World of Warcraft: Dragon flight just introduced players to the Zaralek Cavern and Aberrus, Deathwing’s abandoned lab. But there are already more adventures on the horizon and Blizzard has announced the next patch. Fractures in Time, the title of patch 10.1.5, includes a third specialization for our new Dracthyr Evoker friends, as well as a mega dungeon, more warlocks, and a host of smaller changes.
The Dracthyr Evoker does dragon flight‘s new race/class combination. The Dracthyr are bipedal dragon people, and they currently specialize in either Preservation to heal their allies or Devastation to destroy their enemies. The third specialization arriving in Fractures in Time is the game’s first “supporting” specialization: Augmentation. Augmentation Evokers use the powers of the time-travelling Bronze Dragonflight to power up their allies.
Speaking of the Bronze Dragonflight, players will face their corrupt nemesis once again. The Infinite Dragonflight plays five-dimensional chess across the timeways, and players often have to jump into dungeons and preserve past timelines to prevent their plans. Dawn of the Infinite is a new eight-boss Mythic-only dungeon that showcases different timelines, all of which are at risk of Infinite meddling.
Warlocks are about to become more popular. The fierce-wielding caster class becomes available for all remaining races (except the Dracthyr), meaning we’ll see Night Elf, Draenei, Pandarean, Zandalari, and Tauren warlocks running around. Warlocks also get new pet customization options, allowing them to perfect their personal demon stable.
Fractures in Time also includes balance changes, a dragon cub daycare, and Time Rift public events. There is currently no release date for this next patch, but players still have plenty to discover in Zaralek Cavern and Aberrus.
