Transcript
- 0:00Blizzard has released a new article covering a fractures and
- 0:04time. The ten point one point five
- 0:07content update that will be coming this summer.
- 0:10I'm going to sit down with these today to talk over the new
- 0:15Evoque or spec, which has been revealed augmentation of ochres
- 0:19as well as the mega dungeon coming in this.
- 0:22New patch dawn of the infinite. This is just a first glance.
- 0:26They are PTR is already up, but I'll be covering that in the
- 0:29standard. Sewed later this week until
- 0:32then, let's get into it, calendar
- 0:47for the alliance for Azeroth. Hello and welcome back to
- 0:56another episode of for Azeroth. I am your host the True Villain.
- 1:00Manny and joining me is a special guest, a specialist.
- 1:04If you will, to talk about a new specialization, we have, he's
- 1:09he's how are you today? Hi, I am doing so well.
- 1:12So happy to be here and so excited.
- 1:14Like, this is fresh off the press.
- 1:16Like, we, we are here mere minutes, not quite, but our at
- 1:21least since we got this news. So I'm very happy to be here.
- 1:25Yeah. Yeah, we took enough time to
- 1:27digest it a bit sort of figure out what in the world was
- 1:30coming. Still, the hype is fresh.
- 1:32So we have to get this out and he's thank you for coming onto
- 1:35the show, for the people who are fans of far as off, but don't
- 1:39know you. Where do people normally go to
- 1:42listen to? He's so you can usually hear
- 1:47this. He's voice on rail maintenance.
- 1:51Mostly I've been hosting that for a good year and a half now,
- 1:55which is Weird. But I'm on there together, with,
- 1:58with Olivia and to get to the creek and Monica stone.
- 2:01And you can also hit me on wrath babies.
- 2:04Road. Maintenance is all blistered, I
- 2:06should say, and it's actually a podcast about podcasts.
- 2:09And so, we kind of try to highlight what's going on in the
- 2:12blizzard universe. And as well as what's going on
- 2:16in blizzard podcasts, we have interviews.
- 2:19You've been on here, Manny and we've had a lot of podcasters
- 2:22and content creators just kind of chatting about what they do
- 2:25and how they Started, and it's always very interesting.
- 2:27And then wrath babies, it's just me and my co-host Eric and we
- 2:32talked all about. Wow, not wrath, even though it's
- 2:35called rat babies, but it's called rat babies, because we
- 2:38are both rat babies. We started in Wrath, and so
- 2:41we're talking both about dragonflight sometimes classic,
- 2:44but mostly dragonflight can also find me occasionally on YouTube
- 2:47with a video here and there and on Twitter as well.
- 2:50And both twitch and YouTube is gaming with ease.
- 2:54Yeah, that's that's where you can find me.
- 2:55Me. Yeah, so if you guys want to
- 2:58take on, Wow, and you're tired of hearing my voice.
- 3:00Definitely check out rat babies. And if you want to know about,
- 3:04alt bunch of Kata podcasts that are out there, like, you said,
- 3:06rail maintenance, the podcasts about podcast.
- 3:10So like we said, we're fresh off the press of some major news.
- 3:15We just got blizzard putting out, two articles one, all about
- 3:21everything, that's going to be coming to us in patch, ten
- 3:24point, one point, five. And that's insane.
- 3:27We just, we're not even a week into season two.
- 3:32I haven't had my second raid night and already.
- 3:36We now know what we're looking for.
- 3:38Do. I haven't had my first raid
- 3:40night that's tomorrow for me. So super fresh for me.
- 3:47When you think of the news coming, this fast, do you think
- 3:50it's too soon? Do you think it sort of quelles,
- 3:52the hype for like what you're currently about to dive into?
- 3:55I don't think so. It's actually been on my mind
- 3:59that you know, we obviously got the roadmap fairly early on this
- 4:04year which I thought was everyone thinks?
- 4:07It's amazing because especially if they can actually stick to
- 4:10it. Then we're so happy to know when
- 4:12we're going to get things, but I was talking about this on wrath
- 4:15babies knowing that We're in season two 10.1.
- 4:19But we don't know what the mega dungeon is going to be in 10.1
- 4:225. And that felt kind of strange
- 4:26honestly that far out. So even though it is very fresh
- 4:32off, 10.1, I think it's the perfect time.
- 4:35You know, there's already a lot of hype.
- 4:37Maybe they could have waited a couple days but I'm not going to
- 4:39complain. I'm not gonna was it called
- 4:41gift. Horse in the mouth.
- 4:42There's something about that. There's some else.
- 4:44Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, so I think it's a great
- 4:47time. Time.
- 4:48It's a great, great time to kind of see what we have to look
- 4:52forward to. And obviously it's not really
- 4:54going to be, we'll get there. But the big news in many ways is
- 4:58the Mega dungeon and the mega dungeon.
- 5:01Isn't really going to be competitive with the other
- 5:03content that we have. It's not going to be part of the
- 5:05season to Mythic plus pool. And the rating is going to be
- 5:08mostly done by then at least for the people who raised.
- 5:11Right? And so I think it's a great time
- 5:13to, to inform us of what's going to come.
- 5:17Yeah, no, that's actually pretty, pretty sound reasoning.
- 5:20If I do say so myself. Um, but yes fractures in time is
- 5:25the title of ten point one point five, and it's do this summer
- 5:30like you Said we got an updated roadmap, which has expanded,
- 5:35what we're going to be getting in this new technically a small
- 5:39patch. When you look at the list of
- 5:41features compared to like the previous you know 10.05 and 10
- 5:45.07 this is a lot of stuff coming at us.
- 5:51It's huge like obviously Mega dungeon we knew about but then a
- 5:56new Evoque Respec. Which, I mean I made a volcker
- 6:00and yeah, that's been obviously ruminating and there's been a
- 6:03lot of talk about that, but I thought at the very earliest
- 6:07would be 10.2, right? But here we are.
- 6:09We're getting the new augmentation spec and there's
- 6:12more stuff too. It's not just those two things.
- 6:15Yeah. Like, okay, on this show, I went
- 6:19on a rack and I said, yeah, like there's a chance that we could
- 6:22get this but not in the middle of the expansion, not without
- 6:25testing. This is something that maybe
- 6:27we'll At the earliest 11.0. I'll take the L on that one,
- 6:32guys. I was wrong ugly, ugly wrong.
- 6:34And I know it's out of show notes order, but we got to talk
- 6:38about this because this is the, this is one of the big things
- 6:41that people were remembering about.
- 6:44But really still caught so much of us by surprise.
- 6:48So, let's talk about the new Evoque, or spec.
- 6:52What is this? So, it is called augmentation,
- 6:57and there's been a lot of rumor. I personally was hoping and
- 7:02maybe even thinking that it would be a tank spec.
