The WoW Dragonflight Fractures in Time update (10.1.5) is now live
Evokers are getting a new specialization.
Here are all the things you can expect in this update other than the new storyline beats, which heavily involve Nozdormu and his visions of the future:
Evoker is getting a new specialization called Augmentation: which is a damage-based spec. You’ll be able to cast buffs based on damage done, so on paper, it requires a bit of vigilance when it comes to damage rotations and situational awareness. We’ll see how it actually plays out in the months to come.
There’s a new mega-dungeon called “Dawn of the Infinite.” You’ll quite literally be taking on the Infinite Dragonflight, who aim to transform Nozdormu into a more evil Murozond (yeah, WoW lore can get kind of wacky). It’s a Mythic-only dungeon and has eight bosses to take down. The big flourish is an encounter with Iridikron.
Time Rifts and Whelp Daycare are new daily activities, to help break down the monotony of the current daily rotation. Respectively, you’ll take down invading enemies and raise whelps for rewards.
Warlocks can now be played by Night Elves, Draenai, Pandaren, and Tauren races, which is kind of huge in the grand scheme of things, especially for folks who have been playing since 1.0.
A number of small events will take place all through the patch as well, including a Kalimdor Cup race from August 15-28. The patch also brings in a number of long-awaited fixes for bugged questlines, as well as “new fog art” for Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, which will certainly make plenty of us take a field trip through those zones at some point.
