Patch 5.3 PTR - Build 16781

Patch 5.3 PTR - Build 16781
Build 16781 will be deployed to the PTR realms soon.

  • The 200 mount achievement now rewards a red or blue Armored Dragonhawk, based on your faction.
  • Many new item level 516 items with random stats have been added, with the possibility of at least some of them being heroic scenario loot.
  • New Item Level 600 cloaks were added, which are likely related to Wrathion's quest line. There are cloaks for all four of the August Celestials and Wrathion mentions augmenting the power of your cloak after speaking to them.
  • PvP Resilience has been removed from most gear and stats have been rebalanced on other PvP gear.
  • Two new horse like mounts have been added, but only one has a working model.
  • A new PvP tabard and enchants were added.

    Hope that Warrior defensive stance change doesn't get changed back again.

    Not a fan of the Dragonhawk for the Horde. It's much to devoid of color. This looks like something The Banshee Queen would ride, if she wished an elvish-like mount. Bring me some red paint, maybe some silvers too, and we'll see what I can make of it.

    I hope tri-spec isn't an experiment, that would make 5.3 much less exciting.

    That horse is badass, I want!

    I think the horde dragonhawk looks better than the 100 mount version. I preferred the Alliance version of the 100 mount reward. But now I think the horde version of the 200 mount reward is pretty cool. To bad thought its not a armored version of the sunreaver dragonhawk.

    I agree, though I don't really care for its tail being in a cage like that... makes it seem kinda klunky.

    I hope that 516 loot is easy to get for alts, Full sets except trinkets! Heroics and lfr have become tedious and don't get much chance for alt t14 runs raiding 5 nights a week.

    And here I had such high hopes for the dragonhawk only to have my dreams crushed once again.... it sucks being alliance and having your favorite color be red. If feels like I'm not allowed. ;-;

    Same here. It's what I'm hoping is in the patch the most, and I haven't seen anything else yet that excites me. :/

    Ya know I think it just might be..

    though the icons has this listed (inv_misc_steel_hitching_post).
    So it might be like the TCG loot item Hitching Post for that mount.

    Funny thing is, I almost bet that if mount collecting was something only the 1% of raiders or arena did, the 150 and 200 mark might have actually been something amazing. Can't give the average player anything nice can they?

    With the talent changes in MoP the impact of tri-spec for at least myself is far smaller than it would be now. At one point it is so little of a difference that it would not mater ether way and in another it does not really mater that why not implement it. Before I could of had various specs for one type of spec like resto depending on a fight or PVE vs PVP. Now mostly it comes down to convenience which is mostly covered already by an add-on for buttons and a quick swap of talents that takes almost not time at all. The duel-spec system might have not come out to begin with if we had this current talent system in place before hand.

    Personally I just do not see what the big fuss is over the need for a tri-spec system and at which point why not a quad spec system for druids. Maybe it is being an old timer that sees things like respecing to be such a trivial and non-humbug task. Thank again CC is something that is trivial to myself and yet it seems to be such a big pain for the new aged gamers that cant handle pushing an extra button and socializing with other people in an MMO.

    Hint on a new multi-passenger mount? Hopefully similar to the ones of the worgen and if so access to ones bank would top it off.
