We skipped a week in our Mythic+ tracking, but we're back on track today with a look at what's been going on since we last checked in. Not a huge amount, as it turns out, at least at the very tops of the charts, with M+ being very stable, as it tends to be (especially compared to the weekly fluctuations of different raids Awakening).

Destruction in on the stage in this week's Alpha build, starting with Soul Fire moving away from its execute role and more into a crit-focused one. Infernals will now be more easily reached in the talent tree, with a more central position.
