Hibernate might be an ability that is returning, along with Shroud of Concealment.

The current level of class iteration won’t continue at the same level of intensity throughout the expansion; we’re at the start and things will smooth out over time.

Overall philosophy for 7.1.5 talent revamp is to buff the underperforming talents. Buffs may be number tweaks, design tweaks, replacements. Number tweaks are the most common because they are the easiest.

Survival Hunters are a bit lacking in unique utility. Not a perfect idea on how to fix this quite yet. In addition, the fantasy of a Survival Hunter may not have been sold well at launch.

Survival will have way better traps than BM/MM traps. One idea: if traps persist for some amount of time, without being triggered, then they become empowered. When they are next triggered, they become way stronger.

Elemental Shaman have many cookie-cutter talents; future talent changes will try to balance this better and make specs feels less pigeonholed.

Expect number changes for nearly every spec, and a fair number of talents having design changes and even replacements. Eg four talents across two rows being changed for Mages.

Boomkins feel on the weaker side — their gameplay is solid, but they could use some number tweaking.

Plans to improve legendaries that feel bad to acquire, like Segredo de Sephuz. The jewelry legendaries also have issues where not all specs like the secondary stats.

Prece Desesperada is going baseline, and that talent is replaced with a utility one. also never quite worked out; trying out a design that doesn’t replace Palavra de Poder: Resplendor. Trying to provide an option for players who need an instant heal when Atonement isn’t set up.

Marksmanship Hunters may get some base talent changes in 7.1.5: the Patient Sniper row. Feels required to make the spec fun, a lot more fun than the baseline version. So baseline Marks gameplay will be more heavily inspired by that talent.

Drenar Alma is going baseline for Warlocks: the replacement talent is single-target focused.

Cortar Tendão is back on the GCD because the idea is that the actions you take, which should have an impact, are on the GCD. The first attempt at making Hamstring feel more powerful on the GCD was not up to par, it needs further iterations.

Brewmasters are a bit unintuitive to play. During the beta a long blue post was made explaining their play style, but it is still not obvious and there is work to be done.

One fun tidbit is that the raid and encounter team is fairly large: it's up to around 14 staff.

The Black Market Auction House purposely has no Legion gear; players shouldn't feel compelled to buy current gear. It feels good to keep "fun" items on the BMAH.

Happy with the experience most groups are having in Emerald Nightmare, but gathering feedback and making improvements to future raids like Trial of Valor.

Roll the Bones is a cool ability for rogues, but feels mandatory as Slice and Dice doesn't feel competitive. So in 7.1.5, that will get an upgrade to be a worthy alternative to Roll the Bones.

7.1.5 will address some talent issues, including Marksmanship Hunters, all Warlocks, and Arcane and Frost Mages.

Some specs will have new talents. Eg the MM talent made the rotation feel really good, so that functionality should be baseline.

Subjugados is likely having a redesign to be stronger; Impaciente is currently too strong next to it.

Traps are returning for all hunters because they are an iconic part of being a hunter.

Players can help Blizzard test new class changes by trying out underplayed specs, play the one you like, and put effort into it to ensure there is a variety of class data.

Artifact changes in 7.2 will include more traits on the small “bronze” traits, they will go up to 4, as well as new traits to put points into.

The solo challenges to unlock artifact appearances are designed to make your class shine.

Demon Hunters are doing well in Legion. Havoc has their niche and is strong in dungeon groups. For Vengeance, skilled ones do well in dungeons, but Blizzard is looking at inexperienced tanks being hard to heal, as well as the survivability difference when Espinhos Demoníacos is up and not.

One of the major reasons Legion's launch was smooth was that the team made sure objects for important quests could be interacted with by multiple people at the same time.

Stat and damage numbers are growing again; the Engineering team has fixed the scalability issue and there is no technical need for a squish (eg bosses can have more than 4 billion HP now), but a design issue remains if huge numbers dilute the impact for players.

Legion had several new systems which were fun and challenging to create, including Mythic+ which was a twist on the Challenge Mode system without loot, and the World Quest system which had additional compelxity with the Mobile App.

Unclear when 7.1.5 will be live, Nighthold will likely be live in January 2017.

In 7.1.5, you can complete a quest (eg Toque de um titã) to upgrade your legendary's ilvl to the next max ilvl cap.

There will be new legendaries in 7.2, these will automatically be ilvl 920, and some weaker ones are buffed in 7.1.5.

The top tier of Mythic+ rewards will keep increasing in ilvl as the expansion progresses to remain relevant.

The buildings you create on the Broken Shore in 7.2 will be region-wide (as opposed to Garrison buildings which are unique to each player). World should feel cohesive.

Argus is coming in 7.3 and will be part of the Legion expansion, not a separate one.
