Patch 8.3: Eine Übersicht zu den neuen Essenzen
Auch wenn sich einige der mit Patch 8.2 eingeführten Azerit-Essenzen etwas zu schwer freischalten ließen und das Balancing dieser Effekte nicht unbedingt perfekt war, so stellen diese sammelbaren Vorteile aber dennoch eine im Grunde erfolgreiche Neuerung dar, die weitaus beliebter ist als die alte Mechanik rund um das Freischalten von Azerit-Kräften. Aus diesem Grund haben die Entwickler sich auch dazu entschieden, dieses System mit dem kommenden Patch 8.3: Visions of N‚zoth noch weiter auszubauen und den Spielern eine Reihe von brandneuen Essenzen für ihr Herz von Azeroth zur Verfügung zu stellen. Diese neuen Essenzen werden die Spieler dann ebenfalls wieder über die Interaktion mit den Inhalten aus dem neuen Content Update freischalten können, weshalb an diesen Objekten interessierte Personen den neuen Content nicht einfach ignorieren können werden.
Was die Spielstärke und die Nützlichkeit der neuen Essenzen betrifft, so kann man ohne die finalen Werte des Updates im Moment leider noch nicht mit Sicherheit sagen, wie gut diese Essenzen am Ende sein werden. Allerdings kann man im Moment zumindest schon einmal festhalten, dass die verantwortlichen Designer sich einige kreative Effekte für diese Verbesserungen überlegt haben. Dazu gehören dann beispielsweise ein automatisch ausgelöster Schutz vor dem ersten Tod innerhalb eines Zeitraums von 10 Minuten, ein AoE-Spott für Tanks oder auch eine sonderbare Essenz, die die aktive Essenz von anderen Spielern kopiert und sie ihrem Besitzer einige Zeit lang zur Verfügung stellt.
Die folgende Übersicht listet alle bisher in Patch 8.3 gefundenen Essenzen und ihre jeweiligen Effekte auf.
