That has to be a record. For as long as I have been following WoW, over five years, I have never seen Blizzard go from
announcement to PTR that fast. It took two days, less than 48 hours, for
Onyxia's retuning to go from a blue post to actual content on the PTR. Thanks to the data mining fiend known as Boubouille we've already have a first look inside level 80 Onyxia's succulent loot table.
Check out Boubouille's finds
here. He'll have more as the day moves on, most likely.
The mount is what excites most people, and at 310% flying speed, it should. The current model is exactly what I would expect a Disney-ed Onyxia to look like. She's almost friendly! Unfortunately it appears that scoring one of these mounts is going to be
incredibly difficult. Zarhym articulates it best, "
The drop rate will be extremely low. One day I will have it, though as soon as I loot it I'll probably be struck by lightning on a sunny day and attacked by a shark, all while in the presumed comfort of my living quarters." Sounds like Winterstrike and Juggynaut will be kept busy for quite some time.
Boubouille also had me scratching my head at some new spells he discovered. Mohawk related spells that are appropriately title after Mr. T's most famous saying. The
PTR patch notes make no mention to the spells, so one can only assume that they are...I have no idea. I am truly and utterly stumped as to what use they could be other than some sort of crazy joke. Perhaps Mr. T is making an appearance
alongside Ozzy?
The
current patch notes for Patch 3.2.2 stick with the general
rule of thumb for incremental patches, short and sweet. Solidsamm is pissed though, a 30% reduction to Fan of Knives is going to drastically lower his overall DPS on numerous trash mobs. Hopefully the mass of raiders being indoctrinated to fear
Deep Breath and grinding away at a purple dragon will cause him to forget the nerf.
When do you expect the patch to be out?
