More World of Warcraft Legion hotfixes are inbound, and a new patch 7.1 build is being deployed on the Public Test Realm (PTR).
A new Warcraft week means a new PTR build alongside hotfixes for the live version of the Legion expansion. Last week’s hotfixes included changes to the Emerald Nightmare raid, Mythic + dungeons.
The hotfixes for this week are less extensive. As always, come of these changes will take effect immediately, while others require scheduled maintenance.
