Patch 5.2 - PTR Build 16467
A new PTR build will be deployed on PTR realms soon.


Raid Testing Schedule - January 17

Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below for all Public Test Realms.

Horridon - 10 Player Normal at 10:30 PST (13:30 EST, 19:30 CET)

Iron Qon - 10 Player Normal at 16:00 PST (19:00 EST, 01:00 CET)

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a beta environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the boss being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. This is particularly true for these early tests as we are still nailing down overall patch stability. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.

Important Testing Notes

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: At the northeastern edge of the swamp on the Thunder King's island, there is a Shado-Pan camp in a small cave. A sewer grate in this cave will take you directly to the zone-in point for the raid zone. (As more of the island unlocks, players will be able to access the main gate directly.)

Q: What gear do I use to test the raid?
A: As we did for Beta raid testing, we will be scaling players' gear inside the raid in order to facilitate testing. Gear will be scaled (up or down, as appropriate) to item Level 502 for the purposes of testing Normal modes.

    So um, what's up with the change to Glyph of Flame Shock? (No, I'm not talking about the spelling correction. Mean live vs PTR.)

    Also, I kind of feel that this comic is appropriate - http://tinyurl.com/bkpcxsj

    It is not the first and definately not the last time they forget that enha shamans exist.
    Axe/mace would have suited both rogue and enha, but now 1 class is without weapons.
    Shame
