WoW datamine suggests Blizzard is drastically altering how raiding works

For years, the golden rule of raiding has at all times been to deliver courses that provide raid-wide buffs like Shamans and Mages for Bloodlust and Clergymen for Energy Infusion. However this might be shaken to its core in World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.2.5.

On Nov. 16, Blizzard revealed the upcoming patch, and whereas it is going to embrace minor adjustments and tweaks to outdated world content material, Wowhead datamined information suggesting particular new objects are coming to the sport.

Seeds of Renewal will include two trinkets and one neck that may equip any class with a Bloodlust effect, a resurrection, and bonus harm. 

Chaos Model, the primary merchandise, will enhance the magic harm your goal takes by 5 p.c. Whereas this doesn’t appear to be an enormous deal, a 5 p.c harm enhance could be extremely useful to all casters, together with Mages, Druids, Clergymen, and Warlocks.

Blood of Mannoroth will, however, include the Bloodlust impact. This merchandise will permit extra courses like Demon Hunters and Dying Knights to discover a spot in raids, and so they’ll now not want to purchase Feral Cover Drums to remain aggressive.

Lastly, Ankh of Reincarnation (the neck) will resurrect you upon receiving deadly harm. This implies you might simply cheese mechanics in each raid and Mythic+ settings, and nonetheless come out on prime. 

This might be only the start and Blizzard might introduce a ton of different related buffs through trinkets and different objects. However none of this has been confirmed to date, so it might all simply be a placeholder for one thing else. I imagine this might boost how raid compositions look as a result of extra courses would have entry to totally different instruments.

One other rationalization is that is meant for NPC followers for the upcoming characteristic, Follower Dungeons. This implies you’ll be able to deliver NPCs to dungeons to offer you a serving to hand. I’m hoping this gained’t be the case, and that Blizzard has nice plans for raiding in Patch 10.2.5.
