ITEMS

• Raid loot from Vault of the Incar­na­tes and Aberrus, the Sha­dowed Cru­ci­ble have rece­i­ved seve­ral adjust­ments to align with chan­ges made in Ami­r­dras­sil, the Dre­a­m’s Hope:

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

• BATTLEGROUND BLITZ BRAWL
• Developer’s note: We’ve been hap­py to see the exci­te­ment around Batt­le­ground Bli­tz after its launch in Guar­di­ans of the Dre­am and after moni­to­ring feedback and inter­nal data, we are making some chan­ges. We belie­ve these chan­ges will be heal­thy for the game mode and we want to ensu­re adequa­te time to obser­ve feedback on them whi­le Batt­le­ground Bli­tz is a brawl.
  In par­ticu­lar, we have not been hap­py with the low frequen­cy of cap­tu­re the flag maps due to the rest­ricti­on of having the maps be only avai­la­ble with tanks. In 10.2.6, we are lif­ting that rest­ricti­on and are intro­du­cing a new buff, Empowered Carrier, that will be applied to non-tank spe­ci­a­li­zati­ons if they pick up the flag in War­song Gulch and Twin Peaks. Tanks will still only be matched up aga­inst other tanks, and this buff will only be applied if the­re are not any tanks in the match.
  Addi­ti­o­nally, we’ve been ove­rall hap­py with and have heard posi­ti­ve feedback around having an incre­a­sed mount spe­ed in Batt­le­ground Bli­tz. However, the 150% mount spe­ed incre­a­se is sli­ght­ly too fast for both the gameplay and cha­rac­ter con­t­rol expe­ri­en­ces. We are adjus­ting the amount of incre­a­se on all maps, althou­gh having it sli­ght­ly higher on the lar­ger maps: Arathi Basin and Dee­pwind Gorge.
• Eye of the Storm

  • Added a hid­den effect that pre­vents fall damage to both teams for 10 seconds at the start of a match.
• War­song Gulch and Twin Peaks

  • New Buff: Empowered Carrier – Incre­a­ses maxi­mum heal­th by 10% and move­ment spe­ed by 30%. Addi­ti­o­nally, Empowered Carrier pro­vi­des 25% damage reducti­on for 4 seconds when stun­ned. Empowered Carrier is applied to non-tank spe­ci­a­li­zati­ons who pick up the flag on War­song Gulch or Twin Peaks and won’t be applied if the match star­ted with tanks in the match.
• Swift Pur­su­it has had the following adjustments:

  • Incre­a­sed mount spe­ed is now 100% Arathi Basin and Dee­pwind Gor­ge (was 150%).
  • Incre­a­sed mount spe­ed is now 75% on all other maps (was 150%).
• EVOKER

  • Pre­servati­on

    • Rewind heals for 50% of damage taken in the last 5 seconds in PvP com­bat (was 33%).
