PTR Build 32712 Achievements, Spells, Premable - No Class Changes This Build

A new PTR build is here and we're starting with achievements, spells and premable. There are no Class Changes in this build.

Keystone Master and Conqueror Achievements will be Account-Wide in Patch 8.3 Visions of N'zoth

In the new PTR build, Blizzard has changed the Keystone Master and Conqueror achievements, to complete all Mythic+ dungeons in +15, to be account-wide. This change means that you can complete each dungeon in a separate toon and still complete the achievement. This is important with Season 4 since completing Keystone Master will grant players a season-exclusive mount and Keystone Conqueror a season-exclusive title.

Patch 8.3 Build 32712 - Mythic Dungeon Tuning

This build contains some Mythic Dungeon tuning which includes nerfs to Azerite Powder Shot and Pistol Shot from Skycap'n Kragg, Powder Shot from Captain Eudora, and many abilities from Operation: Mechagon before it enters Mythic+.

The Weekly Mythic+ Chest Can Drop Corrupted Weapons on the 8.3 PTR

We decided to test out the Weekly Mythic+ Chest on the PTR and happened to get a Corrupted Mechagon Weapon. Details are still unclear about how this works; the Corrupted Weapon effects could randomly roll on Mythic+ cache weapons, or maybe any non-Corrupted Weapon can occasionally roll a Corrupted Weapon effect but this seems like good news for Mythic+ players!

[inland belfry]

Corrupted Weapon Effects Have Multiple Tiers and Can Roll From Mythic+ Cache

With more testing done with the Mythic+ cache, it seems that the Ny'alotha Corrupted Weapon effects have multiple tiers, with matching values of Corruption, and can roll on more than just Weapons. We've seen these "weapon" effects on Trinkets, Belts and Rings from the Weekly Mythic+ cache. Thanks to Jeathebelle for helping test this.
