7.2 isn't gauranteed to be the Tomb. It will probably be something more like how like 7.1 worked, but a large scale patch and maybe a filler raid. The thought process is something like this currently. 7.1.5 Class change patch, early Jan. Nighthold mid to late Jan if not early Feb. 7.2 sometime in march or April. Tomb raid sometime in May/June/July. Probably 7.2.5.
That is the current theory, hype, theme, that looks to be occurring. From what I've seen form speculators, hints etc.
A lot of you are confusing patch numbers with raid tiers. The term tier as used by the Devs means Raid Tier, the patch number is exactly that the current patch point number. The two do not have to coincide. I even thought Ion said this somewhere.
It'll come. I've got a feeling this time. Their plans seem structured for once.
The patch numbers have no importance anyway. And whether or not EN should be regarded as a separate tier from NH is not essential either.
At the end of an expansion, the only thing that matters is the number of bosses. That's where the actual content lies. Everything else is just naming conventions.
7.2 will definitely contain the Tomb of Sargeras, it's what they said at Blizzcon, it just won't be open as soon as 7.2 launches.
The patch 7.2 will launch while people are still doing Nighthold, and will go on the PTR shortly after 7.1.5 is live. The raid Tomb of Sargeras will be a component of that patch, but similarly to how Nighthold has been in the game since launch but still is not open, the new raid will not open until people have had a similar amount of time in Nighthold as they had in the Emerald Nightmare.
If there's to be a patch 7.2.5, I wouldn't be surprised if it launched in close vicinity to Tomb of Sargeras opening, but Tomb of Sargeras will be in patch 7.2.
just to clarify:
brf did NOT open with 6.1.
its a common misconception.
brf released on the 03.02.2015 whilest 6.1 released on 24.02.2015
Nighthold could have opened with 7.0, no patch required.
they will open it as they have said "early 2017" (i think they might have said feburary too somewhere).
i also think 7.2 will come sooner then most people think, but the Tomb of Sargeras wont be open for a long time.
they're dragging this expansion out a lot better than they did with WoD. It's called Proper pacing.
Hi
7.2 is called Tomb of Sargeras, itt: "I don't think tomb will be in 7.2" .....
Huh? The third tier comes after the second. I wouldn't worry about it buddy. The expansions been out for less than 4 months.

I wouldnt even look for 7.2 until at least late April/early May and even then they already said the raid wont release with the patch.
