wow Horrific Visions Research: All Talents Detailed

[Stan 5,020]

Today we're looking at the research tree for Horrific Visions coming in Patch 8.3.

Horrific Visions are a new feature of Patch 8.3 where you visit alternate realities of Orgrimmar and Stormwind, where N'Zoth was victorious, and your goal is to complete as many side objectives as possible to earn better rewards before defeating the mini-boss.

Horrific Visions are revolving around a resource calls Sanity, which must be maintained at a reasonable level, because you will be automatically teleported outside of the Horrific Vision when it reaches zero.

To help us with that, we've got a new Legendary Cloak from Wrathion which comes with a protection against Sanity-draining effect (Blacktalon's Experimental Protection) and a Titanic Research Archive which gradually trivializes Horrific Visions and allows you to delve deeper into these visions on successive visits.

You will earn Corrupted Mementos in these visions which will be analyzed by MOTHER to strengthen your defenses against his corruption. You can then use them as a resource for talent research.

Titanic Research Tree

The tree was shown briefly during the Visions of N'Zoth Content Preview and has five tiers of research.

Titan Research Archive

We datamined the following talents associated with Horrific Visions. Some of them have the [NYI] tag which means they haven't been implemented yet. It seems you will be able to focus your research on single or group play.

I can already hear Wayne June speaking metaphors in the background when that triggers.

What I seemed to miss so far is the reward system of the new "mage tower", that is more chromie-scenario then mage tower imo? I don't see much point in doing so if I just upgrade the legendary cloak for the last phase of the addon? In legion the legendaries were frustrating from the start at least x-(.

Like is there something that stays in this BFA-Addon? My guess is Azerite goes, Essences go (why unlock rank4 essences then?).

Well from the youtube vids and Blizzard commentary we are suppose to get other rewards from doing these but the reward list has not been revealed in full depth.

I too hate when they try to give us content. It's a seemingly fun bit of side content that we haven't fully seen yet and for all we've seen, is completely optional.

It's going to help even outside of scenarios. Those scenarios are one of major features of this patch, so I wouldn't really call them optional. And we're getting more time-gating in form of research. Can't say I'm fond of that.

There's a vendor on PTR in the Chamber selling gear for the items you get at the end of your Horrific Vision runs.

I know that. What I mean is more like the artifact appearances. They were for so many classes great. They stick around in BFA and all coming addons probably. They took artifact abilities from us. They will take essences from us completely as far as it appears for me at least (so I still don't understand the rank4 essence visuals).

So since this is the last content chunk probably, I am just wondering why they dont make something similar to the successes  of legion. I think BFA is just a way worse legion so far. By far.
