User Interface and Accessibility
- Players in Random Battleground matches can no longer see the names of opposing members until the match begins.
- Developers’ notes: We have reinforced the measures taken to prevent players from obtaining information about their potential PvP opponents in advance of a battleground. This is applicable to all rated battlegrounds, unrated battlegrounds, rated brawls, and unrated brawls.
Season of Discovery
- The Abandoned Experiment will no longer play its proc sound effect while you are at maximum stacks.
- Paladin
- Leonid Barthalomew now temporarily exchanges the Scarlet Enclave Holy to Shockadin tier set (in addition to the Retribution to Shockadin set exchange). These will be removed from the vendor list on May 20.
- The Shockadin 6-piece set bonus has been adjusted – Now grants 8% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed while using a one-handed weapon, and 18% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed when using a 2-handed weapon (was 15% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed).
- Enchanting
- Access to the New Avalon Mage Tower now requires Enchanting 280 (was 300), matching the requirements of the rest of the puzzle.
