In order to address issues impacting the game service, we’ve temporarily closed Black Temple.

We intend to deploy fixes for it and then re-open the instance during scheduled weekly maintenance (on Tuesday, June 6 in this region).

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Warlocks,

We’ve been reading through the feedback provided over the past week and want to provide an update with a look at the changes you’ll see in the next PTR build.

Affliction

• Unstable Affliction damage increased by 10%.

• Seed of Corruption’s cast time has been reduced to 2 seconds (was 2.5 seconds).

Demonology

• Shadowflame Acolyte has been removed.

• Fel Covenant has been removed.

• Demonic Knowledge has been re-added and is now located where Shadowflame Acolyte was.

• Demonic Knowledge now more reliably procs at a 15% chance.

• Shadow’s Bite has been re-added and is now located where Fel Covenant was.

• Hand of Gul’dan damage increased by 25%.

• Implosion damage increased by 15%.

• Dreadstalker damage increased by 15%.

• Demonbolt damage increased by 20%.

• Bilescourge Bombers’ Soul Shard cost has been reduced to 0 (was 2).

• Umbral Blaze now has a 15/30% chance of occurring (was 8/15%).

• Umbral Blaze now retains remaining damage when reapplied.

• 2-piece tier set bonus adjusted – Demonbolt damage increased 20% (was 15%). Consuming a Demonic Core reduces the cooldown of Grimoire: Felguard by 1 second. This has no effect in PVP combat.

• Dirty Hands has been renamed to Malefic Impact.

Destruction

• Crashing Chaos redesigned – Summon Infernal increases the damage of your next 8 casts of Chaos Bolts by 50% (10% in PvP combat) or your next 8 casts of Rain of Fire by 70% (15% in PvP combat).

• Dimensional Rift damage increased by 15%.

Ripped through the Portal

Regarding Demonology, these adjustments are being made to compensate for Ripped through the Portal not returning to the Demonology talent tree. We want talents to be competitive options against one another and, given the synergistic value of Ripped through the Portal, it’s very difficult for us to adjust it in a way that it becomes an option rather than the right choice.

Demonic Cores

The removal of Demonic Knowledge, Demonic Meteor, and Ripped through the Portal was too much of a push in the direction of reining in Demonology’s mobility. Demonbolt is a cool spell that enables Demonology to be reactive. We don’t want to create a drought of Demonic Cores, but at the same time we don’t want it to be the only generator you cast. By re-adding Demonic Knowledge, the cadence of Demonic Cores should be in a healthier place.

Conclusion

The feedback provided has been extremely helpful and we appreciate the community’s thoughts on the changes we’re making in Fractures in Time. Thank you for the insights provided and we’ll continue to watch for further discussion.
