PTR Patch 10.1 — Novinky, změny a vývoj k 28. březnu 2023

Hello adven­tu­rers! The Embers of Nel­tha­ri­on PTR has been upda­ted with the following changes:

DRAGONFLIGHT SEASON 2

• MYTHIC+
  • The Vor­tex Pin­nacle is avai­la­ble with this week’s Mythic+ test.
  • The­re are new affi­xes and adjus­ted affi­xes avai­la­ble for tes­ting. Pla­yers can pur­cha­se scrolls from the keysto­ne ven­dor to add to these to the­ir keystone. 
    • New Affix: Incor­po­re­al – Whi­le in com­bat, incor­po­re­al beings appear and attempt to desta­bi­li­ze pla­yers with spells that redu­ce the­ir damage and hea­ling done. Incor­po­re­al beings are suscep­ti­ble to all forms of crowd control.
    • New Affix: Afflic­ted – Whi­le in com­bat, Afflic­ted Souls appear that seek the aid of pla­yers. Afflic­ted Souls spa­wn with poi­son, cur­se, and dise­a­se afflicti­ons. Remo­ving any of these afflicti­ons or res­to­ring the spi­rit to full heal­th causes it to despa­wn. Fail to remo­ve the­ir afflicti­ons in time will inflict pla­yers with a nega­ti­ve sta­tus effect.
    • New Affix: Entan­g­ling – Whi­le in com­bat, entan­g­ling vines sna­re players.
    • Upda­ted Affix: Explo­si­ve – Fewer Explo­si­ve Orbs spa­wn, but they now have sub­stan­ti­ally higher health.
