Raid Buff Scrolls Making a Comeback in Patch 10.2.7 - Timerunning Pandaria: Remix
Raid Buff Scrolls Return in Patch 10.2.7 PTR
In the latest datamining of Patch 10.2.7 PTR, new spells have been unveiled, hinting at the reintroduction of raid buff scrolls, including Mystic Touch and Chaos Brand, for the upcoming Timerunning Pandaria: Remix.
In previous expansions, raid buff scrolls provided a solution to fill in composition gaps, proving particularly useful in 10-man raiding and limited-player dungeon content. The return of these raid buff scrolls could be attributed to the possibility of smaller raid groups in Timerunning raids.
Spell Details
Mystic Touch
Infuses the target with vitality, increasing their Stamina by 4% for 1 hour. If the target is in a party or raid, all members of the party or raid will be affected.
Chaos Brand
Infuses the target with brilliance, increasing their Intellect by 4% for 1 hour. If the target is in a party or raid, all members of the party or raid will be affected.
Haste Invocation
Increases Haste by 15% for all party and raid members. This effect lasts 40 seconds. However, allies who receive this effect will become Exhausted and will be unable to benefit from Bloodlust, Heroism, or similar effects again for 10 minutes.
Greater Might Scroll
Increases the attack power of all raid and party members within 100 yards by 4% for 1 hour. This scroll can be used by items.
Scroll of Weakness
Weakens the target, increasing their physical damage taken by 4% for 1 hour. This scroll can be used by items.
Wild Versatility Scroll
Infuses a friendly target with the power of the wild, increasing their Versatility by 2% for 60 minutes. If the target is in a party or raid, all members of the party or raid will be affected. This scroll can be used by items.
Purifying Scroll
Dispels all harmful curse, magic, poison, and disease effects from the target ally. This scroll can be used by items.
Scroll of Resurrection
Brings a dead ally back to life with 35% health and mana. However, it cannot be cast while in combat. This scroll has replaced the previously named spell "Resurrection" and is now a usable item.
Summoning Portal Scroll
Begins a ritual that creates a summoning portal for 3 minutes. Allies can use the summoning portal to summon a specific party or raid member. This scroll can be used by items.
Although these new scrolls still mention that they are restricted to their original classes, we believe this to be a tooltip error.
Conclusion
With the discovery of these new raid buff scrolls in the Patch 10.2.7 PTR, players can anticipate the return of valuable buffs that can enhance their party or raid's performance in Timerunning Pandaria: Remix. These scrolls will provide flexibility and strategic advantages to both small and large raid groups, ensuring an engaging and challenging gameplay experience.
