Patch 7.1.5 of World of Warcraft is coming soon. The patch notes are already available. They are now also fully available in English.
With the new year, the first patch in World of Warcraft is also coming. Tomorrow, starting from January 11, 2017, the update 7.1.5 will be deployed to the European servers of World of Warcraft. In America, the patch is already live, so we can take a sneak peek at the highlights of the patch notes to look at the biggest changes.
Profession-wise, Inscriptionists can especially rejoice. The strong Vantus Runes, which made boss fights easier, are going to become even more powerful. Instead of granting 1,000 Versatility, they will now provide 1,500 Versatility, while the crafting costs have also been reduced by 50%. In the long term, all raiders should benefit from this, as they will be able to use the runes more frequently.
Engineers can get their own shoulder enchant through a fresh quest. This will give new recipes for engineer glasses, which have a stylish base item level of 880 and should represent a strong upgrade for many players.
There are also a few adjustments for PvP players that one should prepare for. The “dampening” effect in 2v2 arenas now starts right at the beginning of a match, where the healing received continues to decline every few seconds. This will ensure that healer duels become a rarity, as they will lose their effectiveness earlier – this was a struggle for many in the arena.
Summary of the new patch: WoW: Patch 7.1.5 is live and here’s what to expect – class changes in detail, combat guild, and more.
In addition to the already extensive class changes, there is also a comprehensive revision of all legendary items. Many are now stronger or weaker than before, as the overall goal was to make them roughly equivalent. Only the legendaries that are only useful in special situations have mostly been left untouched.
Update January 11, 17:45: The patch notes in English are finally here. The class changes are still not translated into English.
Update November 13, 19:00: The class changes are now also translated into English. Here are the English patch notes.
Did you know that the stealth sound is a bug that still exists in the game today?
