We are getting two new Delves in Patch 11.1: Sidestreet Sluice and Excavation Site 9. Brann is getting a brand-new tank role and many quality-of-life improvements await in Season 2, including new rewards, a new Zekvir-style encounter, new curios, new goblin variations for existing builds, and more.

A race against time to stop the Darkfuse and Venture Co from blowing up a dam to smithereens that would flood the Ringing Deeps. Two significant areas make up Operation: Floodgate: The Waterworks and The G.R.I.D., and you must pull out all stops to bring the hurt to some pesky goblins.

Operation: Floodgate consists of the following four bosses:

• Big M.O.M.M.A — A prototype mech code-named Big M.O.M.M.A., piloted by Silva Stratospark, has been deployed to the Waterworks as operational security in service of Gallywix's schemes. The mech boasts a dizzying array of communication equipment bolstered by the Darkfuse's Black Blood experiments.
• Demolition Duo — Keeza Quickfuse and Bront are the Venture Co. brains and brawn duo contracted by Gallywix to implement the "explosive restructuring" of the Waterworks dam. Keeza thrives off wanton destruction, while Bront "thrives" off cleaning up the remnants left in her wake.
• Swampface — Buried beneath the riverbed at the Waterworks lies a hibernating beast. Amidst the commotion around the dam, Swampface awakens and emerges from the mud in a groggy rage to squash the first thing that moves.
• Geezle Gigazap: At the heart of the Waterworks dam, the electric mastermind Geezle Gigazap siphons power for "THE PROJECT".

Liberation of Undermine is the second raid of The War Within expansion located in Undrmine. It features 8 bosses spread across three wings with Chrome King Jastor Gallywix as the final boss.

The first-ever raid Renown track in WoW, Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club provides players with unique rewards tied to the Liberation of Undermine, such as the raid skip, a soft nerf through a stacking buff, a dinar-style currency, and more.

Patch 11.1 introduces a brand new tier of class sets with unique 2-set bonuses shared between all roles and spec-specific 4-set bonuses.

In Mythic+ Season 2, players can expect to earn new seasonal rewards. Blizzard has also updated the dungeon rotation and removed unnecessary tank busters from many dungeons to improve the flow of combat. Item levels have been increased by 39 across the board.

PvP aficionados will definitely appreciate the new Cage of Carnage Arena set in Undermine, new seasonal rewards, and increased item leves.
