There's a fair amount of changes and buffs for Marksmanship that have arrived on the PTR. The first part of the changes are to enhance Marksmanship's tools for keeping a target at range, so we're seeing Bursting Shot and Concussive Shot buffs.

There's also a change to Rapid Fire to bring it in line with most other channeled spells in regards to line of sight, so it will now continue to do damage even after a target has broken LOS, and you can also Disengage during the channeling of it. The other big changes are to Trueshot, reducing its cooldown and making it also reduce Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire cooldowns during its duration, as well as to Careful Aim, making it more consistent by having it always trigger.

While we may already have seen some Uldir solo kills, the final boss of the last expansion is still quite a challenge for just one player and there have been a couple of kills recently. As you'd imagine, the Paladin one is by none other than Rextroy in his Protection form, but the first kill was done by FallingDarkness/Shoot: Oct 15, 2018 at 07:05 by Starym 1 comment

Incursions are very similar to Legion invasions in terms of functinality. Zones will be periodically under assault and you're going to see an invasion icon on the map. Standard world quests will be replaced by invasion quests and once you complete four, you're going to be transported to the opposing faction's ship to complete a short quest for Gold, gear and reputation with BfA factions. Oct 13, 2018 at 15:12 by Stan 10 comments

There's some variety coming to Island Expeditions, with events similar to the Legion invasions going on inside the expeditions themselves. Each week will see a new type of creature showing up and each will have their own set of cosmetic rewards as well. Expeditions have been one of the less popular features in BfA overall and this is just one of the ways in which Blizzard hope to improve them.

You can also check out our Island Expeditions guide for a little refresher. Oct 12, 2018 at 23:10 by Starym 13 comments

It's time for more Rextroy, but this time in another solo adventure as he takes a light 3 and a half hour tour of Atal'Diazar on M+ 10, with an item level of 372. We also get some commentary/guides on each boss and trash below the video, featuring more use of Last Defender with some help from local bugs, even after the nerf (for the first boss at least). Oct 10, 2018 at 07:01 by Starym 2 comments

Here come today's hotfixes, including the already announced emissary Azerite armor upgrade to 370, although it's unclear if this includes the fixes to the scaling bugs and lowering of the requirements for 370 items.
