Patch 10.1.5 is coming, literally launched on the PTR a couple days after Season 2 of Dragonflight launched. This patch Fractures in Time has some really massive features and some additions to the game, new Evoker spec, megadungeon, storyline developments, new world event for all open-world adventurers - Time Rifts, and some other changes or improvements. Now let's jump into this guide, get the full review of the WoW Dragonflight 10.1.5 patch release date, and 7 of the major features of Fractures in Time!

WoW Dragonflight 10.1.5 Patch & PTR Release Date

No release date has been confirmed for the 10.1.5 patch beyond the fact that it is expected to land this summer. It arrived on the PTR (public test realm) on May 11, and if historical timings are anything to go by, we should expect to see the patch arrive in July 2023.7

- WoW Dragonflight 10.1.5 PTR start date: May 11, 2023

- WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5 (Season 2) start date: July, 2023

WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5 Content - Time Rifts, Evoker Spec, Dungeon & Changes

Megadungeon - Dawn of the Infinite

It's an 8-boss dungeon, featuring some really interesting fights like the Blight of Glalakrond, Iridikron is one of the bosses, Tyr is one of the bosses and the last boss is Chrono-Lord Deio's. This dungeon also features a different fight depending on horde or alliance. This will be Mythic only when it launches and no doubt in Season 3 of Dragonflight, we will see it go heroic and Mythic+, but as of 10.1.5, it will be Mythic at zero only. We don't know anything about the loot or the items that we'll be dropping from here as of yet, but that will come in a later build. But from the promo images, this looks absolutely phenomenal.

Augmentation Evoker Spec

The next major feature of patch 10.1.5 is the addition of the third Evoker spec, this is the Augmentation Evoker spec. This is not a tank spec, this is not a healing spec, this is actually a support spec based around a damage dealing spec. So this is a DPS, but it is a support specialization which is kind of a new thing for World of Warcraft. So essentially the way that this works is that you do damage abilities, but doing so, buffs your allies and boosts them up, so it's essentially Pi the spec as such. It is available for testing right now on the PTR. So if you are an Evoker main or just want to try it out, you can jump on the PTR and try it out right now. It has some really cool new animations, some cool new abilities and it is just wild to see a brand new specialization come into the Evokers after a long rumored and data mined and speculated spec.

Warlocks Updates

Also coming in 10.1.5 is the addition of Warlocks for all races. So over the last couple patches, we've had the addition of Priests and Rogues, Mages and Monks. But now we are getting Warlocks for everybody, all the races apart from Dracthyr can become Warlocks in patch 10.1.5. This makes the most sense because it is one of the classes which does not have that many art requirements from a racial standpoint if you look at a Paladin for example, they know it's a bit of charger, totems with Shamans, etc, but Warlock seemed to be a pretty easy win in regards to that. So our new warlocks in patch 10.1.5 are Night Elves, Draenei, Lifeforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiras, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs and Zandalari Trolls. Every other cool race and allied race will have the option to be a Warlock as of the launch of 10 1 5. There are some tidbits and some things have added to like the home cities and things like that with Warlocks to justify a lot of these. Also as well for Warlocks, you're going to get pet customizations, this isn't really in the PTR right now, so we can't show you how it looks. But essentially what it's going to be is pretty much similar to how the Druids customize themselves in the barbershop, so you'll be able to do that with your Warlock pets in 10.1.5.

Whelp Daycare

Also coming in 10.1.5 is the Whelp Daycare, it is a daily thing that you nurse up some whelplings and then eventually get a battle pet from it. So if you're a battle pet fan, it seems like this is going to be for you, it's kind of a daily thing that you're going to be doing over in the little scales daycare area of Valddrakken. This questline will pop up as soon as 10.1.5 launches, but not really too in depth but it is kind of fun, it's something to do on the side and there will be some really fun and interesting things happening with that.

Tracking Transmog Appearances

When you go to your appearance tab in 10.1.5, you'll see your normal appearance tab, but if you hold down shift, you'll see that some of them are highlighted. They're highlighted because you can click them and it will track this appearance similar to a quest. So when you click this appearance, it will tell you exactly where this comes from.

Dragonriding Races in Kalimdor

Also in 10.1.5, we are getting Dragonriding races in kalimdor, we're not really too sure on how this works. But from the looks of things, it looks like exclusively Dragonriding races will be happening in kalimdor with a ton of achievements linked to all of those different races in normal, advanced and reverse. So a ton more race contents coming in 10.1.5 in kalimdor. There's also a bunch of hidden achievements for the Eastern kingdoms races as well, so we're probably going to get some Eastern Kingdom races coming in. We’re not sure in 10.1.5, but there's definitely data in the game files to suggest that Eastern kingdoms will be getting some Dragonriding races as well. There are also some very interesting changes to Dragonriding including some changes to all of the Drakes and in WoW, having a new flag in the data which could potentially mean that they'll be enabled for Dragonriding, it looks like the animations have been added to them as well. So PTR is early, it definitely seems a lot of the previous Drakes and Dragons of the game might be converted into Dragonriding Drakes.

Time Rifts

The final major feature of 10.1.5 we're going to talk about is the Time Rift feature. We don't know a ton about this, it has been active on the PTR. From what it seems like, it's going to be very similar to the Rift system of patch 10.3 in August. Blizzard didn’t reveal much about the Time Rift events in Patch 10.1.5, but we do know that these events will take on Azeroth and possibly beyond the borders of the Dragon Isles. There are tons of different maps which have been data mined.
