Hey all,

Another new Alpha build today, which includes more new additions and changes:

  • New Specializations Unlocked – There are 3 new specializations ready for testing! We’d love any and all feedback about their gameplay, artifact quest lines, abilities, etc.
  • Arms Warrior
  • Subtlety Rogue (EDIT: Apologies. I originally said Protection Paladin here; it’s actually Subtlety)
  • Restoration Shaman
  • Class Talent Status – We’re continuing to iterate on our class talents. This build has many talent revisions scattered around the classes, but an especially significant pass on many of the Mage talents (of all 3 specializations). Feedback there would be quite valuable. The feedback that we’ve gotten so far has lead us to make more significant revisions to several other classes and specs, that you’ll see in future builds, particularly Elemental, Enhancement, Marksmanship, Survival, and Blood.
  • Minor Glyph Status – Minor Glyphs in Legion will not provide any gameplay impact, only cosmetic, and only modifications to existing spells/abilities. However, many existing minor glyphs are being either ‘baked in’, converted into a new spell that you can learn from a book, or turned into a toy, and a few are being removed. We’re in the middle of going through that process, and this build has incomplete data. Stay tuned for the next build, which should have most of those things squared away.

Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback!

EDIT: Also, check out the design notes from the previous build, if you haven’t already as well: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20420212939
