation is more of a personal standing in the snail races. These are also minor reputations that are not as impactful Warband-wide.

Additionally, converting reputations in previous expansions will take some time to implement, so it will happen over time. A limited number won’t be converted; for example, Aldor and Scryer in the Burning Crusade and the Covenants in Shadowlands won’t be converted because they represent per-character choices.

First-Time Quest Rewards

Players can earn a bonus quest reward for any quest completed for the first time on their Warband. An additional, unique bonus will be granted for completing a quest additional times.

Quests will only deliver Reputation as a first-time completion bonus. On additional completions of the same quest on alts, players will earn a bonus reward currency similar to Dragon Isles Supplies instead of Reputation. This currency will be freely transferable across the Warband and can be used to purchase various Warband-level rewards such as cosmetics, mounts, and pets.

This allows you to complete quests for any character you want without impacting your Reputation or progress. Whichever character completes them first will earn the Reputation for your Warband.

Achieving Greatness

With Warbands, all achievements are considered “Warband”. A total Warband achievement score will be tracked and displayed, and this score will be the sum of all account-wide achievement points plus the points from any character-specific achievements completed on any character.

Many achievements have become account-wide—approximately 2000 across all expansions, with a few rare exceptions. Specifically for achievements, doing the activity on one character is part of what makes it hard or interesting, such as Insane in the Membrane, since the hard part of this achievement is maxing out diametrically opposed reputations.

In addition, any achievements that would not benefit from shared progression across characters, such as Memories of Teldrassil, will be left character-specific so you can see what cool things you have done on specific characters. This will not impact your achievement score, rewards, or ability to complete achievements.

Most of the rewards granted by achievements are Warband-wide. In many cases, the reward will span across the entire Warband, such as for most titles. In other cases, the whole achievement will be converted, and its reward will be account-wide. For example, dungeon teleports earned by Keystone Hero achievements will become account-wide, both in the achievement and the reward.

The primary exception to Warband-wide rewards is those intrinsically per character, such as Dreaming of Wyrms.

Another exception is achievements celebrating highly prestigious accomplishments on a specific character, like the Gladiator: Dragonflight Season 3 achievement, whose title and progress will remain character-specific.

For most achievements, we are adding your progress across all your characters. For example, if you have done 200 personal crafting orders on each of three different characters, the Personal Crafter achievement will immediately be completed upon login.

There are a few achievements where it only makes sense to take the highest value across your characters, such as the Reach Level 70 achievement. In most cases, these are not converted as there is no benefit. We will use the highest value you have reached on any character for the exceptions where there are.

Map Exploration

For those who may not be as interested in re-exploring every map on all your characters, we are adding The Warband Map to Everywhere All At Once toy that will reveal all maps of regions fully explored by a member of your Warband. Have two max-level characters and this map can be yours!

Share the Wealth

To help avoid confusion over spending the wrong currency on the wrong character, the currency is not fully Warband-wide; instead, it can be transferred between individual characters in your Warband. So, instead of relying on buying a unique item and mailing it to an alt, you can directly transfer any shareable currency from other characters to the one you are currently playing within the currency User Interface (UI).

Currencies intended to purchase Warband-wide items such as cosmetics, pets, and mounts will usually be completely free to transfer between members of your Warband.

In cases where a currency is earned on a character with the intent that the character will be the primary user of the currency, but an excess needs to be moved to an alternate character, there will be a slight loss in the transfer of that currency, specifically for older currencies where this value loss was accomplished via an item purchase, such as Cosmic Flux from Shadowlands.

Adjustments will be made to older currencies, and Warband transfer will be enabled on many where appropriate.

Note that there will still be many currencies that will remain non-transferable because they represent important character-based progression. Two examples of these are the Crest and Flightstone equivalents in The War Within.

Shared Flight Points for Your Warband

Flight points will also be account-wide. For standard flight points you have yet to learn, you will only have to collect these on one character, and they will be unlocked across your Warband. Flight points that have already been collected on any character across your account will be unlocked for your Warband.

