While adventurers breach Neltharion’s secret laboratory in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, the next content update is making its way onto the PTR, including a whole new specialization for dracthyr Evokers, a new mega-dungeon—Dawn of the Infinite—and much more.


New Evoker Specialization: Augmentation

Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them. All Evokers can now choose to explore Azeroth as a new specialization: Augmentation. Read more about this new specialization in our preview article.


New Mega-Dungeon Dawn of the Infinite

The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murazond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron and Galakrond, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more.


Unravel the Time Streams

Join Together for Time Rifts

The time streams have become a bit more unstable with recent events and as the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines have begun making their way into Azeroth. Players will join together to take on Time Rifts, push back against the waves of minions, and plug the hole to set the timeways straight again.

Eon’s Fringe

Undertake new repeatable content in Eon’s Fringe as you work to settle the timeways and solve the problems brought about by their instability while reaping the rewards of a job well done.


Whelp Daycare

The dragons have more eggs than they can handle, so they've called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds itself overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from their friends—you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, earn Renown, and more.


The Warlock Class Expands to New Races

In the Fractures in Time content update, the Warlock class will become available to Night Elves, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls.

Warlocks will also be able to undertake a new quest line starting with the quest "Beginning Impositions,” which will unlock a new imp pet customization. Players will also be able to visit the Barbershop to customize their pets.


Class Talent Updates

More class balance and tuning is coming for mages, rogues, Holy Paladins, and more.


The Fractures in Time content update will be making its way to the PTR soon. Keep an eye on the official forums for updates and patch notes once the PTR is live.

Disgusting.

I'll be fair, Kul Tiran warlock makes sense, and Zandalari too;  the foes had powers and tapping them could attract some people.    Lots of flavor to support those. 

I would NOT see a Mag'har tapping that.  Just doesn't fit the honor of their people.   Your kilometres may vary.

"Slow down, pain is to be savored!"

These can always be explained as outliers among their societies. Shamans, paladins and druids should be next, but they all require specific assets for their races (totems, paladin mounts, druid forms). Looks like only dh and evoker could possibly remain locked to specific races.

Shamans don’t exist man! I think shamans was a mistake and they just left them in there. All this earth magic lore, and we still got the crappy *filtered* earthshock animation, the same dumb ascendence. Hell we can’t even get an elemental skin. How cool would it look when you use earthshock for a chuck of earth pop out and impale your target, or maybe we could get a defensive using earth magic that gives us a lil absorb shield.

      Week 3 of Aberrus saw things settle in, as this may be what the rankings will look like until we see some tuning (at least in Heroic). We're also taking a deeper look into Mythic this week, as more guilds have finished up the raid, but the focus is still on Heroic as it's only been 30 guilds that defeated Sarkareth Mythic.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      Arcane has pulled out ahead even more, increasing their DPS by over 10K since last time, but the other specs are also very much improved, as more tier sets come into play (you can read about just why the Mage spec is doing so well here). While Demonology remains in 2nd, Unholy has pushed up into 3rd, and we have yet another Warlock in the top 5 as Affliction skyrockets 6 spots up and pushes Devastation down into 5th. Shadow remains stable as everything changes around it, with the scuffle above and Subtlety falling down below the Priest. Marksmanship breaks into the top 10, pushing the third Warlock spec out, while the Shamans hang out together in the middle of the pack. Beast Mastery, Fire and Feral remain at the boom, with the Hunter spec getting very used to it down there.

      95th percentile Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      Subtletly is doing a lot better in the generalist bracket, beating out Unholy for 3rd, while the top 2 remain the same. Affliction doesn't rise as high as in the top percentiles, but does gain more spots, 10 in fact, with Balance at its back, also gaining 2. Marksmanship and Fury stick together on their way down, both dropping 2 spots. Devastation is on its way up here, grabbing 9th.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Arcane isn't quite as far ahead here, but is still in a commanding lead, as Unholy tries to give it a run for its money. The two top Warlocks specs are very close here and even Destruction arrives into the top 10 to make it 3 purples, as Assassination drops quite a few spots.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Mythic
      Mythic is becoming more relevant each week, especially with the short fights of Heroic skewing things in favor of Arcane, which isn't doing so well here, finding itself down in 8th. Frost DKs are back on top, but extremely close to Devastation. Shadow is only a little further down, just ahead of previous No.1, Elemental. The Warlock party continues in Mythic as well, as Demo is actually joined by Destro instead of Affliction in 5th and 6th, but the DoT spec isn't that far behind, also making the top 10. Beast Mastery and Fire are at the bottom of all the rankings, but are actually joined by Fury here.

      Blizzard is adding 3 new tabards in Patch 10.1.5. We have a Sons of Hodir tabard, a new Scourge tabard with the Forsaken W3 logo, and more.
      Utopian Tabard
      This is the Sons of Hodir tabard recently added in Wrath Classic, I think.


      Victorious Scourge Tabard
      A new Scourge tabard of sorts with the Warcraft 3 logo was added in Patch 10.1.5. This one has some clipping issues in the latest 10.1.5 PTR build.


      Time Mender's Tabard
      The final third tabard is themed after time travel. Maybe it's from the new megadungeon or Time Rifts.

      Anboni has created a WoW prop hunt game in Unreal Engine 5 that takes place in Gadgetzan.
      Abilities
      You right-click an object to transform into it. "R" is an AoE root on a 1-minute cooldown. When you press "V", you will AoE taunt nearby enemies Everyone can put a robot on the ground that alerts about nearby enemies. Every player has 5 lives.
      Anboni played the game with friends and we have a nearly 10-minute gameplay video.
      If you're interested in how the game came to be you can also watch the "making of" video below.

