New Arathi Highlands Campaign
While attention has been focused on Khaz Algar, a new enemy has risen in the Arathi Highlands, threatening to shatter the tenuous peace between Stromgarde and Hammerfall.

Experience this new storyline with branching viewpoints based on your character’s faction as you brave the journey ahead.

Overcharged Delves
Power up with Titan machinery to explore new depths and face new challenges within six Delves throughout Khaz Algar in the Legacy of Arathor content update. You’ll be able to amp up the challenge with a new Delve-specific affix and earn some shiny loot.
Engage with Titan enemies, more traps, and unlock traits in a new trait tree specific to Overcharged Delves. Selecting the right traits can turn the tides of traps by making them more beneficial rather than a detriment to your progress.

New UI Options: Combat Assistant and Single-Button Assistant
We’re introducing two additional options in the User Interface (UI) to help you learn a new class or relearn an alternate character. These new options are also a great way to provide additional accessibility to players who may need a little extra help.
Assisted Highlight: When enabled, Assisted Highlight will highlight the recommended next ability based on resources and the situation your character is in. Configured as an additional option to assist with damage rotation no matter which specialization you’re using, this new option is designed to help new players, players who are trying out a new specialization, or those looking for additional guidance on the abilities they should use.
Single-Button Assistant: For those who want or need a little extra help, there is also the new Single-Button Assistant. This is a single button that can be used to cast the next recommended damage dealing ability in the sequence. This assistant is designed to aid those who are looking for additional help, or for those who want to experience the story or game on a more casual basis. There is a small additional global cooldown added between abilities when using this feature.The feature will also detect when an Area of Effect (AoE) spell or multi-target ability should be used when you’re out in the world.
