Alpha Build Notes 21/04

Hey all,

 

We have another alpha build going up today. This build includes a variety of revisions and bugfixes all around.

 

Notable changes focused on classes:

• New Zone: Suramar!
  • This zone is now open and ready for testing. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
• New Dungeon: Court of Stars!
  • This dungeon is now open and ready for testing. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
• Class Status – We’ve made many iterations based on feedback and testing. Here are some highlights:
  • Blood Death Knights – Significant revision to core rotation and many talents, to create better gameplay.
  • Windwalker Monks – Further Storm, Earth, and Fire revisions to allow it to become the primary DPS cooldown.
  • All Monks – Healing Elixirs revised to allow active use if desired.
  • Retribution Paladins – Revisions to level 100 talents to make them more competitive.
  • Balance Druids – Stellar Flare revised to simplify its use.

  • Restoration Shamans – Unleash Life returned as a talent.
  • All Priests – Masochism and Desperate Prayer revised to be more competitive.

  • Havoc Demon Hunters – Imprison revised.
  • Outlaw Rogues – Thick as Thieves replaced Tricks of the Trade.
  • Warlocks – Casting Circle and Essence Drain added.
• Artifact Trait Status – Nearly all traits are implemented at this point; only a few remain non-functional, or to-be-redesigned. (Tuning is still yet to come, of course.)
  • Havoc Demon Hunters – Fury of the Illidari revised.
  • Restoration Shamans – Gift of the Queen revised.
  • Windwalker Monks – Strike of the Windlord revised.
  • All remaining temporary talents have been replaced.
