Kinda expected this. Good to know 8.2 is in a playable state at least.

[Hyrja]

Did they mention any class changes at all?

We'll know the final boss after the raid? I wonder how.

Balance and adjustment changes are never the domain of general overviews like this, that is for class-design specific watercoolers. But if you're expecting "we added new spells to this class and are completely changing its rotation" you're going to be disappointed.

Tl;dr for someone who doesn't fancy youtubers?

My guess is, like how Argus appeared in the sky after Tomb of Sargeras, we'll literally be seeing our final boss in the aftermath of AEP. Either by Sylvanas making her move, N'Zoth awakening, or something else.

Yay! This is even better haha, I love T&E! Watching it right now.

Taliesin and Evitel are great though. It's an hour long video that came out 15 minutes ago so hard to give a tl;dr

[Drekmar]

Taliesin and Evitel are great though.

Subjective matter.

Will wait. I care only for stuff that Feasel missed or didnt disclose.

They give a very generic tldr in their description so they earn bonus points for that.

Basically they got to play the 8.2 (encrypted) build and also spent "hours" quizzing Ion about the patch.

Yeah but I assume Drek meant tl;dr of the actual information, not the situation.

[Nathanyel]

OMG! Revamped Brewfest? YES.

Well, it's only fitting that Brewfest is the first to receive a revamp, it was the first that received a makeover in BC, introducing event bosses and specific rewards (mounts etc.)

Also "YOUR HEALS HAVE A VERY HIGH CHANCE TO GIVE THE TARGET HASTE"

Damage Dealers: Stand in voidzone, receive DPS buff, got it.

Oh look glyphs are back

The Heart of Azeroth revamp is literally just bringing back Prime Glyphs.

The Punchcard Trinket is literally just glyphs on an item slot.

Glyphs never gave new combat abilities. Obviously the UI is similar, and the Punchcards will use the gem UI, but the effects are very different.

My guess is, like how Argus appeared in the sky after Tomb of Sargeras, we'll literally be seeing our final boss in the aftermath of AEP. Either by Sylvanas making her move, N'Zoth awakening, or something else.

It sounded like it was based on the dungeon journal entries for Eternal Palace.

So potentially if it says something like "try and survive Azshara's fusion with N'zoth" or something, then you know that that superzshara is gonna be the big bad. If it says "help Sylvanas absorb the soul of Azshara into the Black Blade of the Empire" you know it's Sylvie, or "help Xal'atath consume N'zoth to defeeat Azshara" it's probably best blade, or something like that.

[TVST]

I'm going to guess Nzoth (see: his fish model) is somehow part of the final boss fight with Azshara, and you fight them at the same time. So the final boss is someone else.

[Prophet June Bug]

So for the endboss of BfA, Taliesin basically has an idea of what the endboss will be based on the dungeon journal info, but he won't reveal it until their weekly reset video (lame).
All he revealed about the raid right now is that:
Lady Ashvane is a boss in AEP

Edit: Also Azshara raid will be 2-3 weeks after 8.2 launches he says.

Edit Edit: Raid will probably launched July 16th based on the current PvP reward schedule, meaning 8.2 will likely release July 2nd-3rd, during the FFXIV expansion as many people expected. Nazjatar and Mechagon will not be gated.

[TVST]

Lady Ashvane is a boss in AEP

Ha, everyone called this.

[Fahrad Wagner]

So, the final boss of BfA will be revealed during the final cinematic of the Eternal Palace. Ladies and gentlement, all bets are open!

Sylvanas, Nzoth, or both at the same time.

[Gurmech]

My bet is Dimensius. Just a feeling.
