These special edition pets feature matching colors of the Ukrainian flag. Sunny will occasionally chase her tail or take a nap in between adventures. Flurky the baby murloc carries a sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine, and leaves a colorful flower trail wherever he toddles by your side.

In addition to the Pet Pack for Ukraine program, players will also have the option to donate to BlueCheck Ukraine via Battle.net when making any digital World of Warcraft purchase at checkout.

About BlueCheck Ukraine

BlueCheck Ukraine, co-founded by actor and activist Liev Schreiber, was launched by a collective of humanitarian crisis response experts whose mission is to quickly identify, vet, and support grassroots Ukrainian aid organizations that provide critical life-saving and humanitarian work on the ground. The organization fast-tracks urgent financial funds to partners who deliver medical care and rehabilitate damaged health facilities, evacuate and care for orphans and children with special needs, provide food, water, and shelter for people driven from their homes, take care of senior citizens, and quickly respond to many more urgent needs of Ukrainians affected by the war.

*Pet Pack for Ukraine is available from the Battle.net® Shop until 29 August 2023, 18:00 BST (17:00 GMT). These versions of pets are special editions available as a part of this initiative only.
**From 25 July to 29 August 2023, Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% of the purchase price of each “Pet Pack for Ukraine,” to BlueCheck, less any chargebacks, refunds, and Value Added Taxes (VAT), or other similar taxes paid.

  • Mage
    • Master Shepherd increases Versatility by 12% (was 6%).
    • Arcane
    • Developers’ notes: The high-end burst damage of Arcane Mage was reduced with the release of Fractures in Time, so we’re increasing the damage of Arcanosphere, as we’d like it to be a more threatening piece of Arcane’s toolkit. We’re also increasing the baseline damage of a few rotational spells, as Arcane’s overall damage has been lower than we would like, and Nether Tempest has not felt like a competitive spell in PvP.
      • Arcanosphere damage increased by 25%.
      • Arcane Missiles damage increased by 12% in PvP Combat (was 5%).
      • Arcane Orb damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat.

    • Frost
    • Developers’ notes: We would like Ray of Frost to remain a threatening cast, but still feel it’s slightly more lethal than we’d like. Frostbolt’s damage has fallen behind other options, so we’re increasing its damage to reward casting. Snowdrift’s activation has felt a little too difficult for the amount of risk involved, so we’re reducing the time to trigger the stun effect.
      • Cryopathy is now 50% effective in PvP Combat (was 60%).
      • Frostbolt damage increased by 150% in PvP Combat (was 100%).

  • Monk
    • Yu’lon’s Grace effectiveness reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
    • Windwalker
    • Developers’ notes: Windwalker Monk’s damage profile is more bursty than we would like, so we are moving more of its damage into base rotational spells.

      • Serenity now increases damage and healing by 10% in PvP Combat (was 15%).

      • When gaining the Ascendance effect, Lava Burst will no longer automatically be cast on a player target affected by crowd control that breaks from damage.
    • Enhancement
    • Developers’ notes: We feel the backlash damage from Flame Shock has not been sufficiently high as to make the decision to dispel it compelling.
      • Control of Lava damage increased by 40%.
    • Restoration
      • Now regenerates 700 mana per second at max level in PvP Combat (was 800).
  • Warlock
    • Abyss Walker is now 100% more effective in PvP combat.

  • Warrior
    • Slam damage is now increased by 85% in PvP Combat (was 48%).
    • Arms
    • Developers’ notes: We’re increasing the damage of Bladestorm baseline and removing some power from the Unhinged talent, as its damage could be unpredictable for both the Warrior and their enemies. We’re also increasing the damage of Overpower to increase Arm Warrior’s consistent pressure.
      • Overpower damage is now increased by 30% in PvP Combat (was 20%).
      • Bladestorm damage increased by 40% in PvP Combat.
      • Mortal Strike damage increased by 10% in PvP Combat.
      • Mortal Strikes from the Unhinged talent are now cast at 60% effectiveness.