- 7:04It is not a tank Speck in the first, the big 10.1 5 article,
- 7:10they call it a support specialization in the actual
- 7:17they had possessed the second. They had one about one article
- 7:20all by 1.1, 10.1 25. And then one article all about
- 7:23About augmentation evoker and that is actually a damaged spec.
- 7:29I know there was some speculation about being at as a
- 7:33Healer spec or a support spec, but it's actually a damaged spec
- 7:38and there's so much to unpack here.
- 7:39There's so much to say about this.
- 7:41So the brief of it is we're going to dive into this, but the
- 7:46brief is, Still intellect. It's still like semi range.
- 7:51It's the same as preservation, Devastation, you're not going
- 7:55into any other different kind of kinds of gameplay.
- 7:58You're still going to use Essences or Essence to use your
- 8:01Big Spenders but they say the kind of tag line is to imbue
- 8:06allies with the might of the black dragon and bend time and
- 8:11fate in their favor with bronze Magic.
- 8:16Yeah, and I think this is something that when you were
- 8:20looking at the Evoque errs, they were like, oh yeah, the the
- 8:23preservation, they use, like, red and green to write, and with
- 8:30like, a little bit of bronze bronze magic to rewind.
- 8:35And that actually, I'd say, the primary ones are green and
- 8:37bronze with just a little bit of red.
- 8:39And then the devastation, that's where you had like blue magic.
- 8:45And, and Ed Magik and still the entire way.
- 8:48It's like well well black I guess is like that one defensive
- 8:51but we're ceplac magic coming in and the black dragonflight this
- 8:55is it this is where their specialization of empowering an
- 9:01impact and like imbuing their allies comes into play and
- 9:06storyline wise. They've been putting this over
- 9:10for a while where it's like. Yeah the black dragonflight they
- 9:13were like on the front lines but they were Empowering the other
- 9:17flights to make them stronger and everything.
- 9:19So, I guess they like obviously they had this planned for a
- 9:25while but they were giving a subtle hints all the way
- 9:28through. And I think that's really
- 9:30interesting. Mechanics aside and gameplay,
- 9:33aside from you know we have a new spec interesting that they
- 9:37chose to instead of Of launching this class with three specs,
- 9:42going with two and then story progression wise, having them,
- 9:47unlock kind of their legacy and their history, right?
- 9:50And once again, connecting that black dragonflight magic into
- 9:55into their beings and you know, conspiracy theory could be like
- 10:00oh, it wasn't ready for launch and so they're like, let's focus
- 10:03on two specs. Halfway into the expansion, we
- 10:05can launch the third but if that's the case, they've done it
- 10:08incredibly Well story. Wise, like it's so clear that
- 10:11obviously 10.1 is all about neltharion, it's about the
- 10:14Legacy, the dragged through are looking for their family and
- 10:17their, you know, it seems very much like they are going to be
- 10:21tying into the black dragonflight with M birth, all
- 10:24spending, so much time with with Eben horn, and also civilian and
- 10:28rathian. And so it just it just makes
- 10:30sense. And for the actual gameplay of
- 10:34it, It is interesting the way they've built it up because they
- 10:43do say that. Once again, it's all the core is
- 10:47about buffing your allies. So do you mind if we dive into
- 10:50that a little bit? Yeah yeah.
- 10:52Let's go with because like this has more detail than I was
- 10:55expecting at a first glance at it.
- 10:58They actually gave like sample abilities and how it kind of
- 11:02works. So let's dive right into it.
- 11:03Go ahead. Yeah, and I mean it's a good
- 11:06sign that they already have Have things to show right since it's
- 11:10it's coming soon. They're hoping to put it on the
- 11:12PTR soon but so the kind of the chorus they showcased for spells
- 11:17and then a couple talents. And so the first spell that they
- 11:21showcased, like I said they already said that we're going to
- 11:23be using Essence just like preservation and Devastation.
- 11:27But the first spell that they showcased is called Eben.
- 11:30Might and the first for my first read through, it seems like a
- 11:33lot of it is going to be focusing.
- 11:35Around this spell, it has a 30 Can cool down 1.5 second cast
- 11:40and what it does is it increases your for nearest allies primary
- 11:44stat by a percentage of your own and cause your eruptions to deal
- 11:49more damage for 10 seconds. For 10 seconds it Buffs your for
- 11:54closest allies. They get some primary stat don't
- 11:57know how much but it's a parent percentage of your own.
- 12:00So the more primers that you have the more primers that they
- 12:03get in this for 10 seconds. Now the kicker here is that some
- 12:07of Your other spells extend the duration of these effects.
- 12:11So that's where these other three come in coming.
- 12:13Play the first two eruptions and upheaval are kind of just placed
- 12:18on on basic AOE spells, really eruption is going to replace
- 12:24disintegrate. So you're not going to be
- 12:26playing with disintegrates it has a two second cast and it
- 12:29costs 3 Essence and it causes a violent eruption beneath an
- 12:35enemy's feed still in volcanic damage.
- 12:37Split between them and nearby enemies.
- 12:42And the more I read about it it's kind of like a mix of
- 12:45disintegrate and pyre from from the devastation tree where it
- 12:50does do, it has direct damage. It's a targeted spell.
- 12:55And but it also spreads to have damage between them and nearby
- 13:00enemies and it's actually even further it is split.
- 13:04So this, then this spell is not only going to be single.
- 13:07And it's going to do the same amount of damage single Target
- 13:11or AOE but it is going to be split between them.
- 13:15This spells also increase the duration of your active Eben
- 13:18might. So once again, this is one of
- 13:20the spells that increases the duration of that buff spell then
- 13:23we have upheaval which is a 2 2 .5 s Empower spell and it has a
- 13:2940 second cooldown gatherer than power beneath your enemies feet
- 13:33and send them hurtling upwards dealing with chronic damage to
- 13:36them and nearby. Enemies empowering expands the
- 13:41area of effect. So once again this is a targeted
- 13:44spell, it's not a AOE that you place somewhere from the origin
- 13:48of the Target that you have the longer you.
- 13:52Empower the spell, the bigger the area is and they have a
- 13:55really cool in really cool animation of this.
- 13:59In the article where it both has like they invoked as his cool.
- 14:03Like, his hands go wider and wider to show that it's a wider
- 14:06area. And this cool Spike of Earth
- 14:11comes out of the ground, and it's really just kind of like a
- 14:14fire breath but in a circle instead.
- 14:18And once again, this also increase the duration of your
- 14:20active Eben might. So there's two AOE spells, but
- 14:24then this one, the last one is, is very interesting and that's
- 14:27breath of eons. It has a 1.5 minute cooldown and
- 14:31it replaces deep breath. So, deep breath is the one where
- 14:34you go flying across the area and you just breathe, breathe
- 14:39fire on them. That's the kind of anymore.
