Blizzard is working hard on the The War Within Public Test Realm (PTR) build as many players are constantly testing out updates and providing feedback to the developers to ensure that the next World of Warcraft expansion is as smooth as possible.
This time around, some minor class tuning updates have been introduced as the next expansion is looking to drastically change the core gameplay by adding Hero Talents in an attempt to add more flavor to the different classes. Most of these Hero Talents are marked by unique in-game lore identifiers such as Muradin Bronzebeard, the Mountain King. Having that in mind, we will take a look at all of the changes in the most latest development notes for The War Within PTR.
