Patch 9.1: Die neuen PTR Notes vom 21. April

In der Nacht von gestern auf heute haben die für World of Warcraft zuständigen Entwickler von Blizzard Entertainment einen neuen Build auf den derzeit laufenden öffentlichen Testserver von Patch 9.1: Ketten der Herrschaft aufgespielt, der jetzt von allen daran interessierten Testern ausprobiert werden kann. Um die Spieler direkt über alle Auswirkungen dieses Builds zu informieren, veröffentlichte das Entwicklerteam gestern Abend netterweise auch noch neue englische PTR Notes zu dieser Version von Patch 9.1 in den Foren. Diese Patchnotes listen die größeren Änderungen und Neuerungen aus diesem Build auf und sollten von Testern daher zumindest überflogen werden. Laut diesen PTR Notes bestand ein großer Teil dieses neuen Builds aus Spielbalanceänderungen für die unterschiedlichen Klassen von World of Warcraft, die sich sowohl auf das PvP als auch das PvE auswirken. Diese Anpassungen können sich im Verlauf der nächsten Wochen aber jederzeit erneut ändern und sollten daher nicht als finale Änderungen angesehen werden. Zusätzlich dazu beinhaltete diese neue Version von Patch 9.1 auch noch die Dailys für Korthia, Kapitel 3-5 der Paktkampagne, Kampfhaustiere für Korthia, eine neue Teleportfunktion zu den Dungeons von Shadowlands und einige weitere kleinere Verbesserungen.   9.1.0 Chains of Domination PTR Notes – April 21 Updates: Chains of Domination PTR Notes – April 21 Updates CLASSES Demon Hunter Havoc Demon’s Bite damage increased by 15%.
