Augmentation Evoker is a ranged DPS spec unlike anything ever before seen in World of Warcraft and it focuses on empowering your allies, manipulating the environment, and providing crucial support during battles.

As Augmentation you’ll find the playstyle familiar if you’re already an Evoker player. It revolves around spending Essences, casting empowered spells, and utilizing a new set of abilities to support your allies, adding a fresh dynamic to all group content such as dungeons, raids and PvP.

TIME RIFTS

Time Rifts are a new hourly world event in Tyrhold. These rifts are portals to alternate timelines, where you will join other players to battle waves of enemies and powerful bosses.

Each Time Rift event includes a variety of quests and mini-games, providing a fun and dynamic experience. Completing these events rewards you with unique artifacts based on the timelines you corrected. The best part? Each reward is unique, ensuring that you never receive the same reward twice. This keeps the excitement high every time a Time Rift opens!

 

WARLOCK PET CUSTOMIZATIONS

Now, you can personalize your minions to match your style and preferences.
This feature is unlocked through a new questline that begins as soon as you log in. Once unlocked, you can access the pet customization options through the barber shop. This allows you to give your demonic companions a fresh look, making them even more fearsome or stylish.

EON'S FRINGE

These fun quests take you to pivotal moments in history, where you will interact with some of your favorite characters like Illidan, Jaina, and Arthas.

Your mission is to ensure these events play out as they should whether their outcomes are good OR bad. These dailies offers a fantastic opportunity to experience and influence the richness of Warcraft’s lore firsthand.
 

WHELPLING DAYCARE

Become a Whelptender at the Little Scales Daycare in Valdrakken where you will help raise five dragon whelps!

Your task is to guide these young dragons as they grow, learn about the dragon flights, and develop their unique abilities. Your efforts will be rewarded with battle pets, achievements, and flightstones, making this a delightful and rewarding activity for all players.
 

MYTHIC FLEX

Mythic Flex is exactly what you think it is, it enables flexible player groups from 10 players, up to the default of 20 players. Just like normal and heroic!
This feature enables lots of potential especially for smaller guilds, but not limited to them.
It's a feature where you'll no longer have to rely on 20 players to start a mythic raid, instead you can do it with your small group of friends.

SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

First of all, we should clarify what is Mythic Flex and what is not...

Mythic Flex will NEVER scale below 10 players. Instance limit is still 20 players.
Mythic Flex is intended to remove the mandatory raid size of 20 players, NOT to reduce the difficulty and flavour of Mythic!
Loot is adjusted based on raid size.
Creatures health and some specific mechanics and spells will scale based on raid size.
It is NOT a difficulty nerf. It may appear easier for a very few players just because it's easier to coordinate 10 players than 20. Mythic will still be a place where only the best raiders can compete.

Although Mythic Flex is not a new concept for us, (successfully implemented on Felsong 8 months ago), its success and future will depend on your feedback gathered over the span of the next few weeks.
Our intention is to make the game better, thus your feedback will play a decisive role as we'll closely keep an eye on it.

WHAT IS CHANGED THEN?

Health, first of all. Every creature inside the mythic raid will scale their HP based on raid size.
Then, some mechanics and spells. A generic example would be mechanics where a specific number of players must soak an ability.

Here is a list with all spells and mechanics changed to work on flex for Aberrus Mythic:

Amalgamation Chamber:
- Gloom Conflagration: required players & split damage scaling

Assault of the Zaqali: 
- Catastrophic Slam: required players & split damage scaling

Rashok the Elder:
- Charged Smash: required players & split damage scaling
- Doom Flames: spawn count is now scaling

Echo of Neltharion:
- Volcanic Heart: debuff count scaling
- Sunder Reality: Portals breaking scaling with player count