Get out there and expand your troupe of brave defenders of Azeroth. Happy alting!

Mythic+ Affix Updates

Quote from: Blizzard

Greetings, dungeoneers!

Thank you all for your feedback on our new Mythic+ affix system. As we continue to review community responses for future adjustments, we’ve made updates in this week’s Beta.

New Affix

Continuing with the theme of Xal’atath’s Bargain, where players can harness powerful boons granted to dungeon enemies by the Harbinger, we’re adding a new affix to our Beta testing this week.

Xal’atath’s Bargain: Voidbound

While in combat, Xal’atath summons Void Emissary to empower nearby enemies, gradually increasing their damage. Upon defeating the Void Emissary, players harness the void energy for themselves, increasing their critical chance by 20% for 20 seconds.

Affix Adjustments

Xal’atath’s Bargain: Ascendant

We’ve seen a lot of feedback regarding the visual noise caused by the number of orbs being created. To address this issue, we’re reducing the total number of Orb of Ascendance from 20 to 10.

Xal’atath’s Bargain: Frenzied

We’ve heard feedback that this affix feels less visible compared to Ascendant, and is more punishing due to its passive nature without too much counterplay. It’s also less thematic compared to Ascendant where Xal’atath is present throughout the dungeon. With these considerations, we’re removing this affix from Beta testing.

With the Xal’atath’s Bargain affixes, we want to create varied challenges that highlight different class skills and utilities in ways that do not feel exclusionary. We look forward to your feedback and discussions on these changes.

We’ll see you in dungeons!

Delves Updates

Quote from: Blizzard

Hello everyone! We’d like to share some updates for you on Delves.

Tuning and Experience

Across the board we’ve increased the XP rewards from delves during level up as they felt a bit too low.

We’ve also done a general tuning pass across all tiers and will continue to monitor difficulty for all specs and classes. From your feedback and from our testing we saw that delves became particularly punishing throughout level up, and that many specs felt like they had to be several item levels higher than the recommended item level to survive.

We’re continuing to review the tuning for classes that are struggling in delves. We’ve seen your feedback on which classes are having a hard time. We also have our own data that shows performance in each delve by class and spec. We’ll be using your feedback and our data points to help improve the experience for players that are struggling. Keep it coming and we’ll keep you updated!

Bountiful Delves

We are in the middle of reviewing how we want bountiful delves to work at max level. Here’s what we’ll be rolling out:

Bountiful Delves will be consumed upon completion.
Bountiful Delves base chests are upgraded in quality.
Locked chests are still there, but will go away if you lose all of your lives.

Our goal with Bountiful Delves being consumed is to encourage players to see more delves and their variants. We’re modifying how many keys players can get per week while also increasing the base rewards from Bountiful Delves so they’re still worth running even without any keys.

We’re still working on balancing these numbers so please give us feedback as these new systems come online!

Brann Bronzebeard

We’re continuing to do work to tweak Brann and improve the experience with him and understanding what he’s doing from the moment to moment gameplay. These will be rolled out throughout upcoming patches.

Moved several of Brann’s “big” abilities to be unlocked at earlier levels.
Modified the number of abilities Brann has to be more readable
Brann’s “ultimate” abilities will now go on a rotation with each other to ensure he consistently uses them throughout combat. This means Brann’s use of his bigger abilities will be more focused and spread out to avoid a situation where it feels like Brann isn’t doing anything.
Dwarven Medicine will now heal player pets.
We’re aware of an issue of curios and Brann’s levels being reset and are looking into the root cause of this.

General

Player class cooldowns will now reset after wiping to a boss encounter.

Tak-Rethan Abyss and The Sinkhole

The Aquatic Hex will no longer apply slowfall.

