Although the expansion itself is releasing at the end of November, Blizzard Entertainment is launching the Dragonflight pre-patch in two separate phases\u2014phase one and phase two. Phase one launched on Oct. 25 and brought HUD UI changes, updated spells, talent trees, Rated Solo Shuffle, and new accessibility features. Phase two, which started on Nov. 15, introduced Dracthyr Evokers, their starting zone\u2014the Forbidden Reach\u2014revamped dungeon Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, and the Primal Storms event. Accessibility features are features specifically designed to help WoW players improve their gameplay, even the smallest details, like repeatedly smashing your buttons to chain your DPS rotation, and help impaired people to navigate the game easily. New accessibility features with the Dragonflight pre-patch are Press and Hold casting, interact key, and action combat.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s take a look at all the accessibility features coming to WoW with the pre-patch and how to enable Press and Hold casting in Dragonflight. All accessibility features added in Dragonflight pre-patch First, we have Press and Hold casting. Instead of repeatedly smashing your keyboard as you\u2019re casting that Shadow Bolt on that boss, you can now simply press and hold the button you use for a specific spell, and your character will repeatedly cast the same spell until your next input.\u00a0 The interact key is the second accessibility feature in the Dragonflight pre-patch. It allows you to select NPCs and objects by pushing a designated button instead of using your mouse to click. On top of that, the devs added a new icon so we can easily discern between interactable and non-interactable objects and NPCs. Action combat is the new targeting system that automatically targets enemies as soon as you approach them without the need to TAB. Thanks to this new feature, you can target enemy units as soon as you face them. How to enable Press and Hold casting To enable Press and Hold casting, you\u2019ll first need to open your options by pressing the Escape button. Once you open settings, go to Gameplay and then Combat. Under the Combat, you\u2019ll find Press and Hold casting box. Tick the box, save the changes, and your set to spam your Shadow Bolt with a press of a button as much as you\u2019d like.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/10132651\/WoWScrnShot_031021_132016-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716542"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716542"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":737704,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716542\/revisions\/737704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716542"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=716542"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=716542"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=716542"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=716542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
