5.2 PTR: Throne of Thunder Dungeon Journal, Loot Preview
The Dungeon Journal was updated in the latest PTR build to include details on more Tier 15 encounters, such as Jin'rokh the Breaker, Dark Animus, and Twin Consorts. Encounter testing is happening pretty frequently on the PTR, so hopefully this will be a handy reference during 5.2 raid testing! You can also check out the Effect section on each of the spell pages to see how hard everything hits for in LFR, normal, and heroic difficulty.
We also have a teaser of some normal (ilvl 522) and heroic (ilvl 541) loot.
This is very preliminary
as the names and models are clearly placeholders and there are some obvious itemization holes, as well as no mention of
Thunderforged
items. It's still neat to get a sense of what stat budgets are for Tier 15 though. (Again, I can't stress enough how preliminary the items are.)

Patch 5.1 Hotfixes, Ghostcrawler on Class Balance
Busy day for Blizzard--they posted some
incentives to keep 25-player raiding alive in 5.2
, launched a new
5.2 PTR build

New Patch 5.2 Raid Charm: Mogu Charm of Fate
There's a new currency in 5.2 that raiders will need to acquire for their bonus loot rolls--the
Mogu Charm of Fate
. More details to come, but Daxxarri went over the basics this evening.
Большой амулет удачи
will stick around, but only be used for bonus rolls on 5.0 content--having more of these charms available will help newer players gear up faster from older raids. This also goes hand in hand with Blizzard's decision to increase Tier 14 LFR loot droprates in 5.2. On the PTR, they're easier to acquire--they're
rewards from select quests
and WoW Insider discovered that they
now stack to 20
.
But for Tier 15 content, you'll be using a new type of coin,
Mogu Charms of Fate
, instead.
Just for clarity's sake, once patch 5.2 is live,
Большой амулет удачи
will only apply to
Подземелья Могу'шан

Developer Watercooler: Encounter Tuning by Watcher
Lead Encounter Designer Watcher just posted a developer blog explaining how and why Blizzard changes encounters once they're live, as well as how that affects everyone from bleeding-edge heroic raiders to those enjoying LFR.
He specifically looks at
Душелов Гара'джал
,
Ваятель янтаря Ун'сок
, and
Will of the Emperor
--encounters which either suffered from players using unintended tactics or were simply tuned to be more difficult than thought after internal testing. If you're curious how Blizzard decides which part of encounters get hotfixed and how they come up with their specific solutions, this blog is for you.
Oh, and we also really like the eyeball hanging out with the Azerothian watercooler at the top of the blog.

5.2 PTR: Raid and Scenario Preview, No New Dungeons
Today's 5.2 feature covers information about upcoming encounters--raid bosses and scenarios! While some bosses have incomplete entries so far and the loot tables aren't known yet, you can still get a sense of what the encounters are like with the Dungeon Journal. We think it's pretty neat that the Dungeon Journal is deliberately vague about
Ra-den
, a heroic-only encounter, by saying he's instead "shrouded in mystery"--brings back a sense of player discovery.
And as there's no new 5-player dungeons planned for the rest of MoP, we've highlighted our 5.2 scenario summaries to give you a taste of upcoming small-group content.
No New Dungeons in 5.2
People who read the
5.2 PTR Patch Note Preview
may have noticed that there was no mention of new 5-player dungeons. Zarhym clarified that this was intentional, as it would disrupt the current progression model.
LFR has taken the place of dungeons for gearing-up mid-expansion. While players enjoyed
Терраса Магистров
at the end of Burning Crusade, in the current raid context, it's strange for a dungeon's loot to be on par with raid gear. Players were unhappy with how 4.3 dungeon loot was compa

News Round Up: Heroic Mode Boss Changes, Justice Points in 5.2
Today's news round up covers some heroic boss nerfs, as well a a few 5.2 teasers--pet battles will have a chance to give you
Малый амулет удачи

nerf from last week, so Blizzard explained their reasoning in great detail.

10 and 25-man Lockouts No Longer Shared in 5.1 on KR Realms
So it's starting to look like 5.1 might have some surprises in store for raiders. The Korean World of Warcraft website
had this update today
stating that in 5.1, 10 and 25-man lockouts will no longer be shared for KR realms--a call back to the days of Wrath of the Lich King where the lockouts were separate and many considered 25-man raids to be vastly more beneficial than 10-man raids. Additionally, 10 and 25-man ilevels will be different giving raiders a further benefit for tackling 25-man raids.
Of course, it remains unseen if this will transition at any point to other realms. At this time, it doesn't appear to be the case.
However, if you look at World of Warcraft's recent PvE scene, it's been obvious that there's a decline in 25-mans that's both felt by the community and heard by the developers. There isn't really a reason to raid 25-mans over 10-mans, as far as time versus reward is concerned; it's hard to maintain a 25-man roster and remain competitive in today's Azeroth. Even world firsts are being tackled by 10-mans

Mists of Pandaria: Starting Your Legendary
To view an updated version of this guide for Patch 5.1, please click
here.
There's a new legendary quest series in Mists of Pandaria and anyone that's 90 can begin working on it. Multiple people in your raid can work on it at the same time, and it can even be completed in LFR. We'll show you what you need to get started this week.
A few things set this apart from past legendaries:
All players in a raid can work on the legendary questline at the same time.
Legendaries are for everyone. Players complete quests for legendary gems, which are then socketed into Sha-Touched weapons from raids. There are nine weapons classified as Sha-Touched, covering all possible specs.
With this system, guild are only limited by the number of Sha-Touched weapons they see each week.
Legendary gems can be placed into weapons from LFR. Quest items can also be looted in LFR.
This legendary series will span the expansion, with more elaborate rewards each tier.
The reward for this first tier is an epic weapon with a legendary gem, not an actual legendary weapon.
