Gamma dungeons on PTR

[Tuon-skullcrusher]

Gamma dungeons are currently accessible on PTR

No new mechanics (so far anyway) but huge buffs to mob HP (as high as 300%) and smaller buffs to damage. Each player picks a buff at the beginning which pretty much just corresponds directly to their role (armor shattering on melee, haste to allies on damaging spellcast, self-buff to damage on heal and super thorns)

Each boss drops triumph badges. As of now sidereal are not dropping from every boss.

Cool sounds fun.

Yeah, outside of the Triumph badges, the loot isn’t even updated. You don’t get any of the new sidereals at all, even from the end boss.

The new ICC 5 mans are where you the new sidereal is dropping from every boss, which is likely how Gamma dungeons will work.

Continuing the discussion from Wrath Classic 3.4.3 PTR Development Notes:

New Dungeons – The Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection

• All three dungeons are available for testing now and can be found on the upper balcony of Icecrown Citadel, in Icecrown.
• By default, the Heroic version of these dungeons will benefit from the additional rewards from Titan Rune Dungeons: Defense Protocol Gamma but will see no additional mechanics or difficulty adjustments as other dungeons are getting in Defense Protocol Gamma.
  • Developer’s Note: These three dungeons are some of our favorite content from Wrath of the Lich King, and we were concerned that if we added additional mechanics to these dungeons from Defense Protocol Gamma, many players may never get to experience this content in its’ original Wrath of the Lich King iteration. Most other Wrath of the Lich King dungeons were available in their original form during the first phase of Wrath Classic had their time to shine before Titan Rune Dungeons were introduced in patch 3.4.1, but as these dungeons are only just now becoming available and are themselves a step-up in difficulty over normal heroics, we felt it was important to protect the original 2009 experience here. We will publish more information discussing Defense Protocol Gamma and how these three dungeons fit into the Wrath Classic patch 3.4.3 endgame content in the coming weeks.
