Blizzard has released new PTR notes for build 41962. The company outlined changes coming to the expansion, including a revamped Wintergrasp and many quality of life improvements across all areas of content. They also address feedback from previous builds regarding talents, Mythic+ dungeons and more. This is an exciting update before patch 9.2 goes live on Friday!
Hiya! Here are this week’s PTR notes:CLASSES

RAIDS AND DUNGEONS
- Tirna Scithe Mists
Drust Spiteclaw’s Bloodletting now has a minimum range of 10 yards and may only be used on players within that range.
- Dying Breath by Drust Spiteclaw now has a considerably smaller impact area. To provide time to play around with it, a warning graphic and delay have been included.
- The duration of the Dying Breath debuff has been lowered to 20 seconds (from 30 seconds), and it is no longer removed immediately when you exit fight.
Developers’ note: We hoped to see Dying Breath used for high-risk/high-reward plays, but players have found that the risk generally outweighed the reward. This update should make the risk more manageable & make the ability more interesting to play around.
Mythic+
- Affixes
Enemies throughout the dungeon carry relics of the First Ones, according to a new seasonal affix called Encrypted. Destroy the relics to summon the Automa of the First Ones and get significant advantages depending on the sequence in which they are destroyed.
REWARDS AND ITEMS
- With their unique flying animation, Mechagon Peacekeeper, Rusty Mechanocrawler, and Scrapforged Mechaspider can now soar into the sky.
PLAYER VS PLAYER is a game in which two players compete against each other.