- 14:40You're going to do the exact same things.
- 14:41Things you're going to be flying to a Target location.
- 14:44But instead of doing direct damage, all the enemies, they
- 14:48get caught in, it will get something they called temporal
- 14:51wounds for Ten seconds to get a debuff.
- 14:54And this debuff will accumulate a portion of damage dealt by
- 14:58your allies. And then it will critically
- 15:02strike those enemies for that amount.
- 15:04The end of the duration, this also increases duration of your
- 15:08active effort might effects, but so this one is really you're
- 15:10going to be breathing over enemies.
- 15:12And then you want your other allies to burst?
- 15:15You want them to be as strong as possible you want to use this,
- 15:18when they're in their cool down window.
- 15:21When there's blood lust up and then as long as it live for 10
- 15:23seconds. If you don't live for 10
- 15:25seconds, it's a wasted spell. But after 10 seconds, all the
- 15:28damage that they've done, you don't know how much But a
- 15:30portion of it is then going to go into those enemies.
- 15:34And so all these three spells are both kind of usable in AOE
- 15:40and single Target, just like most of the devistation, but I
- 15:43feel like it's even more. It's rounding out the speck very
- 15:47well and they all build towards extending Eben, might we don't
- 15:52know how much these spells increase the duration, but I
- 15:56would wager 12 seconds, maybe, and so With the the combination
- 16:01of the eruption which is the essence cast and the upheaval,
- 16:06which is the the empowering cast, I would wager that you
- 16:09could get between 15 and 20 seconds of Eben, might maybe
- 16:12really good players and during heroism, you might be able to
- 16:15get 2025, I don't know. And then eventually it's only a
- 16:2130 second cooldown on Eben might so you want to weave that as
- 16:23much as possible to get the longest update up time possible
- 16:28for your allies to get that. Mary stat bonus.
- 16:32Yeah, this definitely is where they are focusing on that, buff
- 16:38that augmentation. If the Ebon might is the core of
- 16:41it. It's like you said, the core of
- 16:43the game play is going to be making sure you have as much
- 16:46uptime as possible because you're giving primary stats,
- 16:49that is a very strong buff to play around with.
- 16:53And I could see because it's there so many implications in
- 16:57this, because it's a portion of The augmentation of volkers
- 17:03stats there could be raid leaders that are like okay let's
- 17:08dump all the gear on the augmentation of ochre and then
- 17:11that will Cascade to other players.
- 17:14That's a weird possibility that I that means that like yeah we
- 17:18gear up the DPS first but the augmentation of ochre first then
- 17:21we go and gear up the healers and then the tanks get last and
- 17:25it's like, wow. Okay.
- 17:28There's the other part of it. Where you can write.
- 17:31This is a very thinking man's sort of spec.
- 17:35Not only because you're, you know, trying to keep the up time
- 17:38and we don't know if you can maintain 100% uptime, but there
- 17:43is something where it's like, okay, if you drop that buff,
- 17:46it's not only your damage of suffering.
- 17:48It's like for other people. This looks to be like windfury
- 17:54totem where you're going to build your raid, composition to
- 17:58put the for people who can most Fit into that particular
- 18:03particular point. This could be something where
- 18:06you change your rate comp based on the fight where it's like, oh
- 18:09man, this is healer heavy. But you know what?
- 18:11Instead of grabbing another healer will put the augmentation
- 18:14of ochre in the Healer group and that'll boost all their
- 18:16intellectual. Their heels will be that much
- 18:18more effective. This is like, that is there's a
- 18:20lot of weary ways that this could really make people think
- 18:25about where they're putting these augmentation of ochres.
- 18:31The other part that I thought was really cool with the
- 18:34abilities that you were putting forward, is that?
- 18:38Yes, two of them are AOE sort of abilities.
- 18:44I'm not sure how smart they are. If they ignore CC and stuff, are
- 18:47you going to bring an Evoque augmentation of okra here?
- 18:50And say, listen, man, I know you want to like increase the Buffs
- 18:53but we really can't have you breaking the Sheep every time.
- 18:56Just just do it. Small.
- 18:58Real quick, don't don't do the auto in power.
- 19:00Our, but a lot of these moves, also replace other moves and if
- 19:06they work in similar fashions in that in that tool tip or rather
- 19:11not tilted. But in that tool kit, that will
- 19:15be very strange. Very cool.
- 19:17To we know that disintegrate is something that our current DPS
- 19:21of ochres of Devastation. They really use tremendously,
- 19:26making sure that when they get those Essence first that they
- 19:30Can like throw throw those out. As quickly as possible.
- 19:34There was a weird munching thing that was happening in the first
- 19:37season where people were being very careful about that.
- 19:40And Are we going to see similar focus on just using eruptions in
- 19:48that way? I think this is going to be very
- 19:51cool. I'm really looking forward to
- 19:52seeing how this plays out on the PTR but I have to ask you If you
- 19:58are looking at this breath of eons, are you not only thinking
- 20:05like, okay, this is the damage 10 seconds after it and I got to
- 20:09make sure that this gets applied right ahead of the bus window.
- 20:13So it's like, okay, we're going to wait for this ability and
- 20:15then we're gonna hit less than you gotta be like, okay, I got
- 20:17to be landing when they hit lust but also you have to be like,
- 20:22okay, I can only fly this far because I want to make sure that
- 20:27like I land in time to start getting your own damage in or I
- 20:31need to fly further or like it's just, there's so many weird
- 20:34things because it's not just that time that window of time,
- 20:39it's the area that you cover. Its the damage that goes goes
- 20:43through, there's so much to this and the fact that it creates
- 20:47that it does like that guarantee Critical Strike is that meaning
- 20:50that Devastation of ogres are going to go with one set of
- 20:55stats, but these augmentation of ochres which Our DPS are going
- 21:00to now. Say, I don't want to touch crit
- 21:02to save my life. Yeah, I feel like because in
- 21:07many ways, obviously Devastation of okra already works with
- 21:10around a similar kind of game. Play with a dragon rage where
- 21:14Empower spells increase the duration of dragon rage and Ebon
- 21:19might in some ways are similar except it's much smaller cool
- 21:22down and I think, I think I think you're right.
