A new build will be applied to the PTR tonight. Keep checking back, as we will update our notes often!
LFR Raid Testing Returning Soon
New Items
Many of the Throne of Thunder bosses now have some of the many new items from this build assigned to them. In the interest of not making the front page even more massive by linking 100s of items, you can browse them on WoWDB.
The only non raid loot item news is the addition of Spoils of the Thunder King and Advanced Refrigeration Unit changing from 32 slots to 36.
