Welcome to the Patch 7.2 PTR! As we’re just getting our 7.2 public test phase underway, we’d like to give you some context into what you’ll see (and won’t see) in this first build.

Most of Patch 7.2’s major content isn’t enabled in this build – that’ll be coming in a few weeks. Our primary testing focus for this build will be Demon Assaults, as well as general game stability (e.g. crashes). 7.2’s Pet Battle Dungeon should also be available for testing.

There’s a few other things of note that are enabled for initial testing in this build, but be aware that many of them are still heavily under development:

  • Transmog Item Sets: This is an update to the Transmogrification System that tracks the progress and collections of Raid and PVP item sets, and we’d love your feedback on it.
  • Tab targeting improvements: We’re hard at work making some improvements to this feature, and have a few updates in this build that should make tab targeting feel more natural. Please let us know what you think!
  • Some updated visual effects for Hunters, Death Knights, and Balance Druids: This is still very much in a work-in-progress state, but we’re making a few improvements to the look and feel of these classes, and want to hear your feedback.

You may also start to see some bits and pieces of an improvement we’re making to PvP gearing in 7.2 through the Obliterum Forge (which will no longer require completing a quest chain to unlock). The intent of this system is to allow players who have received multiple pieces of unwanted gear to exchange them for a piece of their choosing. It’s not yet ready for testing, but it’s on the way.

To report issues or errors, use the in-game Submit Bug feature (found under Game Menu -> Help -> Submit Bug) or by visiting the PTR Bug Report 7.2 forum.

  • More features are coming! New information for 7.2 features that are still in-development will be added soon.
  • Please keep in mind that the notes below are not final, and details may be subject to change before the release of Patch 7.2.
  • Not all content listed in the PTR Patch Notes may be available for testing. Content may have a limited test window.

New Features

Demon Assaults
The Burning Legion is assaulting Azeroth with renewed determination. Look for Broken Isles zones to come under attack, fight to drive the Legion back, and defend the lands of your new allies.

Pet Battle Dungeon
Something nefarious is going on in the world of pet battles, and it’s up to you to look into it. If you have at least one level 25 battle pet, speak to Breanni in Dalaran to get directions to this new scenario.

Updated Features

Transmogrification Sets
A new ‘Sets’ tab in the Appearances UI is where you’ll find this new way of tracking item sets from previous Raids, PvP Seasons, and more.

Class Combat Updates
The launch of Legion included many updates to class animations, sounds, and spell effects. These will continue in Patch 7.2 with updates to Hunters, Death Knights, and Balance Druids. More are on the way!

Legion Reputation Updates
Reputation earned beyond Exalted will now contribute towards earning additional rewards from Broken Isles faction emissaries.

Tab Targeting
In Patch 7.2, tab targeting should feel more natural. While in combat, you will no longer be able to accidentally tab to a target that is out of combat with you. Furthermore, you’re no longer able to tab to a target that neither your character nor your camera can see. This is very much a work-in-progress, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Professions
  • The Obliterum Forge should now always be available to players, and requires no questline.
  • All item level 815 crafted end-game gear will now be crafted at item level 835.
  • All existing items between item levels 815-830 will retain their existing item level. The first application of Obliterum will bring them up to 840, and the Obliterum cap has been increased to iLvl 875.
  • Some World Quests that are related to Professions now reward 1 skill point in their associated Profession.
  • Archaeology
    • You can now get Artifact Power from Archaeology.
    • New Elite digsites have been discovered in the Broken Isles.
    • All enemies summoned by Archaeology can now be killed by multiple nearby players.
  • Cooking
    • Nomi now provides Prepared Ingredients as part of his work orders, which can be combined to create up to 10 servings of a random recipe known by the player.

User Interface
  • You can now assign a specialization to an equipment set in the Equipment Manager.
  • An “Open All” button has been added to the mailbox.
  • You can now preview an ensemble set by CTRL-clicking it.
  • Spellbook
    • Spells that haven’t been moved to an action bar are highlighted in the spellbook.
    • Mousing over a spell highlights it on your action bar, making it easier to locate.
    • Pet spells can now be dragged onto the player action bar.
  • Quick Join
    • Auto Accept: A setting has been added to allow friends and guild members to instantly join your queues without a confirmation. This setting is located in Interface Options -> Social.
    • Group tooltips now show the available roles and if auto accept is enabled.
    • Right click a Quick Join group to whisper a member of that group.

Changes

Dungeons and Raids
  • Enemies’ damage and health have been increased for all Heroic and Mythic dungeons, and the item levels of gear found in Legion Dungeons has been increased.
  • All Random Heroic dungeons now requires 825 item level to queue.
  • Lower Karazhan and Upper Karazhan have been added to the Random Legion Heroic list in Dungeon Finder.
  • The Arcway and Court of Stars have been added to the Random Legion Heroic list in Dungeon Finder.

Items
  • Set tokens for all raids from Serpentshrine to Siege of Orgrimmar have been updated to provide loot for your spec on right-click, in the same manner as newer raid set tokens. The vendor functionality of these items has not been changed.