      The surprise Blue Dragonflight questline that became available on live servers last week added a new Malygos model. Check it out!
      Dragonwrath wielders will obtain Tarecgosa's Visage as a standalone mount upon completion. The questline ends with a cinematic that shows members of the Blue Dragonflight. Most notably, we get to see a brand new Malygos model.

      It's time for another overview of the past week in hotfixes! We had plenty of changes for the Diablo crossover event, Mythic Aberrus tuning, plenty of class fixes as usual, Mythic+ dungeon adjustments, as well as Firelands trinket tuning and more!
      Weekly Hotfix Summary (Source)
      Characters
      The niffen have noticed that player’s scent permeates through all their characters, as such, the Smelly title is now account-wide. Classes
      Monk Fixed an issue causing Weapons of Order to incorrectly increase enemy damage taken from trinket and embellishment effects. Shaman Enhancement Fixed an issue where using Windstrike in Ascendance while talented into Legacy of the Frost Witch and Thorim's Invocation was not properly resetting the cooldown of Windstrike when gaining the Legacy of the Frost Witch buff. Paladin Fixed an issue where some cooldowns were not updating dynamically with Blessing of Dusk. The cooldowns of Holy Prism and Light's Hammer are now reduced by Blessing of Dusk when the class set is equipped. Warlock Demonology Fixed an issue where Ripped through the Portal would not function on Magmorax’s platform. Fixed an issue where Dread Calling would not function on Magmorax’s platform. Fixed an issue where Infernal Command would not function on Magmorax’s platform. Dungeons and Raids
      Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Fixed an issue allowing players who had completed Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: Echoes of the Earth-Warder on any difficulty to access later encounters on higher difficulties. The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn Developers’ note: The Zskarn changes address an emerging tactic that trivializes certain aspects of the encounter. We hope these changes will encourage more interaction with the encounter’s existing mechanics, while maintaining its prior level of difficulty. These changes will be live 5/26. The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn health reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty. Dragonfire Golem health reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty. Zskarn will now Berserk on all difficulties. Adjusted the position of Dragonfire Traps. Shrapnel Bomb reduced to 3 on Mythic difficulty (was 4). Fixed an issue that could cause an inappropriate amount of Shrapnel Bombs to spawn. Zskarn no longer activates Tactical Destruction based on his location. The Underrot Fixed an issue where Sporecaller Zancha’s Festering Harvest would not destroy spore pods. Mythic+ Neltharus Forgemaster Gorek [With weekly restarts] Reduced the duration of Blazing Aegis reduced to 4 seconds (was 6 seconds). Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr Bromach [With weekly restarts] The health of Quaking totem has been reduced by 20%. The Vortex Pinnacle Asaad [With weekly restarts] Reduced the health of Skyfall Nova by 10%. Enemies and NPCs
      Fixed an issue where the Treasure Goblin is spawning multiple times consecutively in Valdrakken. Zaralek Cavern [With weekly restarts] The loot lockout now resets when the content in a given area of the map becomes available. Now, when world quests are visible in an area, the rare elite enemies in that area will also be available. Rare elite rewards have been increased to offset their reduced frequency. Developers’ notes: Unlike Forbidden Reach, the rare elites in Zaralek Cavern are meant to be a bonus, rather than the primary activity. Items and Rewards
      Reduced the mana granted by Serpent's Grand Charm to 2,400 (was 12,000) to correctly account for how healer mana pools are calculated. The Diablo Promotion Charms effects will no longer be applied while in Raids, Rated PVP and M+ Dungeons. Developers’ notes: The effects won’t immediately reapply when you leave these instances. You will need to relog to get them to apply again. We are looking into a possible fix for this. Firelands Timewalking Trinkets The Hungerer - Haste reduced by 5%. Matrix Restabilizer - All secondary stats reduced by 5%. Necromantic Focus - Mastery reduced by 20%. Vessel of Acceleration - Critical Strike reduced by 10%. Fixed an issue where Dragonfire Bomb Dispenser’s charge stacks would be lost upon leaving combat. Ominous Chromatic Essence will now recall the player’s previously chosen Oathstone alignment when relogging without the trinket equipped. Mounts
      The Savage Green Battle Turtle will no longer be summoned from the favorite mount list on land when it is favored and will now be prioritized when in water. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue with capturing the Risen Spirits during the Classic Ashran Brawl. Classes Hunter Sentinel now resets to 5 stacks or seconds available when Arenas and Battlegrounds start. Items and Rewards Ashkandur, Fall of the Brotherhood damage reduced by 60% in PvP Combat. Bile-Stained Crawg Tusks damage reduced by 60% in PvP Combat. Forgestorm damage reduced by 60% in PvP Combat. Quests
      Fixed an issue where “Seismic Ceremony” would not complete for players who only killed Runestone Fragments and did not click any Primalist Runestones. Characters who have completed “Moving On” will be able to start “Keeper of the Ossuary” on their alts if their alts are level 70. Alts will not have to complete the Azure Span introduction to gain access to the Blue Dragonflight quest. The extra Effervesta will not be present during the “Best Friends” quest chain. Fyrakk is looking for more folks to burninate during “Aiding the Accord: Suffusion Camp,” so this quest can now be offered to qualifying alts between levels 60 and 66 (was 67+). Trading Post
      “Complete Weekly Crafting Quests” and “Fulfill Personal Crafting Orders” activities should once again appear in the Travelers Log.
