Blizzard has added a new Mythic Keystone Affix called Shielding in this week's Patch 10.1 PTR update.

The WoW team outlined this week's Mythic+ changes on the 10.1 PTR, but the blue post is missing a new affix that surprisingly appeared in the latest build. What do we know about Shielding?

It makes enemies summon orbs that will shield nearby enemies if they're not destroyed.

Shielding Shielding - While in combat, enemies periodically summon Shielding Orbs that shield nearby enemies if not destroyed.

The new affix is currently available for testing on the 10.1 PTR!

Shielding Orbs? better version of Explosive Orbs probably.

I like this a lot, actually. This makes them truly a dps responsibility and the penalty is one the dps will see when the mobs shield. About time more of these affixes get moved away from tanks and healers.

Well technically they should be group affixes, and ppl quit relegating them to one role. I never let healers do explosive alone. The dungeons a group effort as should the affixes be!

Everything will be a healer affix until the timer goes away and "more dps" isn't the answer to everything.. No efficient group will make their dps do a mechanic over the tank or healer.

      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 3
      By Stan
      The third week of Dragonflight Season 3 is upon us and here is the current Mythic+ tier list.
      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 3
      This week's affixes are: Fortified, Volcanic, Spiteful.
      Healer Tier List
      We've got a bit of a shake-up in the healer department. Mistweaver Monk is now the only spec in the S-Tier (up from A-Tier) and Discipline Priest is down to A-Tier. Restoration Shaman went up by one tier, and more.
      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk (up from A-Tier) A-Tier: Discipline Priest (down from S-Tier) Restoration Shaman (up from B-Tier) Holy Paladin B-Tier: Holy Priest (down from A-Tier) Preservation Evoker C-Tier: Restoration Druid

      Unfortunately, there are no changes in the tank tier list this week.
      S-Tier: Vengeance Demon Hunter A-Tier: Blood Death Knight Protection Paladin B-Tier: Brewmaster Monk Guardian Druid Protection Warrior
      DPS Tier List
      Arms Warrior and Arcane Mage are down to B-Tier this week. Elemental Shaman is up in B-Tier and Frost Death Knight is down to C-Tier this week.

      Amirdrassil a Proper Zone in Patch 10.2.5
      By Stan
      Amirdrassil has been added to the Dragon Isles and world map as a proper zone in Patch 10.2.5.
      Currently on live servers you must defeat Fyrakk to see Amirdrassil without having to visit the Emerald Dream. However, the zone will be available to everyone regardless of whether or not you've downed Fyrakk in Patch 10.2.5.
      Here is the updated world map in Patch 10.2.5.

      As you can see, the Dragon Isles outline now includes Amirdrassil.

      The Dragon Isles continent map has also been updated to include Amirdrassil.

      Finally, here's the new zone map. It's basically the central portion of the Emerald Dream map. Emerald Dream's still accessible through the Ancient Bough portal.

      Detailed Zone Exploration of New Night Elf Capital City of Bel'ameth in Patch 10.2.5
      By Stan
      Here's a detailed preview of Bel'ameth, the new Night Elf capital coming in Patch 10.2.5.
      Obviously, this week's 10.2.5 PTR build only brought the very first unfinished iteration of the Night Elf city, but we can already see some familiar names of NPCs from Teldrassil.
      You can watch MrGM's latest video to explore the new city in more detail.

      By Staff

      Blizzard is increasing the frequency at which you gain Renascent charges in Patch 10.2.5. You will receive 1 charge automatically every week instead of every two weeks.

      REVIVAL CATALYST Renascent Dream charges are now granted weekly (was every other week).
