The Wrath of the Lich King Nostalgia P4 stage PTR test suit is now open, and Blizzard has released a blue sticker description, and the following small editor will highlight the key points for you.
About the Icecap Fortress
In the PTR test suit, the normal difficulty and hero difficulty of all bosses of Icecap Fortress will be opened together, and it should be noted that the hero difficulty has a limit of 50 challenges, which is consistent with version 3.3.5. Currently, PTR test suits do not offer TOC and HTOC equipment suppliers, which is intentional by Blizzard to see what players can do with existing equipment. This is only the first round of ICC testing, which will end at 5 a.m. Beijing time on Saturday, September 2, and subsequent rounds of testing may open TOC and HTOC equipment suppliers.
About the New Titan Rune Dungeon
The PTR test suit has not yet opened a new difficulty Titan Rune dungeon, but Blizzard is sure that there will be a new difficulty Titan Rune dungeon and will also drop new essence currency, and the equipment that can be exchanged for the new essence currency has not yet been determined (guess 258?). ), but Blizzard said that it will be possible to exchange it for the Genshi Salon Evil Iron!
Compared to the "predecessors" such as the Crusader Orb, the value of the Origin Salon Evil Iron is much more valuable because it is the raw material for making the orange axe (25 are required), and all P4 stage new manufacturing equipment drawings also require 1 Origin Salon Evil Iron exchange. Blizzard stated that he did not want to see players use the valuable Frost Emblem in exchange for the Source Saron Evil Iron, so he made this change, and it seems that the Ribs People P4 will be swiping the Titan Rune Dungeon after it opens.
About Orange Axe "Shadow Sorrow"
The point is that Blizzard announced that it will significantly reduce the difficulty of obtaining the Orange Axe. As we all know, the original way to obtain the orange axe is divided into 25 Origin Salon Evil Iron + Rotten Intestine Rotten Face Double Blood → Thousand →Souls trilogy→ 50 Shadow Frost Fragments → kill the Lich King, and in the Lich King's Wrath Nostalgia, players can pick up Shadow Frost fragments without pre-task, and the quest line can be done together while collecting Shadow Frost Fragments. At the same time, the drop of Shadow Frost fragments has also added the guarantee, and the 25-player normal and heroic difficulty of the 5 divisions of the Ice Crown Fortress Guard Boss must now drop 1 Shadow Frost Fragment, and the bottom 5 orange slices a week. Blizzard said that this move is to shorten the acquisition time of Shadow Grief and give more players the opportunity to get the orange axe, and Blizzard expects the acquisition time of Shadow Grief to be 8-10 weeks.
About "New Three Books"
The "New Three", namely the Soul Furnace, the Salon Pit, and the Hall of Reflections, remain the same in difficulty, and their hero difficulty will be rewarded with the Gamma Mode Titan Rune Dungeon. This also means that the gamma mode Titan Rune Dungeon will drop the same level 232 equipment as the "New Three", of course, the focus is on what the new essence currency can be exchanged for, and the answer will be revealed in the next few days.
About career changes
The Hunter has a new "Trap Launcher" skill, which players can learn from the Hunter Trainer, which is available for all-day talent, but cannot be used in arenas and battlefields. Blizzard finally realizes that the little green man can't get mixed up in PVE, and adds the Hunter's late-expansion skill "Trap Launcher", and the hunter's DPS performance in ICC should improve.
Wild Growth, Healing Ring, Ancestor Healing, and Divine Hymn spells have been adjusted to prioritize healing for players over pets. The editor remembers that Blizzard previously posted a blue post saying that it would not make this change, and now it is self-defeating.
Warlock Demon Contract Internal CD reduced from 5 seconds to 1 second and fixed to 10% magic damage, Hellfire will be reset after the end of the regimental battle. The editor does not have a deep understanding of demonics, and it is said that this change has little impact, and it remains to be further tested by players.
