World of Warcraft Version 10.1.5 PTR – Fractures in Time WARLOCK Added 2 new Imp color customization options in this week’s ptr update.Developers’ note: Customizing your demons in the Barbershop is still under development and will be available in a future PTR update. Glyph of the Observer is being deprecated and will no longer be an available customization option for felhunters.Developers’ note: With the arrival of the new warlock pet customization system coming in Fractures in Time, we will deprecate the Glyph of the Observer customization.Our reason for this is to ensure that each demon retains a similar silhouette across all available customizations, so that each demon and the functionality or power they provide to the warlock is easily understood by other players as well as the warlock.AfflictionDevelopers’ note:The number of casts required for Affliction to be properly setup is high and something that can feel especially punishing in multi-target situations and PVP. We are replacing Malefic Affliction and implementing changes to Dread Touch and Doom Blossom to make Affliction’s rotation more accessible and less punishing.
Malefic Affliction has been removed. New Talent: Xavius’ Gambit – Unstable Affliction deals 15/30% increased.