- 21:28I don't think just off this. It seems like Jesus is going to
- 21:33be the way to go to get as money eruptions as many upheavals out
- 21:36as possible again, this is a very bare-bones Devastation,
- 21:42isn't a super comp, like it is complex in its in its details of
- 21:46how to extend regular just long as possible but it doesn't have
- 21:51a lot of spells. So in many ways, I don't think
- 21:54we're going to see a ton. I'm more abilities, being added
- 21:58to this. We're obviously still going to
- 21:59be having and living flame and so I kind of liken this in many
- 22:07ways to Shadow priest. I've been a shadow priest made
- 22:10for a long time and dragon rage in some ways are the same that,
- 22:13you know, if you, when you pop your cooldown Void for Dragon
- 22:17rage, a band, might you want to use your other spells to extend
- 22:21the duration in? It's not so much a part of the
- 22:24core rotation for shadow, priests with Voight eruption
- 22:27anymore. It's still there, but in
- 22:29especially in, in BFA, in shadowlands, you wanted to get
- 22:32as much uptime as possible from You're from your voidform from
- 22:36that void eruption to get as much damage as possible and you
- 22:39were kind of useless outside of that window.
- 22:43And I wonder how much of the the augmentation of ochre is going
- 22:48to kind of land in the same spot.
- 22:51How much can you actually do outside of a band?
- 22:53Might thankfully it's only a 30 second cooldown and so you'll be
- 22:57able to have it up a lot of the time.
- 22:59But how how bad is it going to feel if you can't get that?
- 23:04That buff out when your team needs to burst down that that
- 23:09that mob that spawns or just take down that Shield.
- 23:13If you still have 10 seconds or 5 seconds on your web and might
- 23:16and you can't quite bring as much damage as another DPS would
- 23:20in that time. Is that going to really harm
- 23:24your team? And I think that's that's
- 23:27nuanced that could be played with and could be fun. but I do
- 23:31think that, yeah, it's going to have a bit of a I most of my
- 23:38time right now, it's been spending keys in Mythic plus and
- 23:41so I'm viewing out of that out of that Viewpoint as well.
- 23:45And for our allies, obviously means the rest of the group, but
- 23:48in rating, it's the four nearest allies.
- 23:52And so, are you going to have to worry a lot more about your
- 23:55positioning to increase your Forest, near our nearest allies,
- 23:58primary stats, or they also alluded to earlier that many of
- 24:04these these Buffs. So, for example, the The Ebon
- 24:07might have smart or proximity-based automatic
- 24:11targeting, but it also say you will still be able to Target
- 24:15specific party members. If you decide, you're there is
- 24:18plenty of freedom to bolster your allies.
- 24:20As you see fit, don't know what that means.
- 24:22Are we gonna be able to choose like, oh no.
- 24:24Actually instead of proximity-based, I want to use
- 24:27party-based, That's something we don't know, but it'll be
- 24:33interesting to see how people play with it.
- 24:36Yeah, you know, I did mistakenly say earlier comparing it to win
- 24:40fiorito demand and the party thing, but that does raise a
- 24:45different set of of concerns because then it becomes like,
- 24:50okay. We're going to have the the
- 24:52augment group stand here. And then you're going to fly
- 24:55over there and then augment them and those Guys have to make sure
- 25:00that they're standing together and then, you know, there's
- 25:02going to be that guy who wants the parts.
- 25:03You don't try and sneak into the group you might get out of here.
- 25:06This is it a new level of Pi, right?
- 25:09Like, what if you have like can you get several Eben might Buffs
- 25:13if you have three augmentation of ogres in your group?
- 25:16Can you get three Buffs at the same time?
- 25:19And if you can, can you also then get pi and just be a
- 25:24monster on the M right? And I don't know, I don't know.
- 25:29Obviously right now you can't benefit from to win Furies, so
- 25:32maybe they're going to kind of make that exclusive and also
- 25:36hopefully smart targeting. So he doesn't overwrite other
- 25:39Eben mites. I don't know.
- 25:41Yet that that would be best because I can already think
- 25:45about fights like now Therian in the raid where particular
- 25:51players are, the only players that can damage the particular
- 25:56ads. And so you want to buff those
- 26:00guys but are you going to then have like you know three augment
- 26:04augmentation of ogres be like you?
- 26:06You there you're getting buffed and let's say it's a it's a
- 26:09death knight and they get pi and then that one death might just
- 26:12runs through and destroyed everything.
- 26:15There could be some very strange strategies that go around this
- 26:19but you're right to make that like that allegory to power
- 26:23infusion because there was a tweet or ready today from One of
- 26:28the people behind Warcraft logs, where they saw this augmentation
- 26:32of ochre and they just wanted to cry because it's like, there's
- 26:37going to be obviously, those people who cheese it.
- 26:40There's going to be weird strategies that come from this.
- 26:43And, yeah, I guess, considering this, like, a Bard class.
- 26:49Where do you, where do you attribute that damage?
- 26:52Like, you do the breath of eons. Everybody's like feeding into it
- 26:56and then there's this big hit. Is that all you're damaged or is
- 26:58that a Associated to everybody who contributed to it?
- 27:02Exactly. Because technically like you did
- 27:04the spell but they did the damage and they do have a brief
- 27:08blurb at the end of that article where they say, we're still
- 27:13working on some aspects of this new paradigm.
- 27:15Like, introducing some new combat log hooks, so that
- 27:19add-ons and Community, websites can effectively measure your
- 27:22performance for example. So once again do I know that's
- 27:28going to look like and I can imagine, it's still going to be
- 27:31a headache to actually weed out who did what, and how much you
- 27:35actually added to with a fight. But it's good that they're at
- 27:38least aware of it and doing something about it.
- 27:41Yeah. And so obviously people are
- 27:44considering this The Bard class of.
- 27:46Wow. And it's got some additional
- 27:49utility that in ways is somewhat unique.
- 27:52And so you've got to passive, Dragon attunements, you Choose
- 27:57between its you need to the black dragon fight or the bronze
- 28:01dragon fight. I see you bees as it depends how
- 28:06quickly you can switch because in Mythic Plus, the black
- 28:10dragonflight increases your maximum HP great.
- 28:13While you're in combat the bronze dragon flight one
- 28:15increases your movement speed great between packs.
- 28:22Yeah, and it's interesting because when I first read this,
- 28:28I read it as it's an because this is a talent and I thought
- 28:31it was a choice node. So you would either.
- 28:33When you choose your talents, your the, I don't know if this
- 28:36is true, they don't actually specify this.
- 28:38It says that you'd like, so I when I first put out as like,
- 28:40okay. So when you choose your talent,
- 28:42you'll either choose a draconic Attunement to the black
- 28:45Attunement with a bronze Attunement, but it could very
- 28:48well be like a switch. So that depending on the
- 28:51cooldown we don't know. That's true.
- 28:52Because then you would you be switching that a lot between
- 28:55pacts between poles? And even if you like, oh,
- 28:59intermission in this boss, you need to run somewhere then
- 29:01obviously you want to switch to the bronze Attunement, but
- 29:03there's only for you and your for nearest allies again.
- 29:06So it's not the entire rate, for example.
