Ascendant, Tyrannical
Welcome to The War Within Season 3, Week 1!
Since this is the first day of the season, our route offerings are based on what we saw in PTR keys with the Auto Route Creator. However, keep your eyes peeled…we will release a second update this Friday with more routes once we’ve had time to gather and analyze the data from our Mythic+ Heatmaps – a feature that aggregates millions of Mythic+ runs to help you see what others are doing at the same keystone level as you.
A big thing to note about Season 3 is that all players have access to Shadowmeld now through the Umbral Essentia potion, meaning that it’s no longer a requirement to bring a
Night Elf tank in high Mythic+ keys. The weekly-alternating affixes are Xal’atath’s Bargain: Ascendant in keystone levels +4 to +11, and Tyrannical in keystone levels +7 to +9. Fortified is added at keystone level +10, and Xal’atath’s Guile replaces Xal’atath’s Bargain: Ascendant at keystone level +12. Here’s a refresher on The War Within’s affix system:
So, which dungeons may be easier to target for rewards? The graphs below will update throughout the week to show the relative difficulty of all of the dungeons, as well as spec popularity so far this Season:
The dungeon timers and requirements for +2 and +3 rewards for each dungeon in The War Within Season 3 are shown in the table below:
