Patch 7.3 PTR Dev Notes: Build 24500

Recommended Posts

Ntvm067.jpg

The testing in the second 7.3 PTR Build focuses on the first Argus zone, where a new chapter of the story was added with a batch of new World Quests. Tier 21 set bonuses are here, but everything is subject to change given the nature of testing. 

Next week, Blizzard plans to open Mc'Aree and the Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon. For more information, don't forget to visit our Patch 7.3 Argus Hub.

This week’s PTR update fleshes out the first Argus zone a little more, with an additional story chapter, a few side quests, and the first batch of world quests. Most of the first zone’s core content should be accessible at this point.

You’ll also probably see some initial work for Tier 21 set bonuses in this build. These are still very much a work-in-progress, and the numbers in particular won’t make much sense, but you should be able to at least get an idea of what we’re considering for these bonuses. Just please keep in mind, as you saw with Tier 20 bonuses, that there are likely to be many changes down the line as development continues.

Next week, we’re planning to open up Argus’ second zone, as well as the Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon, for testing.

      Blizzard went into upcoming changes to Mistweaver Monks for 10.2, as they address player feedback and present what their plans for the spec are. They dive into the new tier set, Expel Harm specifically, as well as passive defensives foe the spec.

      Hello Mistweavers!
      We have a few updates planned for Guardians of the Dream and we’d like to share some of our thoughts here.
      Defensiveness and Healing Elixir Updates
      Mistweaver is squishier than we would like, particularly for a primarily melee-based healer, and its defensive toolkit is based mainly around active spell use. We don’t feel it’s appropriate to ask Mistweavers to actively manage nearly every part of their defensive kit to play at the highest level, so we want to explore passivity for Healing Elixir.
      We also agree there is room for improvement with the current updated passive design and players can expect updates in upcoming PTR builds that are intended to provide value while the low health effect is not needed.
      This passive update also gives us room to make modifications without straining key binding space to a certain personal defensive element of Mistweaver’s toolkit that is currently out of use – namely Expel Harm.
      Expel Harm
      Several changes to Expel Harm have been made to increase its viability for Mistweaver and fully integrate it into the kit. This isn’t an off-global option like Healing Elixir was, so it can instead be much more impactful while reducing the total APM required to play Mistweaver optimally in tense moments. This is a bit of a trade off, but we’re hoping the overall feel is like Healing Elixir but punchier. Additionally, the Soothing Mist functionality for Expel Harm will be removed to avoid having to tune around healing allies.
      We also think this may help the class talent tree feel more satisfying to path through, as Expel Harm talents will be more of an enticing option. Hopefully these updates in totality will help Mistweaver defensively while making it more satisfying and approachable.
      Guardians of the Dream Tier Set
      We’re aware of several functionality issues including some healing spells not being counted towards its accumulation. All healing (aside from other accumulators such as Chi Harmony itself and Lesson of Anger) is intended to contribute to the final healing. We’re looking to address this in future PTR builds.
      Thank you and we look forward to your continued feedback!

      Items will have tooltips that indicate from which season they are in Patch 10.2.
      For example the following Kinslayer's Vest now shows the item is from Dragonflight Season 2 with an Upgrade Level: Champion 3/8, as you can see below.

      The Ember Court will be available every day instead of once per week in Patch 10.2.
      A small change in the garrtalent database entry suggests the Ember Court from Shadowlands will be available daily as opposed to once per week in the forthcoming update.

      Crimson Glimmerfur is a new mount coming to the Trading Post in Patch 10.2!
      The fox mount mentions Great Father Winter, so we assume it will be available before December.

      "One of Great Father Winter's favorite creatures."

      We're looking at a new cosmetic tabard added in Patch 10.2 which is a recolor of the legendary Tabard of the Lightbringer from Icecrown Citadel!
      Tabard of the Tyr's Guard is a new tint of the Tabard of the Lightbringer added in Patch 10.2. We currently do not know where to get it, but it will most likely come from the Trading Post.