- 29:08Yeah. There there are things in here
- 29:11which are close to other classes utility, but is limited in how
- 29:18you use them. Because like these, these ones
- 29:20are black and bronze. I can fight I could see this as
- 29:24like, either. Yes, if it is a choice node,
- 29:27then you pick whichever one, you're going to make the most
- 29:30use of in a fight. I could definitely see black,
- 29:34dragonflight being the one. They black, a human being the
- 29:37one that you use most often for progression fights.
- 29:41But then when you, when specific a fights call for it, or when
- 29:45you are just trying to like bum-rush Keys, you go bronze,
- 29:49like all the way. The other one that I thought was
- 29:55very interesting and this is another one that I had to kind
- 29:58of look over twice is the bestow, the Warren Stone, every
- 30:05time I have no idea, I think we're and stone wearin wearing.
- 30:09I don't know, something like that.
- 30:12We'll have to ask. How do you pronounce - sighs?
- 30:15Okay, this is for azimoff. We never pronounce anything
- 30:17right here. We're fine.
- 30:19But you can't repair these Stones one.
- 30:22You keep on you has to be you and one is on a Target Ally.
- 30:28And this is kind of like a two-sided demonic Circle for you
- 30:33and the Buddy, you've chosen. That's exactly what I was saying
- 30:36earlier. I was talking, I streamed
- 30:38briefly. When this was, this was going
- 30:40live in a saying that it's literally, like a demonic Circle
- 30:44for warlocks. Except that the circle is
- 30:47another player. And it's so it's, and, and also
- 30:50like, the monk Transcendence. So, it's called when you leave
- 30:55your copy of yourself. I wonder what, how it's going to
- 30:57work. If both people activated at the
- 31:00same time, are you just going to switch places?
- 31:03Or is it going to be a bit of a delay where one person
- 31:05teleports? And then the other person just
- 31:07doesn't move just teleported right back to the say yeah, that
- 31:11would be horrible. I mean that is definitely
- 31:14something to test, but the way that I see this is, yeah, like
- 31:19you're saying a demonic Circle that automatically updates, its
- 31:22position, sort of a One person Gateway.
- 31:29So you just jump over to to where it is again.
- 31:34Instant implementations even in this here, where the
- 31:40amalgamation, you know, the one that's one, fire one Shadow and
- 31:43the day merge together and we come right off.
- 31:46I forget what they call that fight.
- 31:47Now they changed it part way through testing but you get a
- 31:52stacking debuff on you if you're within 50 yards of one boss, And
- 31:56when they gets too much, you should go to the other side.
- 31:58If you give your friend on the other side, one of these Stones.
- 32:03They go. Oh man.
- 32:04My butt's getting too much. They immediately pop their, the
- 32:09worm Stone. Winding Stone, whatever.
- 32:12And immediately they're over there to do some damage, I'll
- 32:17put it with, put it, whether you're a warlock friend, so, he
- 32:19could Circle back to your side, right?
- 32:23And then, yeah, and I just use it again like.
- 32:25Yeah. There's some good, some, some
- 32:27good, some good place, that could be done with this.
- 32:30And it's it's not game breaking, but it's fun new toys to play
- 32:34with. And the last because these are
- 32:36both talents and the last time that they showcase was
- 32:38blistering scales, which is basically Thorns like old-school
- 32:43Thorns, except it also increases armor so you can put it on
- 32:48someone else. And it increases their armor by
- 32:52a percentage of your own. Once again, a lot of it has to
- 32:54do with your own stats and then melee attacks against them cause
- 32:58a scale to explode dealing volcanic damage to enemies near
- 33:02them. So I would think most most often
- 33:05would put this on a tank, they'd get more armor and then they
- 33:09would deal damage to the people around them.
- 33:12Oh yeah. Again another one that I think
- 33:14would be amazing in Mythic place where You're dealing with a lot
- 33:20of things mailing a tank. I also think that A lot of these
- 33:27movement, augmenting, things or even going back to the stone
- 33:34because you're attached to somebody who's hypermobile like
- 33:38imagine you've got the slow AF death knight and that death
- 33:44knight can now get out of Dodge by using the stone to Blink to
- 33:47you. And then you're just like, okay
- 33:50I'm going to go fly ahead super fast because hovers.
- 33:55Part of the class tree. So these are over, they can go
- 33:59around super fast and one lucky person gets to like blink and
- 34:05catch up immediately. It's phenomenal when you think
- 34:09of what evoke occurs, regardless of spec or ready bring And then
- 34:15in addition, you know, if you could get essentially three
- 34:18people out of an AOE, super simple yourself and you would
- 34:22rescue someone. And then the third person would
- 34:25have the WHERE and stone and just teleport to you.
- 34:27I would be real sad if they teleported to you in the middle
- 34:30of e, rescuing and ended up in the middle of the bad.
- 34:36This could be amazing in PvP to like you've got like somebody
- 34:40who flies off you know like oh okay we're not gonna go chasing
- 34:42after them but then the second part.
- 34:44Person immediately latches on because it's like, okay, they
- 34:47the evoked or closed the Gap and now suddenly that big slow guy
- 34:52were trying to kind of heliports in and you're like, ah, I was
- 34:55just trying to get around away from this guy.
- 34:57There's a lot of crazy stuff. Especially yeah.
- 34:59Rescue the third person into for the raffle.
- 35:03Stop as it were. Yeah.
- 35:05Give Paladin's and death Knights charge, basically, yes,
- 35:10Paladin's needed more of a good job but it's exciting.
- 35:18I mean, obviously it's still a first look.
- 35:20And so we don't know too much but but we'll have it on PTR
- 35:24whenever that goes live. I don't, I haven't seen a date
- 35:26yet, but we'll get some. 10.1 5 PTR testing on this Speck at
- 35:33least, so it's not going to be entirely blocked.
- 35:35And going live. No.
- 35:37Yeah and then beyond that. Obviously, we skipped ahead in
- 35:42the notes. We were going to talk about this
- 35:44a bit later but we have to talk about the mega Dungeon Because
- 35:48that's the other big ticket thing that came with this reveal
- 35:53and so this Mega dungeon is all around the bronze dragon fight
- 35:58and the infinite track invite because this one is called dawn
- 36:02of the infinite. We've got an eight boss Mythic
- 36:07only dungeon where you are going to be going across the time
- 36:10ways, to defeat the infinite dragons, and the pictures that
- 36:16they put out in a press release. This is not where we're going to
- 36:20like pass places in time. You know, like the caverns of
- 36:24time. Now, this is unique artwork,
- 36:27which is the actual time ways themselves and and looks
- 36:33beautiful. What We have seen a little bit
- 36:36and dragon fight so far was just like the tip the tip of the
- 36:41spear and they ratcheted it up. It is so amazing.
