The Fractures in Time PTR has been updated with the following changes:

THE WARLOCK CLASS EXPANDS TO NEW RACES

The Warlock class is now available to Night Elves, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls in this week’s update.

CLASSES

  • DRUID
    • Balance
      • Astral Smolder duration is now 6 seconds (was 8 seconds).

      • Untamed Savagery now also increases maximum Thrash stacks by 1 per rank.
      • Thorns of Iron moved to row 6.
      • Galactic Guardian moved to row 9.
  • EVOKER
    • Augmentation
      • Developers’ note: This week’s changes are intended to make it less trivial to achieve 100% uptime on Ebon Might, to ensure there’s room for player growth and mastery. Additionally, tuning is ongoing, and we will continue to adjust spells and values throughout the PTR cycle.
      • Vault of the Incarnates set bonus has been implemented:
        • 2-Set Bonus: Blistering Scales increases Armor by an additional 10% of your own.
        • 4-Set Bonus: Your damage done is increased by 8%.
      • Interwoven Threads cooldown reduction reduced to 10% (was 15%).
      • Dream of Spring is now a choice node with Prolong Life.

      • Spatial Paradox range increase now affects more spells, including Divine Hymn, Dream Breath, Rewind, Tranquility, Revival, Light of Dawn, and various other spells it was not increasing before.
    • Devastation
      • Developers’ note: The changes below are aimed at compressing the difference in damage that Devastation deals to high health vs. low health targets, while retaining gameplay texture and Mastery’s value as a powerful secondary stat. For characters with moderate amounts of Mastery, these changes will be neutral to overall damage dealt. Characters with high Mastery will see a slight reduction to damage dealt, and players with low Mastery will see a slight increase.

      • New Talent: Unleashed Inferno – While Combustion is active your Fireball, Pyroblast, Fire Blast, Scorch, and Phoenix Flames deal 40% increased damage and reduce the cooldown of Combustion by 2.5 seconds.

      • Fixed an issue that caused Judgments empowered by Awakening to not trigger the healing from Avenging Crusader.

    • New Talent: Benevolence – Increases the healing of your spells by 3%.
    • Power Word: Life now shares a choice node with Benevolence.
    • There is now a connection between Light’s Inspiration and Benevolence/Power Word: Life.
    • New Talent: Essence Devourer – Attacks from your Shadowfiend and Mindbender siphon life from enemies, healing a nearby injured ally.
    • Void Shift now shares a choice node with Essence Devourer.
    • Shadow
      • Developers’ note: We’re adjusting the mana economy of hybrid DPS, starting with Shadow. The current flow can feel restrictive during combat with how quickly mana depletes. Our goal is to allow for more continuous casts of utility and healing spells while maintaining limits on how much hybrids can contribute to healing or offensive dispels. In short, this is a deeper mana pool with less regen.
      • Mana pool at level 70 increased to 250,000 (was 50,000).
      • Mana regeneration increased by 150%.
      • Flash Heal now costs 10% of base mana (was 5%).
      • Power Word: Shield now costs 10% of base mana (was 5%).
      • Dispel Magic now costs 14% of base mana (was 2%).