      • Execute damage is now increased by 25% in PvP Combat (was 10%).
      • Onslaught damage increased by 15% in PvP Combat.

Events

  • Little Scales Daycare
    • Fixed an issue where certain quests were repeatable, rather than daily, as intended.
  • Secrets of Naxxramas
    • Developers’ note: We’ve seen feedback that the rewards from Dented Raider tokens are often underwhelming, and agree that there is room for improvement.

    • The drop rates for Phylacterweave and Lamented Crusader items have been slightly increased.

      • Breath of Eons can no longer proc the Fate Mirror effect.
  • Mage [With weekly restarts]
    • Developers’ notes: Mage AoE damage is generally trending a little higher than we’re comfortable with after the most recent update. We’re planning to make a few targeted adjustments to Mage AoE spells to bring them down to a more reasonable level. In addition to the AoE adjustments, Fire will be seeing some additional tuning, as Fire single-target damage is also trending higher than intended.

      • Arcane Barrage damage increased by 3%.
      • Resonance increases the damage per target hit by Arcane Barrage by 10% (was 12%).

      • Comet Storm damage reduced by 5%.
      • Subzero damage to rooted and frozen targets reduced to 5/10%.
  • Paladin [With weekly restarts]
    • Developers’ notes: Holy Paladin is overperforming in all content in Fractures of Time. We are targeting a global decrease of healing and damage as we are not looking to change preferred playstyles, but Tyr’s Deliverance will also be receiving additional adjustments as this talent in particular has been more effective than we would like.

      • All healing decreased by 8%.
      • All damage decreased by 12%.
      • Tyr’s Deliverance healing decreased by 15%.

  • Echoing Tyrstone no longer targets pets.
    • Developers’ notes: We’ve made this change as we’ve seen this trinket performing strongly in raids to the point of competing with major class cooldowns, but its performance overall is varied based largely on how many people are with the healer. We’re hoping that this change to its functionality will help stabilize its performance in both dungeons and raids so that it doesn’t under, or over perform as much as it currently does.
  • Fixed a bug causing Quantum transmog items to reward Dracthyr cloth transmog instead of mail.

 

Player versus Player

  • Resolved an issue that could prevent the Farm base status icon status from updating correctly in Deepwind Gorge.

Patch 10.1.7 PTR Development Notes 18 July 2023

Quote from: Blizzard

Hello everyone. Here are this week’s changes to the Fury Incarnate PTR:

DRAGONRIDING

  • CHALLENGE COURSE
    • As you adventure across the Dragon Isles, test your dragonriding race skills with the new Challenge Course. How well can you fare without resource generation?
    • New Challenge Courses in each zone will unlock weekly, first in the Waking Shores, then Ohn’ahran Plains, the Azure Span, Thaldraszus, the Forbidden Reach, and finally Zaralek Cavern. Once unlocked, each set of courses will remain permanently available.
      • Developers note: Challenge courses are now available in the Waking Shores and Ohn’ahran Plains.

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

  • DEMON HUNTER
    • Vengeance
      • Illidan’s Grasp has been redesigned – You strangle the target with demonic magic, stunning them in place and dealing Shadow damage over 5 seconds while the target is grasped. Can move while channeling. Use Illidan’s Grasp again to toss the target to a location within 40 yards, stunning them and all nearby enemies for 3 seconds and dealing Shadow damage.
        • Developers’ note: We’ve updated Illidan’s Grasp to now cancel its channel when other actions are taken and instead deal periodic damage for its duration. We feel this better matches gameplay expectations and is easier to understand.

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY

  • REAL TIME CHAT MODERATION
    • Whispers that may contain harassing chat sent from a player you are not friends with will now be hidden. You will be prompted with a warning message asking if you’d like to see it anyway. If the whisper is revealed, there will be a Report Player option directly in the message so the offending player can be reported easily. This feature can be found in Options > Social > Censor Messages.
  • Increased Party Lead icon size in Dungeon and Raid queue prompts.
