Check out new Warlords of Draenor zone previews!

This week in Warcraft sees the return of the Gaze of the Black Prince buff, a welcome boost which should help players finish off their Legendary Cloak questline! Blizzard has published some new previews of Warlords of Draenor zones, including additional information about Gorgrond, Talador and the PVP zone of Ashran! They've also made a few changes to the Warlords of Draenor Beta patch notes, with some additional changes to Death Knight and Hunter abilities. It's been a relatively quiet week but Blizzard has been happy to show off even more Warlords of Draenor with a new entry in their "Beasts of the Savage Lands" blog series, this time spotlighting Shadowmoon Valley! Those Podlings don't look like they can be trusted! Check out this week's Warcraft recap!

Warlords of Draenor Beta Patch Notes Updated


The Warlords of Draenor Beta patch notes have seen another small update, with some class changes for Hunters and Death Knights. Notable changes include:
  • Death Knight's Rune Tap ability has been redesigned, and now reduces all damage taken by 50% for 3 seconds (rather than granting an absorption shield).
  • Death Knight's Will of the Necropolis ability has been redesigned and now grants a free Rune Tap when you take damage that reduces you below 30% health.
  • Hunter's Survivalist passive now increases Hunter's chance to Multistrike by 10%.
  • Hunter's Chimaera Shot no longer heals the hunter, but now is a two-headed shot that hits two targets with Frost or Nature damage.
As always, our friends at MMO-Champion have posted a patch notes excerpt which includes only the changed/updated notes, while the full updated patch notes are available on the World of Warcraft website.

Warlords of Draenor Zone Preview: Gorgrond and Talador


Blizzard has posted two new zone preview blogs spotlighting the zones of Gorgrond and Talador! The fierce Gorgrond is home to the Blackrock Foundary and is considered the industrial heart of Grommash's Iron Horde. Blizzard's preview of Gorgrond did not include any screenshots, but our friends at MMO-Champion have got that covered, providing an excellent gallery showing off the diverse regions of the zone! The zone of Talador (which is present-day Terokkar Forest) features two major draenei landmarks in their original forms, the capital city of Shattrath and the Auchindoun burial ground. These monuments are stunning in their original forms, but are threatened by the Iron Horde as well as a corrupt sect of draenei known as the Sargerai, in service of the Shadow Council and Gul'dan. Be sure to check out these great previews of two upcoming Draenor zones!

Beasts of the Savage Lands - Shadowmoon Valley


Blizzard have posted another entry in their Beast of the Savage Lands series, which spotlights new creatures found in the regions of Draenor! Blizzard's most recent entry spotlights the beasts of Shadowmoon Valley, including the mighty Riverbeasts, mischievous Podlings, majestic Elekk and the Draenor Ancients! In case you missed it, the last blog introduced the beasts found in Frostfire Ridge. The continent of Draenor is rich and full of a large variety of never-before-seen species, so these previews are only a small sample of what players can expect to see in Draenor!

Blizzard's Ashran PVP Preview


Blizzard has posted a preview of the upcoming world PVP zone of Ashran, including insight into just how it will "work" in Warlords of Draenor. This zone will serve as the source of massive 100 versus 100 battles and provide quests, creatures and players to fight. If you're looking to get into serious PVP in Warlords of Draenor, we recommend checking out the "Crowd Control and Dimishing Returns" category of the Warlords of Draenor Beta Patch Notes. Blizzard CM Lore has made a post of the different categories of Diminishing Returns and what spells will fall into each category.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 20
      This week's affixes are: Tyrannical, Afflicted, and Bolstering.
      Healer Tier List
      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk A-Tier: Restoration Druid Discipline Priest Holy Priest B-Tier: Restoration Shaman Preservation Evoker C-Tier: Holy Paladin
