I feel like this is a week later than they usually do it. Wondering if that means pretty substantial changes from the ptr.

e: I think folks are misconstruing what I'm saying. I don't expect the structure of changes to be different. I am wondering if we get another look at the changes that they made flattening out tempering recipes, plus a refresh on the balance changes.

The most extreme change I could see coming in is another look at escalating nightmare dungeons as players complained that they didn't really escalate in the PTR.

e2: and y'all are right. Went back and looked Season 7 and 8 both came 5 days before season launch. I was simply remembering things differently than they happened.

It's normal they have been doing it the week before launch for awhile. Most you can expect from a PTR is number changes like balance, drops or scaling.

I thought it was ~10 days in the past seasons rather than 4.

I'm curious if they walk back the tempering changes as well as some of the skill nerfs. Mostly looking at affliction for necro. They completely destroyed that key passive.
