Great news for Evokers in World of Warcraft! The next 10.2.5 Patch will not only Follower Dungeons, a new Gilneas campaign, dragonriding unlocked worldwide, but it also include a quality-of-life change to how the Dracthyr fly across the skies.
Following Dragonflight's overall success, many players were left wondering why this mechanic was not implemented on launch day, as it seemed odd for dragons not to be able to fly like their brethren.
With that being said, we will be taking a look at all of the changes that have hit the PTR recently so we can see what Blizzard Entertainment is bringing to the table. Let's get started!

- New Passive Ability: Expedited Takeoff – Soar’s cooldown is reduced to 10 seconds.