- 36:48All of those eight bosses. We've already got two confirmed
- 36:53gallic Ron and a Riddick Ron and we were just talking or other.
- 37:01Everybody has watched the wow craft that we had where they sat
- 37:07down and like oh you're gonna want to give us a hint of what's
- 37:10coming up in the future and they put forward.
- 37:12Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:13Galakrond and infinite infinite time dragons.
- 37:18And evil Crow me right and I was like oh my goodness did it just
- 37:24give hints on the rest of the expansion?
- 37:26No. Apparently they hope we're
- 37:28pointing to just this that we were going to get literally
- 37:32days. Well yeah about a week
- 37:35afterwards. Yeah did it actually because I
- 37:38know in the press release there's some there's some photos
- 37:42some screenshots of galakrond dead on the ground.
- 37:46Yep. Are Fighting galakrond it might
- 37:52like day. They've been cagey about it.
- 37:54And from those screenshots, I don't think we're fighting
- 37:57galakrond, I guess it's like Riddick on trying to reanimate
- 38:01him or something, or the infinite trying to do stuff.
- 38:04Because in the pictures, we have seen some crazy artwork and an
- 38:12actual photos of stuff, the sand Elemental boss, which looks
- 38:15fantastic. I It is like the least exciting
- 38:19in terms of Laura ramifications. Even cromie being detailed.
- 38:25Looks amazing. More Chi looks amazing.
- 38:31You know I've never wanted to play dwarf before but get some
- 38:36of that evil chromey stuff and I might roll them to a gnome.
- 38:44They yeah, go ahead. They also have in the images, a
- 38:51side-by-side of keeper tear with infinite keeper tear.
- 38:59And he said nothing about that in a minute but that's huge.
- 39:03It's just a concept art. But still, if there's concept
- 39:08art and they release it, you know we're going to see it.
- 39:11Yes. There's actually a lot to be
- 39:14gleamed from that concept art. If you look at that picture,
- 39:20right? You have the regular tear but
- 39:23when you look at the infinite tear, he's got the silver hand.
- 39:28It is the only thing with evil. It's glowing with the in evil
- 39:32Infinite Energy but it's clearly the silver hand.
- 39:35So he's not like some reborn version that we're working on.
- 39:39He's again corrupted evil time way sort of thing.
- 39:44Is he the power behind the infant's or has Mirrors 'and
- 39:49ascended to such a level that he can corrupt even tear who made
- 39:54him? I would actually be just because
- 39:57of a simple. Little detail on the concept art
- 40:00tear infinite tear has kind of like a crackle in his chest and
- 40:06it looks like a wound like something pierced him and that's
- 40:10where the corruption comes from. So I feel like it might even be
- 40:15actual morose and who has found an alternate Earth tear in a
- 40:19different timeline and corrupted him.
- 40:25Yeah there's felt like the ramifications are huge and this
- 40:31is happening in a mega dungeon the fact that we have a ridic
- 40:35Ron an encounter with a Riddick Ron.
- 40:37In a mega dungeon that can't be our timeline version that's got
- 40:42to be like yeah we wanted you to fight this model because you
- 40:45didn't really get to fight the original model for a grand and
- 40:48he's going to be that much worse in the future.
- 40:51That's kind of thinking, right? Because right.
- 40:55They're obviously building it really grown up to be the big
- 40:58bad of this expansion. And the fact that in the press
- 41:02release, we see you ready Grand next to gallic, Ron's corpse or
- 41:08body. And so my theory is exactly the
- 41:12same as yours that we go back in time.
- 41:14Somehow for some reason and maybe this is pre, maybe this is
- 41:19the moment where you Riddick Ron realizes that he needs to fight
- 41:24that. Aspects, although the aspects
- 41:26haven't become aspects yet. So, I don't know, I'd say
- 41:31interesting, but I was also on the point of like, I don't think
- 41:34it can be our timeline that would occur on, unless it really
- 41:37cron, is there to like try to corrupt the store mood to become
- 41:42MERS on. There's a lot of unclear hints
- 41:46here. There is this unclear.
- 41:51What allegiances, what deals did a Riddick Ron Forge, and the
- 41:58infinite time line is not there. Either, the infinite dragon
- 42:02fight is not one that ever came to my mind in a million years.
- 42:07Like if you want to defeat the aspects, their evil counterparts
- 42:11just seem like it's not the enemy of my enemy is just
- 42:15another version of them and I don't want you to go bad, I just
- 42:18want you gone like in, right? Team.
- 42:20So strange that they would they are the strangest.
- 42:23Bedfellows that I never saw it coming.
- 42:26I'm glad we are going into this direction to actually explore it
- 42:28though because I obviously we're going to visit the infant
- 42:33dragonflight at some point. I don't know why but I never
- 42:37felt like it was going to be its own patch.
- 42:40So a .5 patch seems to just right.
- 42:44There's enough things to be resolved that you can do that in
- 42:48a semi short like one patch questline.
- 42:52But I don't think there's so much that it would feel kind of
- 42:55dragged out if we had to do with Marissa and for a full expansion
- 42:59for example. So perhaps this could be a, I'm
- 43:03still intrigued to see if are we going to see the All of my store
- 43:06mu because it is called the dawn of the infinite, or are we going
- 43:11to be thwarted in that far? We're going to Aid, cromie and
- 43:15actually saving a storm. Ooh, yeah.
- 43:18That would be a big thing. We have seen aspects falling and
- 43:23coming back and being replaced. And all of that has been a big
- 43:29story of the of the Dragon Isles of dragon flight.
- 43:34The black dragons right now, in 10.0 or other 10.1 they're
- 43:39having their time in the in the Limelight, but supposedly
- 43:45somewhere in the patch that we're currently in, there is
- 43:48stuff for the blue, dragonflight haven't seen any of that.
- 43:52So far the green dragon flight there was some stuff that was
- 43:57Data mind. We had a good Focus, bringing
- 44:00back your Sarah in the initial patch, The end like the initial
- 44:07line sort of brought everybody somewhat back together again but
- 44:11to have mirrors on descend at this time and to see more Chi
- 44:19makes you go who in the world would lead the bronze dragon
- 44:23flight if those two disappeared, right?
- 44:26Because that's I my my first thought would be if the storm
- 44:30ooh, is, is gone. Then Chrome, we would have to
- 44:32step up Step Up. Right?
- 44:34And we there's no other bronze dragon that can fit that role.
- 44:39And I don't think the existence of more Qi means that we cannot
- 44:44have chromey step up because we have more sound for like since
- 44:49since you know since forever. And we still have no storm, but
- 44:55we haven't seen that switch. So it is like because I just
- 45:00means that eventually Chrome is also going to follow.
- 45:02So you know unless it's a An alternate timeline.
- 45:05You know there's time that you want.
