Patch 5.2 PTR - Build 16539

[Eon Drache]

1) It shouldn't be attached to a spell that already has a niche in PvP. I am most likely going to use Hand of Sacrifice during burst phases so I can't get CCed and they can't focus my partner(s). It should have been given to Hand of Salv instead. It has no use in PvP atm, and it could use it. We also can't use the dispel on ourselves.....

A 2 minute or two times every two minute dispel for others is NOT what retribution needed.

Lol gotta love the people who are so upset about the normal mode FoS. It's simply to show you cleared these raid when it was the current patch - That's it. Not sure what is worth getting so upset over about these.

buffing mages gg, another shit season inc OP mages and rogues, ah y plus monks.
deep freeze buff really? for fucksake it's already too OP in frost, mage can 2 shot u in it ... that fucking lame..
and what the shit `khan` tittle for pvp achiv past wotlk

Yet Arcane and Frost have lost a spell entirely

[Therec]

I read that wrong. I assumed that they were replacing The Cutting Edge FoS with Ahead of The Curve, including normal mode clears in the same FoS. So I take back my lulz.

Still kind of pointless, but it'll allow normal-mode raiding guilds to quickly check progression of applicants, so whatever.

Man I love peoples over reaction every single time blizzard release a PTR patch.

Some people really really need to take a deep breath!

[Naughtia]

Why must they insist on making this game easier and easier and easier at every damn turn?? Suddenly all these different things apply Hunter's mark. BECAUSE PUTTING IT ON THERE AHEAD OF TIME WAS JUST WAAAAY TOO INCONVENIENT, EH?! Not to mention it's REALLY useless in a raid situation where there are other Hunters. Oh, every time I use KC a new mark gets put on, but every time Hunter2 uses chimera shot his overrides mine and then when Hunter3 uses explosive shot that overrides H2's...

everyone was using the glyph anyway, easy on the caps O_o

Are they on crack? New rep gear is only 476? What the fuck is the point of that

Its Blizzard - they are stopping item inflation on rep gear so they can add extra lvls on random drop gear !

In other words... they dont know what they are doing atm. So many issues coming up and end of March is coming in to fast for them to get the patch out before end of first Quarter so they can say the game has not lost 1 million subs.

Ahead of the Curve: Lei Shen (New) Defeat Lei Shen in Throne of Thunder on Normal difficulty, prior to the release of patch 5.4

5.3 won't be a major content patch it seems?

Gear catch up for alts etc maybe? You do know that it will most likley not cost Valor right? (Justice or Gold most likley).

Valor gear is behind Shado-Pan Offensive Rep (which you get from killing raid bosses).

People raging over data mined items really does my head in.

5.3 won't contain a raid, not sure if that is how I define major though.

Yeah, I can´t believe they released it onto live like that.....oh wait....

Seriously, people really need to take an IQ test, or some type of anxiety medication before they read PATCH NOTES!!! The mods here should just read previous comments and use javascript to prevent certain people from seeing patch notes on this site.

Half the people can´t figure out if something is a nerf or buff, and the rest of the people can´t figure out that this is the first patch pass they have done with most of the itemization.

Please, if your IQ is too low, step away from the patch notes.

I figured the new rep items would at least be a tier up from the 5.0 rep items. Unless there is a set of higher ilevel valour gear somewhere else in 5.2, it looks like getting valour is gonna be pointless for people. For instance I only run LFR but all my gear is better than those rep items, and with upgrades removed this tier I'm not seeing any valour sinks here in 5.2 yet.

yep, so stupid of them to launch it to live like that. what were they thinking including it in the patch I downloaded today on live.

[Kektonic]

Is there really any need for more of this stupid elitest shit?

"LOL I BEAT EMPRESS BEFORE YOU -Links achievement-"

"LOL I BEAT SHA OF FEAR BEFORE YOU -Links Achievement-"

Really Blizzard? Why do you support this shit?

More like why are you so mad about pointless shit that doesn't matter to the rest of us?

[Zardoom]

Where is the Sun Crown from?

[SinR]

KHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

sorry... couldn't resist with the new Title/Achieve

[fangless]

The Normal and Heroic Patch 5.0 raids now have a buff (that can be disabled) that reduces enemy health and damage by 10%.

Well, you had to assume this was coming? Figure with ALL the new gear available this would be pointless, but I guess the mouth breathers need some help

[TrollShaman]

I'm curious as to why certain dungeons and scenarios will grant slightly more valor.

Also, i'm okay with the normal mode 5.0 raid FoS, though particularly Will normal is very easily puggable (i speak of experience) so I don't think MSV normal should be a FoS. Whatever floats in Blizz's mind as to why they're making T14 norms FoS, I'll just try to enjoy what they've to offer.

[emgeelol]

Logging in now applies Hunters Mark

[Quakefan]

I guess, they give us a new character models with 5.3 patch, with no new raids and no dungeons and 5.4 patch is the last MoP patch with the final raid.

[Tenkich]

For the Sun Crown - It's either CLOTH or MAIL (Ragnaros in vanilla had something similar in drops - mail crown) But that's just my opinion, and for me,when u say crown it sounds little "clothy".LK's helm is called HELM of domination because it's plate i guess.Please don't hate,I told you,just my opinion

Back me up if i forgot something...
And i don't see that dwarves or anything happening in MoP,yea 5.4 may be the last patch, but i hardly doubt we'll see any of the new models as playable,they are in-game as in linked above,but i don't see it happening

And i know these are faction leaders,but they are updated since vanilla so are new models,maybe not playable but still new...
