Blizzard Watch Podcast

Join us as we discuss the nerfs to DPS trinkets for tanks and healers in The War Within, the potential trouble with the new Mythic+ dungeon affixes, the mercenaries, pets, and new Spiritborn class coming to Diablo 4, as well as our highlights from this year’s Summer Game Fest. We’re warily eyeballing you, Dragon Age: Veilguard.

Join us as we discuss the launch of The War Within beta, Diablo 4’s anniversary event, and why we need every single murloc floatie offered in WoW’s June Trading Post. Also our anticipation of release dates for The War Within and Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, during this week’s Summer Game Fest.

Join us as we discuss our love for WoW Remix despite the many exploits Blizzard has to squash, story mode coming for raids in The War Within, Cataclysm Classic players finally getting a chance to get the amazing Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent and Disappointing Minions title, and Overwatch 2’s weird relationship with esports these days.

This week has been displaced by the Infinite Dragonflight and disappeared into Pandaria — which is to say we're all playing WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. We discuss the unique gemming system, the extremely fun leveling experience, and, of course, free transmog. (Free transmog!) Plus Cataclysm Classic skipping Deathwing's attack and the important matter of why WoW doesn't have a Devilsaur mount.

It's time to spend less time sorting through your overflowing inventory and more time killing demons, because Diablo 4Season 4 is live with massive itemization changes. We discuss the massive 16gb patch, the changes the Diablo 4 team has made to the game since its release, and the lessons they could learn from Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft. Plus soloing Battle for Azeroth raids, the now-daily Mists of Pandaria raid lockouts, and Joe's thoughts on the brand new Totemic Shaman.

In this week's show, we're getting ready to go to back to Pandaria in WoW Remix, which launches next week on May 16. We discuss the best classes to play in ReMists, whether we're getting the new Draenei or Troll Heritage Armor that was added in WoW patch 10.2.7, and contemplate Diablo Immortal's new storm-themed Tempest class — could it also be coming to Diablo 4? And to wrap up, which Warcraft story would we make into a television show? (If we suddenly had the power to make a Warcraft TV show.)

Join us this week as we discuss the recently rolled out Dragonflight Season 4 including its reverse squish dungeon difficulty change. Also our WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria beta experiences, Hearthstone’s quest difficulty identity crisis, and WoW’s return to China.

Special guest site writer Nick Marino joins us as we discuss the massive amount of news that dropped this week about WoW’s next expansion The War Within. We cover arguably one of the biggest quality of life improvements coming to the game in the form of Warbands as well as the alpha test, dynamic flight, Delves, the new Earthen allied race, new classes coming to the Dracthyr, a major in-game event that has already been spoiled (really, people, let's not), and the new mode that turns spiders into crabs. Though not crabs with tiny hats so there is obviously still some improvement to be had there.
