WoW TWW 11.1 All Changes to Dungeons

With the new The War Within "Undermine(d)" hitting live servers, Blizzard has posted some very significant patch notes, detailing all of the changes, additions and quality-of-life adjustments to World of Warcraft.

With that being said, we will take a look at all of the changes to Dungeons for WoW TWW 11.1 so you can stay up to date and make use of the new ways to experience Mythic+ as well as how you can gear up in Season 2.

The War Within Dungeon Changes

Mythic+

• Baseline Mythic (aka “Mythic 0”) dungeons will now award Champion-track gear from each boss, with a weekly instance lockout. The health and damage of enemies in those dungeons has increased to reflect the improved rewards, while keeping Mythic 0 an accessible point of entry for players beginning their Season 2 gearing journey, and those looking to learn dungeons in a lower-stakes environment.
• From Mythic 2 through 10, each new level will now increase the health and damage of enemies by 7%, down from the previous 10%. Per-level scaling will remain at 10% for Mythic 11 onwards.
• The requirements to achieve some key reward tiers have been reduced (e.g. Hero-track gear is now available in end-of-run chests from Mythic 6 dungeons; Gilded crests are available from Mythic 7 and up).
• Mythic+ keystones will be set to Mythic Level 2 at the start of Season 2.
• New achievement: The War Within Keystone Legend: Season Two
  • Requirement: Attain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 3000 during The War Within Season Two.
  • Reward: Enterprising Shreddertank mount
• Finish all eight seasonal dungeons at Mythic 12 within the timer, the keystone will no longer automatically delevel below 12; once all dungeons at Mythic 13 are timed, the new floor will be 13; and so on for all key levels at or above 12.
  • Keystone from the weekly vault will not decay below level 12.
  • Keystone can still be lowered below level 12 by speaking to Lindormi.
  • Players will get the quest "A Challenger's Resilience" from Lindormi once they've timed all dungeons at +12 that unlocks the system and teaches them how Resilient Keystones work.

Mythic+ Affixes

• The Xal’atath’s Bargain rotating affixes will move up from Mythic 2 to Mythic 4, leaving no affixes (other than the existence of a timer) at the two entry levels of the M+ system.
• The alternating cycle of Tyrannical and Fortified will move up from Mythic 4 to replace the Challenger’s Peril affix at Mythic 7, with the other one continuing to take effect at Mythic 10.
• At Mythic 12, instead of an additional 10% increase to enemy health, Xal'atath's Guile will now include the increased timer penalty for deaths that was formerly part of Challenger’s Peril, as a replacement for the rotating Bargain affixes. While the mechanic could feel overly punishing for groups still learning and progressing towards gear rewards, a focus on clean execution remains appropriate for the upper echelons of the system, and removing the extra 10% stats should make the transition into the prestige tiers of the system feel like less of a wall.
• Unified enemy buffs on all Xal'atath's Bargain affixes with Xal'atath's Gift, increasing damage done up to 50% and reducing damage taken up to 100% for 20 seconds on all nearby enemies in combat.
• New Affix: Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar – While in combat, Xal'atath summons pulsars that orbit players. Replaces Xal'atath's Bargain: Oblivion in Season 2.
• Xal'atath's Guile now causes keystones above level 12 to increase health and damage of enemies by 12% per level (was 10%).
• Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound has been redesigned:
  • Dark Prayer is no longer a channel, and the Void Emissary no longer grants damage reduction to creatures while active.
  • Dark Prayer now has a 15-second cast time and grants all nearby creatures in combat Xal'atath's Gift when it finishes casting.
• Potency of Xal'atath's Gift granted by Dark Prayer is based on the remaining shield percentage on the Void Emissary.

Cinderbrew Meadery

• Tasting Room Attendant’s Thirsty Duration changed to 20 seconds (was unlimited).
• Careless Hopgoblin’s Reckless Delivery cooldown increased.
• Royal Jelly Purveyor’s Honey Volley cooldown increased.

Darkflame Cleft

Minecart Event

• The minecart’s candle light now burns more slowly.
• Default light radius increased.
• The light radius of candles now have a visual indicator.
• Shuffling Horror no longer uses Shadow Smash.
• Reduced the area effect size of Suffocating Darkness.

Priory of the Sacred Flame

• Ardent Paladin Consecration now has a precast visual and a 2.75 second cast time.
• Ardent Paladin no longer uses Seal of Light’s Fury.
• Zealous Templar no longer uses Templar Strike and Divine Storm.
• Arathi Footman no longer uses Mortal Strike.

The Rookery

• Kyrioss now has an increased hitbox range during Lightning Torrent.
• Cursed Rookguard no longer uses Crackling Crush.
• Void-Cursed Crusher no longer uses Implosion.

And that covers the most important tidbits of the changes to Dungeons available in patch 11.1. Best of luck on your runs, and remember to have fun in this new goblin-themed adventure.
