Blizzard has announced the dungeon and affix changes coming in the War Within Season 1 including 4 new affixes (Reckless, Thorned, Attuned, Focused) and the retirement of several others.
Greetings!
With The War Within beta now underway, we are excited to share additional updates regarding dungeons and the affix system.
Heroic & Mythic Dungeons
In Dragonflight Season 4, we experimented with our existing dungeon difficulty progression to offer additional endgame options for players who enjoy more methodical dungeon gameplay. This updated dungeon difficulty progression is also an opportunity for players that do enjoy Mythic Keystones to have a place to build mastery over dungeons before the pressures of a timer kick in.
You can read more about those changes in depth here. We plan to continue this model of progression into The War Within with some exciting updates!
- Normal
This difficulty is unchanged. - This difficulty always includes our 8 War Within dungeons.
Heroic - The tuning and rewards of this difficulty are increasing to be equivalent to a baseline Mythic (Mythic 0) dungeon in the previous system.
- New mechanics and other adjustments from Mythic will not be present in this difficulty.
- This remains a queueable experience.
- Starting with Season 1 of The War Within, Heroic dungeon difficulty will feature our roster of seasonal dungeons.
Mythic - The tuning and rewards of this difficulty are increasing to the equivalent of a +10 dungeon with affixes in the previous system.
- There are no timers, affixes, or limitations on changing specializations or talents while in the dungeon.
- The goal is to create a mega-dungeon like difficulty for this experience. This difficulty should present a meaningful challenge and provide commensurate rewards without the pressure of the Mythic+ system.
- Starting with Season 1 of The War Within, Mythic difficulty will feature our roster of seasonal dungeons.
- Mythic difficulty will be unavailable until with the War Within Season 1 begins.
