More World of Warcraft Legion hotfixes are inbound, and a new patch 7.1 build is being deployed on the Public Test Realm (PTR).
A new Warcraft week means a new PTR build alongside hotfixes for the live version of the Legion expansion. Last week’s hotfixes included changes to the Emerald Nightmare raid, Mythic + dungeons.
The hotfixes for this week are less extensive. As always, come of these changes will take effect immediately, while others require scheduled maintenance.
Emerald Nightmare
Heart of Corruption
On Mythic difficulty, the Corruptor Tentacle that previously spawned at 225 seconds into the fight now spawns at 235 seconds, and the Deathglare Tentacle that previously spawned at 240 seconds into the fight now spawns at 250 seconds.
The Spear of Rethu polearm now scales properly from character level 1 to 100, now properly appears in the heirloom list, and is now correctly a 2-handed weapon.
As said, a new patch 7.1 build (22797) is being released on the PTR as well, and includes new PVP achievements, prestigious mounts, data updates, a mouse cursor fix, and more.
