Patch 7.2.5 PTR - Build 24076
A new build is on the way to the PTR!

This week’s update doesn’t bring any major additions to the PTR, but does have a few changes worth calling out.

We’re enabling the Kirin Tor Tavern Crawl for some additional testing. While it’s not exactly new to 7.2.5, we’d still appreciate any testing we can get, as we want to be sure we’ve ironed out all the bugs. There should be an NPC in Dalaran who can direct you to the right place.

We’ll also be turning on Black Temple Timewalking again. As you’ve probably surmised, last week’s test had to be cancelled at the last minute, so this time we’re just going to open it up for testing on Friday and leave it open all weekend. We’ve done some difficulty tuning since the last time it was available, so please give it a look and let us know how it goes!

The Chromie scenario will not be available for testing this week; as we’ve been playing through it ourselves, we’ve been finding opportunities to add some additional polish and shine in a few areas, and want to have all of that in place before opening it up for feedback. We really like the direction it’s headed, though, and hope you will too once we’ve got it ready for PTR in the next week or so.

There’s another round of class changes in this build, including some fairly significant changes to Vengeance Demon Hunter meant to help clean up the rotation a little bit (particularly in regards to Soul Fragments). Not all of these changes will be immediately apparent from reading tooltips, so we’d love to hear your thoughts after spending some time with them in-game.

You’ll also see a few changes to set bonuses in this build. We’re continuing to make tuning adjustments to Tier 20 set bonuses, and a few of those will be in this build. You may also see a number of changes to Tier 19 (Nighthold) set bonuses. This is to ensure that the Tier 20 pieces are a reasonable upgrade over Tier 19, without having to make the Tier 20 bonuses blatantly overpowered. Please keep in mind when testing these changes that we’re still working on overall class balance for 7.2.5.

Thanks, and happy testing!

    LOL 15k for the maps. The most I would pay would probably be 100g~ as they are only really helpful on a lvl1-57 character. Hopefully the prices will drop a lot, barely got any room for new leveling characters anyways. I wonder how we're going to get those heirloom upgrades. They would be so helpful with invasion leveling being a thing and leaving your characters in fairly poorly geared as they hit 110(and invasions being quite a struggle as a level 100-109 character as compared to a 110 just facerolling the mobs).

    I'm really interested in how the rings will be obtained. The last round of legendary items showed Blizzard is willing to give us non-RNG legendary items this expansion. I hope these rings follow that trend. That would give us 1 utility and 1 throughput legendary for every class that are obtainable in a targeted way.

    Heirloom upgrades are on the regular vendors, 5000 for armor, 7500 for weapons.

    Also I think 30k for 2 TOYs isn't outrageous as one-time purchases per account.

    WoW can never work like diablo and you'll always have more bitter people than happy ones, because of time gated content and lockouts. Diablo type games are fun if you can farm them until death, imagine a D3 where you had like 2 greater rifts for the week. Pointless. As a person who knows Blizzard though, I'm not surprised - they always go to the one extreme or the other, then admit "mistakes" once the expansion is over, clever strategy. Obviously the rng is somethin that brings them a lot of money so, expect even more of it.

    With legendaries becoming more "normal" (as in more people have them), i wish they would remove the dumb "max 2 legendaries" limit.
    Personally i have 2 equipped and 3 more in the bank that i cannot use.

    Why not just let people use them all, and instead add some rule that removes overpowered "on use" or "on equip" if you have more than X legendaries.. Atleast then you could use the item for base stats.

    Developer 1: "Hey guys look, the Frost DK T20 bonus is the same as Converge of Fates, so it might make it so 2 and 3 minute cooldowns maybe just maybe, can line up and be used as they are worthless without each other"
    Developer 2: "Hold my beer"

    Seriously, what kind of extreme high they had to reach to come with these beyond useless, uninteresting, bland pieces of manure.

    the bonuses themselfs where good enough that the ilvl 925 would beat out higher ilvl gear, yes they took the lazy mans way out. but i think they should just make the t20 pieces much stronger than their t19 counterparts so people who have bis legendaries in set pieces dont get such a clusterfuck

    The Frost ones are actually really strong too.....people complaining about them saying they aren't strong are just plain stupid.

    Why the fuck do so many people want this? Like seriously you'd expect us to run around with 4 pieces of t20 2 pieces of t19 an artifact and rest is full legendary? How would that be fun? Where would we get upgrades from? No where because every single slot is allready BiS and the only thing that could still get better would be our tier pieces. Do people actually think before suggesting stuff?

    You say that like it's a lot. We're talking the equivalent of $3 real money (if you buy tokens), or maybe 20 minutes crafting and posting in AH.

    The price of a cheap mount on the AH, considering you only have to buy it once for all characters to have all flightpaths for basically eternity, i think 15,000 isn't really very steep. I mean when you consider getting enough heirlooms for a chauffeur costs easily 3 times that.

    That said maybe that's just because I can pay 25 dollars to get almost 100k gold and am therefore, able to justify this shit a lot easier? lmao

    wow tokens let me be a filthy casual forever