The Dread Pit

The Skardyn Lure for one of the variants will now pull skardyn even if they’re in combat. Other parts of this mechanic have also been tweaked.
Removed the nerubian web spreaders from the skardyn variant.

Skittering Breach

Moved the web spreaders to be within the cave system of the delve to give our other mechanics some breathing room.

Healing Updates in The War Within

Quote from: Blizzard

Hello, healers of Azeroth.

In today’s new Beta build, we’re making some significant changes to healing that we’ve outlined in the development notes. Health pools are increasing (relative to their Dragonflight values), which has changed how it feels to heal other players in a variety of content.

Most notably, we’re reducing the strength of percentage-based healing spells to keep them in-line with their intended power, and we’re increasing the effectiveness of hybrid healing and single target heals to ensure they remain an effective means of defensive power.

We hope with these adjustments that healing doesn’t become any easier or harder. We intend to shift some of the challenging moments from overwhelming bursty damage to a more sustained healing profile.

Dragonflight Season 4 Ending Soon

July 10, 2024 Dragonflight

Quote from: Blizzard

Hello Champions of the Alliance and Horde!

Let it be known that Dragonflight Season 4 will close soon. Players who make a big push to end the season will want to get started on their final weeks of efforts.

When Season 4 ends, it will no longer be possible to earn PvP seasonal rewards, titles, or Dragonflight Season 4 rankings.
For a time after the end of Season 4, most Mythic+ achievements and rewards will remain earnable.

We will let you know exact dates and times for the end of Season 4 and the beginning of The War Within Season 1 as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on our official news site for that and all other news about WoW.

Wishing you the best of luck battling to a glorious finish!

Weekly Cache Rewards in The War Within

July 9, 2024 The War Within

Quote from: Blizzard

Hey folks!

In this week’s new beta build, you’ll see that weekly caches like the Pinnacle Cache have text indicating that they give Adventurer gear when previously they rewarded Veteran gear. We want to let you know how these caches are going to work.

The first two caches you earn each week from any source (Earthen Theater, Awakening the Machine, Spreading the Light, Azj-Kahet Pacts, Special Assignment World Quests, and the major weekly quests in Dornogal) will give you a piece of random gear. Caches that work this way have text telling you that they work this way. If it’s one of those first two caches earned that week, and The War Within Season 1 hasn’t yet begun, the cache will contain Adventurer gear. Once Season 1 begins, that gear will be Veteran gear, and the text will be updated to reflect that. We don’t want anyone to worry that outdoor players aren’t going to have regular sources of Veteran gear, but we also don’t want anyone to feel a need to play content they don’t want to play just to start the season with as many Veteran pieces as possible.

The first four caches you earn each week from any source (same list as above) will give you 100 Coffer Key Fragments, which can be immediately combined to get a Coffer Key for use in Bountiful Delves. For the sake of brevity, there isn’t text explaining this on the cache items, but if the text mentions the first two having gear, this rule will apply as well. This “first four” rule isn’t in this week’s build, but you should see it in the next one.

Please note that the contents of each cache are determined when you get the cache awarded to you, not when you open the cache. There’s no reason to hold onto them and open them later. That’s no fun anyway. Open your prize!

Philosophically, this is a shift from Dragonflight. In Dragonflight, the game asked you to complete specific quests (earn 1500 reputation, plant 5 seeds, complete a Superbloom, etc.) to get Veteran gear from outdoor content. That was good—making sure outdoor players have access to that level of gear is definitely a positive—but we think The War Within can do better by not requiring specific activities. Instead, you’ll be able to complete your choice of two of six activities to maximize the Veteran gear earned. To maximize your Coffer Keys as well, you’ll need to complete two more, but again, you get to choose which ones you like. If there’s a zone you don’t like or an activity you don’t enjoy, we don’t want you to feel like you’re going to be left behind for not doing it. Outdoor activities in The War Within are meant to be approached on your own terms based on your own preferences.

We’re excited for y’all get to enjoy what we’re cooking. So soon now!
