The Season of Discovery Phase 5 PTR Development Notes and Known Issues have been posted on the new PTR forum. As a part of these Development Notes, Blizzard has confirmed that Blackwing Lair will be a 20-player raid, allowing up to 40 players in a single instance, and Zul’gurub will be tuned to 10-player content, allowing up to 20 players.

Blackwing Lair & Zul’Gurub Testing Schedule

Welcome to the public test for Season of Discovery.

Version: 1.15.4
Build: 56400
Date: Aug 29, 2024

Testing Focus

Blackwing Lair and Zul’Gurub

In Season of Discovery, Blackwing Lair is a 20-40 player raid dungeon and Zul’gurub is a 10-20 player raid dungeon. Blackwing Lair is tuned for 20 players but will allow up to 40 players inside the dungeon, and Zul’Gurub is tuned for 10 players but will allow up to 20 inside. The difficulty will not scale or change, and the number of loot drops does not increase or decrease based on the number of participants in the raid.

You will be able to speak with an NPC to port directly into Blacking Lair or Zul’Gurub from Stormwind or Orgrimmar. For raid testing, we’ve enabled character copy from live Season of Discovery realms, as well as having added Molten Core loot, consumables, and other helpful items to the NPC vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

Class Adjustments

Druid

Wild Strikes: The tooltip on the Wild Strikes rune now states it applies to raid.
Dreamstate: Now always triggers from Starsurge, regardless of being a critical strike or not. In addition, it now also increases Arcane damage taken by the target by 20%.
