It was within the last month, we'll find out soon enough!
Heh. Didn't play my tank for a long time but decided to give it a go again out of boredom. Fully rested. From Level 85 to level 88 in just a few hours (6/7 in total I believe excluding breaks / other stuff) with dungeon rushing.
Press the queue button and before you can even blink you can enter some instance already. It really is crazy fast like that. I thought it was fast on my healer but that is nothing compared to my tank. I almost feel sorry for DPS.
Probably not worth it without any rested exp though. It is really fun though - they made tanking fun again! Now to wait another 1.5 week or something to be rested again.

Ptr build ready to download
Things gonna get real.
14 bosses but one of them is the new Sha of Anger. Also looks like one may either be a heroic only boss or the achievement is incorrect. And hooray for war between the Kirin Tor and Sunreavers, here's hoping that since Dalaran is on the move that some of the storyline/dailies will take place on it.
One of the new bosses is one of the friendly trolls from the island in STV from back in Vanilla. This patch can't come soon enough... unless you're a raider then may it not come out till you're done with progression.
Pterodactyl and Triceratops mounts!!

Fantastic nerf for PvP Frost Mages, thank god.
Dark Souls!
Nerf
Rogue buff, yay! (Pretty crazy before having to spend so much for it.) Some other good Rogue buffs, too much to list, and some relatively minor nerfs.
And an interesting change to Shockwave (Warriors), primarily a PvP move it seems.
Fuck yeah!
Also saw in there what looks like a new Spirit Beast, since it's a ghostly-looking Porcupine.
Also, what the hell is a Dinomancer? And how can I become one?
Looks like they decided to give Hunters a neat little gift in that their regular shots (Arcane, Kill Command, Chimera, Explosive) now apply Hunter's Mark baseline without the glyph.
Said glyph now becomes something else where you get 5% health when you Disengage.
Those are forest trolls, mostly. They're just big to begin with. The slimmer ones will probably be what they base the new playable darkspears off of though.
Spectral deathcharger seems redundant.
LOL
Actually, it looks like those are different heirlooms. They have new names.

Goddamn, it's like AQ Gates and/or Shattered Sun Offensive.
Sounds like a very, very good patch.
Even if I let my sub lapse for a bit, I'll definitely re-up by the time 5.2 releases on live servers.

Modesty becomes a woman
I should fuckin hope not.
They look amazing, but they're still based on the same skeleton as old ass orcs/trolls. I want brand new animations with more than 2 frames of movement as well as better quality.
What the PC models look like doesn't really bother me that much, I cover them up in newer higher quality armor all the time. How they move and what shape they are is the big deal.
Does that mean you no longer need to be in a raid group to kill world bosses and get a shot at loot? Just whatever faction started it, and get some shots in?
Yeah, also all bosses will respawn more frequently, including that one boss no-one but Yoshichan has ever seen in the Valley.
Cenarion Ward healing doubled? I am pretty excited for this. It was honestly already my favorite talent in that tree since I don't care about desperate prayer or insta-cast HT, this change is going to make it even more awesome.
For rogues haha... Saw that shadow focus nerf coming a mile away. Surprised it even launched that way anyway, we basically already had the talent once in wotlk and they "removed" it, sort of anyway. Prep becoming baseline is pretty nifty, increases our defensive capabilities more than anything imo, especially if you are running with the clos glyph. Can already see a nice use for mark of death in the mutilate rotation for those moments you have to reapply rupture and won't have any combo points afterwards, whatever though, it's already better than the crappy redirect talent.
Also is it just me or does that Druid t15 look like a warlock set? lol

Love it!!!I was thinking it had kind of a scarecrow look to it lol. I want it right now actually.
Spent the last 2 nights soloing old raids. Has been pretty fun.
Ulduar 10 offered a challenge in Thorim, just took getting the timing down right. ICC on the other hand was a cakewalk, had a friend come in and heal w/e the Green Dragon's name was, other than that had no problems. It gets even easier if you use control undead cause there's a mob that gives you 100% increased damage. Think I'll gather some tanking gear and start trying Cata raids.

Looks like they are updating heirlooms to go to 85, or heaven forbid, they're new heirlooms that you have to re-buy.
And they're finally adding offhand heirlooms!
Musty Tome of the Lost
Weathered Observer's Shield
Flamescarred Draconian Deflector

There's some intellect plate among them too. Guess they finally caved about dps being the preferred way to level.
This is why I love transmogrification.

Heirloom shields (and offhands) are long overdue. Think it's too late for me to really benefit at this point although I do have a newish paladin on Mal'Ganis that was only 30-something when I last left him.
The offhands are kind of pointless since people will have had the staves which every caster can use, though if you're starting a new toon, it might be nice to pair with the Devout Aurastone Hammer for certain specs/classes.