- 45:07My tinfoil hat Theory, I love it.
- 45:09Yes, please. Okay, the reason that MERS on
- 45:16Finally Falls and becomes infinite or other rather
- 45:19Northern Wood becomes more Zone and falls and becomes infinite
- 45:23is to save Pro me from becoming more Chi like she's the one in
- 45:27her desperation to try and save. Norse tomu cracks and starts
- 45:34becoming infinite. And so, rather than let her
- 45:36fall, he takes her place as he was always destined to do.
- 45:40And if that's what happened, what happens.
- 45:42And that's what, like, remember the initial questing when you
- 45:46got to the flight and she's like, we'll find a way you won't
- 45:50fall or if that is actually the way it was always fated to be.
- 45:55I'm going to cry. I'm gonna cry.
- 45:57I'm like I almost I like I got so teary eyed in that Like that
- 46:01cinematic. So, if that happens, yeah, I'll
- 46:04be crying because, you know, if, if chromey falls, there's no one
- 46:10left. Like she's the the hope of the
- 46:13bronze dragon fight in many ways.
- 46:14And so, I could definitely see Morris on another storm.
- 46:18Oh, oh my goodness, what do you say?
- 46:21Yeah, I wanted to say this dormammu sacrificing himself.
- 46:25Yeah. But and I've kind of felt like,
- 46:30you know, if They keep doing this.
- 46:32That would be, we would only have alexstrasza left, ask the
- 46:37original aspect. Deathwing's gone malygos is
- 46:41gone, is Sarah is Technically she's back, but she's not the
- 46:45aspect anymore. Marissa has been given the title
- 46:48of dreamer. So, I don't think we'll a,
- 46:54there's no red dragon that I can think of that would fit that
- 46:58bill. So I think we're, I think, I
- 47:01would stress us safe for now. I honestly think that it would
- 47:05just be a good storyline for, like, for alexstrasza to be the
- 47:11last remaining of the ogee flight.
- 47:14Like, she's the leader and she's lost all of her clutch mates and
- 47:17stuff. And that that's a heavy burden
- 47:20for her to carry. That's got a lot of Drama in it
- 47:23to like move that forward. So that could be a face a face
- 47:28for her. And maybe she then quietly
- 47:32retires lead. Bringing up somebody, because
- 47:37you get to spend time with with you Sarah.
- 47:39But there's still another major patch.
- 47:42Who knows what's gonna happen? Yeah, right.
- 47:44Like it's it is fantastic. But I'm really glad that Even
- 47:49with all these teases, they just raised more questions of where
- 47:53it's going to go. I'm very excited for it.
- 47:56It's going to be a good Mega dungeon, I think and it looks
- 47:58gorgeous. Like you say it's just it looks
- 48:01great, they all they all do, but I'm very excited to spend some
- 48:04time in there. Oh yeah.
- 48:06And of course there's a couple of other smaller things that
- 48:09they have put into these Two articles, one of them is that
- 48:16we're what I think is going to be just a new daily Quest Hub,
- 48:19they have eons Fringe where you will undertake repeatable
- 48:22content in eons Fringe, as you work to settle the time ways and
- 48:26solve the problems brought about by their instability while
- 48:29reaping, the rewards of a job. Well done, that honestly reads
- 48:32as hey, there's a new Quest hub for you to go around and catch
- 48:38up on renowned and all that sort of stuff.
- 48:40Exactly. And there.
- 48:41That's where the the The dungeon will be kind of like Megan.
- 48:45I don't think it's going to be quite as developed as my fur
- 48:47gone, but something like that. I agree.
- 48:51And on that same note, as they call something called time
- 48:54Rifts, which is it sounds like it's just going to be assaults
- 48:59or invasions where they Rifts open up and there's events.
- 49:07They become more unstable. And there's boundaries, been the
- 49:09timelines weekend minions from other timelines have begun
- 49:13making their way into asteroth. So you will go into time Rifts
- 49:16push back against the waves of minions and plug the hole to set
- 49:19the time way straight again. So if you're going into these
- 49:24time Rifts, what I want from these is I want them to be kind
- 49:30of like Diablo where it's like, here's a instant sort of event.
- 49:36You go in and you fight wave against wave.
- 49:40You do a quick cue up. If you He would rather than it
- 49:44being the events that we've been having so far in dragonflight
- 49:49where you have to be in a particular area.
- 49:51And that's when the event comes and people can show up late in
- 49:54that I, I am happy for those and I was playing the researchers
- 50:01Under Fire and I think that's fun, but I don't think they
- 50:06should keep going back to that same.
- 50:08Well, all of the time because we'll get tired of of it.
- 50:13I think they can mix it up a bit.
- 50:16I agree. I honestly have not spent a lot
- 50:18of time in in, in the assaults this suspension.
- 50:20So yeah. I'm on the same page as you.
- 50:26In terms of other content, we've got the wealth daycare, which I
- 50:33think is a cute fun little bit of content.
- 50:37Where the, the daycare center that is in val Drakken is
- 50:43getting overwhelmed. So now you get to help them look
- 50:46after different, little, well, pleadings of five different
- 50:51flights. I think that's wonderful.
- 50:54Hope that obviously they'll give us stuff like renowned and that,
- 51:01but I'm hoping that this is something where they'll have
- 51:05their little stories, and maybe we'll introduce characters that
- 51:07will come around later. Like, oh, that wealth that you
- 51:11first met here, like, fun. Just a bunch of expansions
- 51:15later. That's the, that's the Drake,
- 51:17that's helps you out. And another point is, That'd be
- 51:20really cool. Yeah, I like that.
- 51:22It's just cute right? You just get to take care of
- 51:24some whelps and I like the idea it made me think of a couple
- 51:30couple days ago, someone shared about, you know, the Oh,
- 51:37goodness, what are they called? The the nether Drake's?
- 51:40Yeah, and Outland, I forgot all about this, but there's a good
- 51:46old rep grind to get those mounts, but the amounts that we
- 51:50fly are actually dragons that have, this is forms.
- 51:56Like when you get those mounts, it's from a quest and the quest
- 52:00says, thank you for helping us. I will come flying with you as
- 52:05your companion. And then you get that person
- 52:07that dragon as a mount. And so anyway, I just made me
- 52:10think of I like those things in general.
- 52:13I like the quest lines where you can, you stop little hatchling a
- 52:16little whelp, like the Ravis or and un'goro or the winter spring
- 52:20saber in Winter Spring and then you get to grow them.
- 52:23And then eventually, you either get a mount or a pet.
- 52:26Or I really like the idea of will see them further down the
- 52:29line as a semi important. NPC that be fun.
- 52:34Yeah, speaking about mounts. One thing that is not on the
- 52:39show notes that they put into the roadmap was that they were
- 52:45going to have a dragon riding event.