      • Halo now costs 4% of base mana (was 1%).
      • Power Word: Life now costs 4% of base mana (was 0.5%).
  • SHAMAN
    • Developers’ note: We’re making some more adjustments to Ancestral Guidance this week to allow it to once again work with all of your abilities but with a cap on how much can be healed per second. This should keep AoE damage or healing scenarios stronger than single target with regards to healing throughput, but should lessen the power of individual abilities doing tremendous amounts of healing in a single moment.
    • Ancestral Guidance has been reverted to work with all damaging abilities (not just single target damaging abilities), but it now caps the amount of potential healing per tick at 20% of your maximum health, to up to 3 targets.
    • Ancestral Guidance can no longer cause healing from non-class abilities (such as trinkets, weapon enchants, potion, etc.).
  • WARLOCK
    • Added 2 new Imp color customization options in this week’s ptr update.
      • Developers’ note: Customizing your demons in the Barbershop is still under development and will be available in a future PTR update.
    • Affliction
      • Developers’ note: The number of casts required for Affliction to be properly setup is high and something that can feel especially punishing in multi-target situations and PVP. We are replacing Malefic Affliction and implementing changes to Dread Touch and Doom Blossom to make Affliction’s rotation more accessible and less punishing.
      • Malefic Affliction has been removed.
      • New Talent: Xavius’ Gambit – Unstable Affliction deals 15/30% increased damage.
      • Xavius’ Gambit is located in Malefic Affliction’s previous location.
      • Dread Touch has been redesigned – Malefic Rapture causes targets suffering from your Unstable Affliction to take 30% additional damage from your damage over time effects for 8 seconds.
      • Doom Blossom has been redesigned – When Seed of Corruption damages targets suffering from your Unstable Affliction, they explode for Shadow damage.
    • Demonology
      • Developers’ note: We’re working to reduce the peaks and valleys of Demonology’s throughput by depowering Call Dreadstalkers. This will allow us to compensate by increasing the throughput of Demonology’s other rotational spells. We hope to have those tuning adjustments soon.
        Lastly, the Demonic Core economy has been too generous in Dragonflight. We want to return Demonology to a place where Shadow Bolt is frequently cast, Demonbolt damage feels impactful, and the number of instant casts available is a bit more limited.
      • Ripped through the Portal, Demonic Knowledge, Shadow’s Bite, Demonic Meteor, and Fel Might have been removed.
      • Fel and Steel has been redesigned – Your primary Felguard’s Legion Strike damage is increased by 10%. Your primary Felguard’s Felstorm damage is increased by 5%.
      • New Talent: Heavy Handed – Increases your primary Felguard’s critical strike chance by 10%.
      • Heavy Handed is located in Fel Might’s previous location.
      • New Talent: Cavitation – Your primary Felguard’s damaging critical strikes deal 10/20% increased damage.
      • Cavitation is located in Umbral Blaze’s previous location.
      • New Talent: Shadowflame Acolyte – Shadow Bolt deals 15% increased damage and Demonbolt deals 10% increased damage.
      • Shadowflame Acolyte is located in Demonic Knowledge’s previous location.
      • New Talent: Imp-erator – Increases the critical strike chance of your Wild Imp’s Fel Firebolt by 5/10%.
      • Imp-erator is located in Demonic Calling’s previous location.
      • New Talent: Dirty Hands – Hand of Gul’dan deals 8/15% increased damage and the critical strike chance of Hand of Gul’dan is increased by 8/15%.
      • Dirty Hands is located in Inner Demons’ previous location.
      • Fel Covenant has been moved to Shadow’s Bite’s previous location.
      • Fel Covenant is now 1 rank (was 2 ranks).
      • Umbral Blaze has been moved to Fel Covenant’s previous location.
      • Dread Calling has been moved to Ripped through the Portal’s previous location.
      • Dread Calling is now 2 ranks (was 1 rank).
      • Demonic Calling has been moved to Demonic Meteor’s previous location.
      • Demonic Calling is now 1 rank (was 2 ranks).
      • Inner Demons has been moved to Dread Calling’s previous location.
      • Inner Demons is now 1 rank (was 2 ranks).

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

  • EVOKER
    • New PvP Talent: Dreamwalker’s Embrace – Verdant Embrace tethers you to an ally, increasing movement speed by 40% and causing enemies who pass through the tether to be damaged and slowed by 50% for 3 seconds. The tether lasts up to 10 seconds or until you move more than 30 yards away from your ally.

      • Cleanse the Weak has been redesigned – When you dispel an ally within your aura, 1 ally within your aura is dispelled of the same effect. Healing allies with your Flash of Light or Holy Light will cleanse all Diseases and Poisons from the target.
      • Flash of Light now heals 50% more in PvP combat (was 80%).
      • Holy Light now heals for 75% more in PvP combat (was 100%).

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY

  • Arena unit frames have been updated:
    • Arena frames now gray out if players are stealthed or invisible.
    • Fixed an issue where battleground flag carriers were not showing.
  • While in a scenario, minimap blobs are now yellow instead of blue to increase visibility.
  • Added a new quest icon to indicate important quests.

WORLD EVENTS

  • KALIMDOR CUP
    • Rediscover Kalimdor’s skies with a new dragonrider racing world event. Challenge 16 races across Kalimdor in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges to exchange for rewards with Maztha.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
    • By Starym
      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
