Patch 7.2: Es wurden weitere Raidtests angekündigt

In der vergangenen Nacht hat sich World of Warcrafts Game Director Ion „Watcher“ Hazzikostas wieder einmal in den Battle.Net Foren zu Wort gemeldet und dort dann in einem kurzen Bluepost verkündet, dass die Entwickler dieses Titels am kommenden Freitag, den 17. Februar 2017, weitere Raidtests auf dem derzeit laufenden PTR zu Patch 7.2: Das Grabmal des Sargeras durchführen möchten. Während dieser mehrstündigen Testphase können dann alle daran interessierten Tester erneut in die heroische Variante des Grabmals des Sargeras eindringen und dort dann zusammen mit ihrem Schlachtzug gegen die beiden Encounter „Demonic Inquisition“ und „Mistress Sassz’ine“ kämpfen.

Zusätzlich zu diesen zeitlich leider sehr limitierten Raidtests soll am kommenden Wochenende dann auch noch eine etwas längere Testphase für die normale Schwierigkeit dieses kommenden Schlachtzugs stattfinden, die den Spielern auf dem PTR die normalen Versionen der vier zu diesem Zeitpunkt testbar gewesenen Bosse „Goroth“, „Demonic Inquisition“, „Harjatan“ und „Mistress Sassz’ine“ zum Ausprobieren zur Verfügung stellen wird. Weitere Informationen zu den Tests der normalen Schwierigkeit werden vermutlich im Laufe des morgigen Abends in einem weiteren Bluepost folgen.

Folgend findet ihr nun neben einigen hilfreichen Fakten zu dem genauen Ablauf dieser anstehenden Raidtests dann auch noch eine Übersicht zu den Mechaniken der morgen Abend auf dem PTR bekämpfbaren Encounter.

On Friday, February 17, we will be conducting a raid test of two more Tomb of Sargeras Heroic bosses. Remember that Heroic difficulty scales for any group size between 10 and 30 players, so feel free to assemble and bring a group of any size within that range.

Friday, February 17

• Demonic Inquisition – Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
• 13:00 PST (16:00 EST, 22:00 CET)

• Mistress Sassz’ine – Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
• 14:00 PST (17:00 EST, 23:00 CET)

After testing concludes on Friday, we plan to open Normal Tomb of Sargeras over the weekend, with Goroth, Demonic Inquisition, Harjatan, and Mistress Sassz’ine available.

Hinweis: Die Zeitangaben weiter oben können sich jederzeit ändern. Dies liegt daran, dass dies eine Testphase ist und die Entwickler jeweils die Zeiten bzw. Bosse nutzen, die ihnen am besten passen.

Demonic Inquisition:

Anticipating the arrival of mortal forces invading the Tomb of Sargeras, Kil’jaeden has called on his best captors, Atrigan and Belac, to lock down the interlopers and prevent them from using the Pillars to advance deeper into the dungeon.

    [Confess] when at full [Torment] to collect Remnants of Hope from Belac’s cage and alleviate [Unbearable Torment].
    Avoid attacking Atrigan and Belac during [Bone Saw] and [Fel Squall] respectively, so you don’t incur additional [Torment].
  • Healers:
    [Confess] when at full [Torment] to collect Remnants of Hope from Belac’s cage and alleviate [Unbearable Torment].
    Stagger dispelling [Echoing Anguish] so as not to inflict the raid to too many instances of [Anguished Outburst] at once.
  • Tanks:
    [Confess] when at full [Torment] to collect Remnants of Hope from Belac’s cage and alleviate [Unbearable Torment].
    Coordinate with the other tank so only one has to [Confess] at a time.
    Avoid attacking Atrigan and Belac during [Bone Saw] and [Fel Squall] respectively, so you don’t incur additional [Torment].