- 52:47In kalimdor. Kalimdor Grand Prix.
- 52:52I am super excited, I am like I am excited for people.
- 52:59I have not done any dragon racing at all this expansion.
- 53:02and I intend to do it eventually when I get like a little bit
- 53:06more time to do other stuff like this is going to be my like,
- 53:10last hurrah for dragonflight is going around and doing all the
- 53:13dragon races and trying to get gold and everything that that's
- 53:16what I'll save it all up for but this means that you can
- 53:21potentially what this seems to indicate is that you could use
- 53:25dragon writing in the old world and that's going to be
- 53:30fantastic. Yeah, I mean they've mentioned
- 53:34or they've already confirmed that they're going to have it
- 53:37continuously in future, expansions the in is confirmed
- 53:41that in interviews, but it sounds very much like unless
- 53:44it's like literally you queue up for something and you can only
- 53:48use your dragon writing mount in this event, which I hope it's
- 53:52not, but it could be. It sounds like you'll actually
- 53:55be able to just use your dragon riding Mount.
- 53:58In kalimdor in the old world, which is huge.
- 54:02Like, I want this, this Grand Prix to be a little Loop of
- 54:07kalimdor where you started hyjal and you just go all the way down
- 54:11to silithus and then back up these goes through theramore,
- 54:16like through old loop around that old crater, and then all
- 54:19the way back up to. Hi Joel.
- 54:22Yeah, that could be pretty crazy.
- 54:24I think some places are more suited for Dragon riding than
- 54:27other places. Like if you have to fly low in
- 54:30Thousand needles. Yes.
- 54:31If you have to like, go around those tall trees and froze,
- 54:34amazing. If you are going around like
- 54:37something like the Barons, it's not as exciting.
- 54:44Yeah, it's true. Yeah, the first place that came
- 54:49to mind was for Alice. I feel like there's some cool at
- 54:51the trees and and dire Maul. Like it could do some stuff
- 54:55through those hoops and those arches.
- 54:57And yeah so that's something that I think has a lot more
- 55:04implications than like it's solo a list of things.
- 55:09Yeah that's like oh wait a second it's that Dragon riding
- 55:11everywhere because if you could do it in calendar, why not have
- 55:15it opened up into like Eastern kingdoms?
- 55:17Azure Pandaria or anything like that.
- 55:20And invoker's can already do that.
- 55:23I could focus can use the racial to quote unquote, Dragon ride in
- 55:28the old Stones. I'm so upset that of ochre
- 55:30Dragon riding doesn't have like the Vigor so I can like just
- 55:33keep going. Like, what did they not?
- 55:35Like just I would much rather kind of like the worgen, like
- 55:40go, you know, when they're there mount for mrs.
- 55:42Them on the floor legs, I would love to have that.
- 55:44That type of dragon writing as Anna poker.
- 55:47Fun. Yeah, speaking of different
- 55:53races, warlocks are coming to more races than ever before.
- 55:59With ten point one point five. Warlocks are going to be able to
- 56:04train up as night, elves draenei like Forge deny pan.
- 56:09Darien cool, Taryn Turin, high mountain Terror Turin, man,
- 56:14quarks and zandalari trolls like Fortune.
- 56:17What I'd really yeah. Mag her Orcs.
- 56:20You'd think they'd already learned their lesson.
- 56:22Really? Like, I hope that high mountain
- 56:27torrent The with this get to use.
- 56:30What was that? It what were the high mountain
- 56:32torrents that like fell under the Legion of the intelligent?
- 56:37So what are called? Wasn't the grimtotem grimtotem
- 56:39sort of the original bad Torrance.
- 56:41These were Lyle told him was held over and they were felt
- 56:44Odom. Yeah, that makes sense.
- 56:46Yeah, I wouldn't mind felt oh, And I'm coming in as like a
- 56:48little story thing and getting a little more customizations
- 56:52regardless warlocks for everybody.
- 56:55And more than that, we're like pets, getting a little love to
- 56:59because they're allowing for customization.
- 57:02All of these pets that you could do in the barbershop and a quest
- 57:06called beginning in positions that will unlock a pet
- 57:14customization, as well. And there's already the succubus
- 57:19and Incubus choice that you can make.
- 57:22But, I mean good more customization power to the
- 57:26people and just kind of like, Druids, you go to the barbershop
- 57:29and choose your, your shape-shift form.
- 57:32That's what you'll do with your imp seems like.
- 57:36Yeah. And hopefully, you can now
- 57:37actually, like, name your imp and that sort of customization,
- 57:41you can do that before. We just have a know you're going
- 57:43too far now. Don't you do it?
- 57:46Do it. But yeah, other than that,
- 57:51there's going to be some returning player improvements,
- 57:54which they gave zero detail about and of course class
- 57:58updates and tuning specifically, they mention, Mages Rogues and
- 58:03holy Paladin's, getting some love.
- 58:07And I think that is going to be great.
- 58:10I know holy Paladin's have been feeling like the redheaded
- 58:14stepchild for a little bit, so, As much as Mages haven't been
- 58:19super happy either. I think Frost may just have been
- 58:24decent. It's just Arcane.
- 58:25Mages have been crying like a lot and fire made just recently
- 58:28got nerfed. So yeah.
- 58:30Okay Improvement for Mages will take it will take it.
- 58:35There's I mean, it's a pretty hefty 10.1 dot 5 patch.
- 58:40I I sewn maybe sounds like eons Fringe Mega dungeon new spec.
- 58:47I mean this is a beefy patch a new spec is bigger than any yeah
- 58:53minor patch ever period. I like fight me on it.
- 58:58Send your emails into fast podcast.
- 59:00I don't think I like I not in a million years not in the year
- 59:072023. What I have seen a volkers
- 59:11getting Aid additional spec in a small patch.
- 59:16Yeah. 10.2 was like maybe 10.3 but tender 15.
- 59:21I mean, it makes sense. It's a good time because the
- 59:23season most of the like the competitive part of the season
- 59:27is kind of ended and it's not going to be fresh for season 3.
- 59:32So it makes sense but I'm still very surprised.
- 59:36Yeah, I mean I say that but then I immediately think of my PVP
- 59:41friends shoutout to Jairus are and the guy said Tech PVP who
- 59:46had to go under the onslaught of Paladin, reworks, and everybody
- 59:51like, oh my goodness, how disruptive that was.
- 59:54That's not helping that of ochres.
- 59:56Don't have that same effect to the PVP ladder.
- 1:00:00But I know for PVE. Yeah, it seems relatively safe.
- 1:00:03People have already done their business as it were, Yeah,
- 1:00:07either way, I think it's exciting news and it's going to
- 1:00:09be an exciting time this coming summer.
