We’re also looking at the relative weightings of secondary stats such as Haste, Mastery, and Crit. There’s room for fine-tuning, and we to make it so everyone feels like they can customize their character to their liking.
For example, in the Barrage row for Marksman Hunters, it feels like there is only one option in the row that you must take regardless of your play style. We’re taking a look at are talent rows, so we can increase the diversity of talents.
WOW LEGION PTR WEAPONS PATCH
Patch 7.1.5 is when we’re really trying to tackle some of the broader class issues. Most of the changes up to this point have been constrained to hotfix-based numerical tuning. Legion featured one of our biggest class overhauls yet, and since launch we’ve been listening to feedback from the community and making balance adjustments-but we’ve been somewhat limited in terms of what we could change in our hotfixes and first patch. We look forward to seeing how that turns out. Your battles in Blade’s Edge will now be “shoutcast” by an ogre announcer, who will call out events of particular importance. While we’re happy with the way this map plays, we’ve added a shiny new coat of paint so it looks more consistent with the rest of the world-and we’re introducing a new fun feature.
WOW LEGION PTR WEAPONS UPDATE
Much like the update to Nagrand Arena, we thought it was time to do a little redecorating in Blade’s Edge Mountain Arena. Each one is meant to make the world feel more alive without making players feel like they need to participate for big rewards-while still providing some more variety and fun. With Patch 7.1.5, we’ll be rolling out a variety of micro-holidays with the intent of adding more to them over time. These events are meant to be activities players can participate in for fun, rather than for game-changing rewards. For example, the citizens of Azeroth might be invited to celebrate a specific moment in their history for just a single day. Unlike holidays like Winter Veil, which run multiple weeks, “micro-holidays” offer brief, holiday-style events with new activities for players to take part in. Players will also be able to earn Brawler’s Gold to provide some additional communal benefits for fellow Brawlers and buy new awards for taking part in the event. In Patch 7.1.5, we’re introducing dozens of new bosses to test your grit, along with adding a new challenge in the form of Rumbles, which will occasionally trigger and pull spectators into the action to take on a raid boss. The Brawler’s Guild closed their doors for renovations toward the end of Warlords of Draenor, but the staff is preparing to reopen for a new season. In this patch, we’ll be adding six Mists of Pandaria dungeons into the Timewalking cycle: Temple of Jade Serpent, Stormstout Brewery, Shado-Pan Monastery, Gate of the Setting Sun, Mogu’shan Palace, and Siege of Niuzao Temple. Timewalking Dungeons are a good example of “evergreen” content. Down below you’ll find features found in patch 7.1.5 which will release on the PTR in the “near future”. Patch 7.1.5 is being prepared and is considered a “small” patch which will feature rewards, system updates, and evergreen content. According to Blizzard, patch 7.1 is considered a patch “in-between”, when it comes to size. A new patch structure is being built to deliver updates in various sizes. Unlike previous expansions, Blizzard wants to make sure that Legion offers a steady stream of content. Legion’s first update, patch 7.1 “Return to Karazhan” was released only 2 weeks ago, but already Blizzard provided insight in the future of Legion.
Blizzard has provided details on upcoming content updates featured in World of Warcraft: Legion patch 7.2 and 7.1.5.
