With the World of Warcraft The War Within Patch 11.1 PTR live, more and more information is being uncovered by players and the team at Wowhead. Among the plethora of changes, it seems that the new Mythic+ pool is also getting a lot of balancing and updates to accommodate the current meta and gameplay loop.
With that in mind, we will go over the additional tweaks and tuning for Operation: Mechagon Workshop coming to Season 2 of The War Within Patch 11.1. Please keep in mind that the provided information in this article is not final and is subject to change based on player feedback and dev design changes.
