Battle for Azeroth: PvE Season 1: Infested

[Power]

Battle for Azeroth: PvE Season 1 has officially begun 1 month after the live release. (15/01/2021)

This season will end with the release of Battle of Dazar'alor (Raid).

Island Expeditions:

Island Expeditions are special 3-player scenarios introduced in Battle For Azeroth. The goal of an Island Expedition is simple, to obtain Azerite found on an uncharted Island. The exact method of doing so however is up to the players.

The Islands you will sail to are filled with enemies native to the Island, and enemies not-so native to the Island. Every enemy you kill, every chest you loot, every special event you complete; all will award Azerite that is loaded up on your ship.

Every week, 3 different Islands will be available for you to scout and explore. There are 4 difficulties of Island Expeditions: Normal, Heroic, Mythic and PvP. (the creatures don't mimic player behavior)

Dread Chain

Molten Cay

Rotting Mire

Skittering Hollow

Un'gol Ruins

Verdant Wilds

Whispering Reef

Gathering 3.6k Azerite during the week in Island Expeditions will reward you with 3,500 Azerite from turning in Azerite for the Horde / Azerite for the Alliance

In Battle for Azeroth, Mythic+ will be divided into Seasons, with a 4th Affix that changes every season. Season 1 of Mythic+ will have the Infested affix:

Some mobs in each dungeon will be infested with a Symbiote of G'huun. They will appear larger and have the Symbiote of G'huun buff. Any other mob within 8 yards will have Regenerative Blood applied to them causing them to heal for 10% of their max health every 3 seconds.

When the Infested mob dies, it will release two Spawn of G'huun which will run towards the nearest non-boss NPC. Once it reaches its target, it will cast Infest, an uninterruptable 1 second cast. If it successfully casts Infest, it will infest the target with Symbiote of G'huun, starting the cycle again.

This affix will be present on every Keystone Level 10 and above. Pulling a large group with an Infested mob will result in the Infested mob and the rest being healed. Instead, it's usually better to CC the Infested mob, deal with the remainder of the pack and then finish off the Infested mob last.

---