Classes
  • Warrior
    • Charge (and Intercept) now deals damage on arrival, and its snare begins after you hit your target.

World Quests
  • Broken Isles World Quest rewards now scale to item level 860 (was item level 845).

We’ll outline many more changes and additions to the World of Warcraft Patch 7.2 PTR in the coming weeks.

    Ahh, my bad. Anytime I had seen it the filename was always something like "TitanConstruct". Never saw any confirmation it was Sargeras' Avatar.

    Well, some people need SOME way to feel superior. The transmog hipsters are a laugh, best treat them as such seeing as how style and what looks good is entirely subjective. I've seen hipster transmogs that looked like something Tim Burton threw up... but, as long as they're happy with it, that's all fine and dandy! If they try to enforce their taste on others, that's just a waste of their own time.

    Sounds like the PTR. If stabilty is something you're looking for, the PTR is not for you. I recall during testing in WOD, the'd break the garrisons and not fix them for a week at a time on the PTR. Especially the first couple of weeks, they're probably doing a bunch of under the hood stuff that will make the whole thing unstable.

    Again, if you're looking for stable and reliable, the PTR is not for you.

    dont be shitbag.
    inspiring for me is hellfire citadel warrior set (inspired by warrior t2) and t20 mythic warrior set. these are inspirations. while most of these just seem like texture updates with few 3d poops added to the set.

    All Random Heroic dungeons now requires 825 item level to queue. yeah thatis just a bad change if they do that they will have to up the loot ilevel in normal ones because dont we have to do normals to get to ilevel higher anyways? whats the logic of 825?

    They arnt just texture updates. They are completely new models. New textures. The only thing that they share is the idea. And the general look. Look at the mythic hunter or druid and dare say "its just a reskin of the t6 atmor"

    it the same set, it looks way too similar to be considered as a new separate set. im a fanboi, just like you, not that much of slave it seems tho.

    tell me this, would you consider this, the same armor sets (mythic changing the helm and shoulder slots a bit and sticking on some 3d poopbits all over) done in todays standards OR whole new armor sets? even class hall sets could be considered less of a ripoff of the original CM armor sets. >.>

    1. The challenger mode to class hall sets are no where near the same as this. Those where simply slightly altered. But more or less recolours with only the helm and shoulders bring somewhat different models
    2. I'm. Not saying these are original
    But other then the appearance of the old set. This set is 100% from fresh. No simply adjustments. No simple recolours. It has the exact same amount of work put into it then any brand new their set. Other then the concept art is done.

    except your wrong, and hating just to hate it is 100% clear to anyone who isnt blinded by "OH FUCK BLIZZ FUCK DEM DEY ZTUPID"

    The class hall sets other then minor diferences on some peices like shoulders, helm, and belt, are recolours, hell the priest one is literally JUST a recolour, no difference

    these sets are 100% made from scrap, the only thing that was kept from the old sets is the appearance... the model, texture, and spell effects are all brand fucking new

    stop trying to be an edge lord, it just makes you look like an idiot who wants to cry about a big company


    orignal

    class hall, notice how the shoulders and helm are slightly different? the rest of the set is the EXACT SAME MODEL with different colours, that is a recolour... but aparently to you that took more effort then

    this

    to this...

    so your saying the first one took along time, is suepr amazing, and much better then the second that is lazy and stupid...

    u can not be mistaken with anyone else on this forum "CUZ OF UR L33T NERDZ TALK"

    class hall sets atleast altered something u know? smaller horns, less weighty shoulders, etc.

    anyway, do you honestly consider these the NEW sets?

    yes they are made from ground up, but apart from monk, dk and dh, they are all copied exactly, adding some pointy bits instead of texture in some places.

    stand your old t6 in front of ya and remake it in todays standards, oh boy, that sure as hell takes creativity.

    i often consider blizzard to be right in their decisions. in this case, i would love to see NEW sets emerging while u will defend blizzard without hesitation.

    the class hall sets were 80% the same set recoloured, and then the helm and shoulders slightly changed, some of them the belt slightly changed aswell, or for the priest just a right out recolour

    these sets were made from the ground up, new models, new textures, new 3d elementes andthe mythic versions add even more stuff ,upgrading the sets and making them look even cooler

    and who said the creativity mattered? every time they make a new set people complain to fucking hell, its nice to have updated versions of old sets people would/and do love to use, but dont/hate to because of how shitty they look these days

    and again somone who sees somone defending one argument and going "omfg they must be a white knight, they think blizz can do no wrong"

    blizzard fucks alot of shit up, but this is not one of them

    Meh, as much as I am pissed at the tier 8 upgrade sets, idk..I feel kind of proud at the same time. Was about time some old sets that everyone loved got upgraded, and updated to new content. Hell, we all LOVED the old sets. Coming from tier 8, to tier 7, to tier 6, they're all old sets that deserve an upgrade.

    It makes WOW feel new, ya know.

    So, it might not be a new set, but it's still a mighty fine decision...
