New glove enchants with Delve-only bonuses
Dataminers have found four new glove enchants in the 12.1.5 files, aimed at players who spend their time in Delves and the new labyrinth. They only function inside Delves, and at level 90 they can be applied to items up to item level 334.
Usefully, the enchanting item is not consumed on use, so a single one can upgrade several pieces.
The four enchants
Each draws on a different loa, and each triggers on a chance in combat:
- Falco Strikes – the winds of Akil'zon. Strikes the nearest enemy for Nature damage, and each strike has a 20% chance to land on the same target again
- Heat Wave – the flame of Jan'alai. Wreathes you in fire that periodically deals Fire damage split between nearby enemies
- Ursine's Ironhide – the resilience of Nalorakk. Grants a damage-absorbing shield
- Eye of the Lynx – the mist of Halazzi. Grants a speed and self-healing bonus to you and a random nearby ally
Where they come from
Unclear so far. The files list the enchants but not their source, so how you acquire them is still an open question heading toward release.
What is clear is that Delves are getting deeper rather than simpler this patch. If you would rather have the Delve rewards than the runs, our Delves boost handles the tiers and the loot.
PTR data. Effects, item level caps and acquisition can all change before 12.1.5 ships.
