WoW Dragonflight 10.0.7

Following up on the release of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's latest content update, 10.0.5, is the game's next patch, 10.0.7.

Like the previous content update, 10.0.7 will not be a big patch that adds any major content such as a brand-new season, or a new raid, instead, it'll focus on more class balancing and tuning, and will also introduce a new questing area.

Here are the early 10.0.7 patch notes revealed. These changes are subject to change.
