Greetings!
Midnight Season 2 dungeon testing continues on Tuesday, July 21st. The following dungeons are available for testing during this period:
Altar of Fangs
Murder Row
Den of Nalorakk
Voidscar Arena
The Blinding Vale
Temple of Sethraliss
Kings’ Rest
Ruby Life Pools
During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. This NPC will now also appear at the beginning of each dungeon on Mythic difficulty who can teleport players back to a capital city.
Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.
Dungeon Update
We made changes to some dungeons prior to the weekend. As a refresher: Feedback: Midnight Season 2 Dungeon Test July 14th - July 20th - #8 by yeeta-3157598
This week, we have additionally made the following changes:
Ruby Life Pools
When considering their reduced pacing, the first and final boss encounters have seen a few changes this week to increase healing engagement and to make avoidable mechanics more impactful.
General
Reduced timer to 28 minutes from 29 minutes
There is now an additional Waystone that appears immediately after Melidrussa Chillworn’s defeat to prevent awkward timing when releasing spirit
Melidrussa Chillworn
Hailburst

Chillstorm

Ashseer Flamelasher
Flaming Barrage
No longer ticks immediately when the cast begins
Temple of Sethraliss
With our changes this week, we aimed to rebalance the length of some encounters. For Galvazzt in particular, we wanted to lean more into its role as a simple but fast-paced fight.
For Avatar of Sethraliss, we made a number of adjustments to further increase the impact of player healing and reduce the length of the main phase. As part of these adjustments, we notably reduced the health of Corrupted Guardians to encourage resolution of the Corrupted Lifeforce mechanic prior to the intermission. To coincide with that change, we have enhanced the coordination requirement of resolving Corrupted Lifeforce. Lastly, we reduced the health of Faithless Tormentors to lean more into the intermission as a race to defeat as many of these creatures as possible.
