First information on the testing schedule for Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, the upcoming raid in World of Warcraft, is made public by Blizzard in Patch 10.1.
The newest World of Warcraft raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, will be introduced in the Embers of Neltharion patch, and Blizzard has released the testing schedule for eight of its nine bosses. The successor to Vault of the Incarnates takes players to Deathwing’s covert research lab from his time as the Earth-Warder, and even pits them against a Neltharion face-to-face in the penultimate battle. Soon after the release of Patch 10.1, World of Warcraft revealed the boss list for Aberrus. While many players are disappointed they won’t be facing the Primal Incarnates, the raid’s tier set has impressed all classes except Monk.
While Mythic players can anticipate the removal of seasonal affixes and the Keystone debut of The Vortex Pinnacle in Dragonflight Season 2, World of Warcraft raiders can anticipate discovering what Aberrus has in store for them much sooner than they might anticipate on the Public Test Realms. Players of World of Warcraft will be able to test each of the raid’s other eight bosses, save for Scalecommander Sarkareth, according to a testing schedule published by Blizzard Entertainment.
Beginning on March 16, the first round of testing on the World of Warcraft PTR will include Kazzara, the Hellforged (13:00 PDT), and The Amalgamation Chamber. (14:00 PDT). On March 17, raid testing will resume right away with Rashok, the Elder, and The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn (13:00 PDT). (14:00 PDT). Although other difficulties have been mentioned by Blizzard, the initial set of encounters will mainly concentrate on Heroic mode.
Players of World of Warcraft can anticipate testing the final bosses a week from now, on March 23 and 24, with the schedule listed up until April 21. Though it’s unclear which encounters will be included in the upcoming phase, Blizzard has stated that more information will become available as the testing day approaches. The ever-reliable Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade in Valdrakken, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind will teleport raiders directly into the instance as soon as it opens, allowing for testing access to the raid zone. In most cases, players can anticipate accessing Aberrus via the brand-new Zaralek Cavern zone in Embers of Neltharion.
It’s important to remember that World of Warcraft raid testing’s main goal is to assist Blizzard in finding bugs and gather insightful feedback on how intricate boss mechanics function in actual play. Although the testing is scheduled to last for 60 minutes, it is not out of the question that it could last for an additional hour. Players who wish to view Aberrus in person can also visit the official Blizzard post on the World of Warcraft forums, which the creators will be updating over the next few weeks.
World of Warcraft is available now on PC.
