Patch 6.2 Ptr

One of the constant discussions I've seen in my time covering World of Warcraft is that the game has a host of older content that is still fun and interesting and visually well designed, and all of that legacy content is sadly irrelevant as soon as the next expansion comes along. Well, one of the features of patch 6.2 that aims to change that is Timewalking. And Timewalking seems set to make us actually want to run older content again.

Professions now has a lengthy section of its own, detailing changes to upgrade items, crafting material changes, and for Jewelcrafters, some delightful news -- the addition of an Immaculate tier of epic-quality gems that provide +75 bonus to a given stat.

The patch 6.2 PTR has finally arrived and we have some hunter business to discuss. The biggest news is the removal of Aspect of the Fox. Why did this happen, and how does it affect the average hunter?

Raid testing for Hellfire Citadel is off to an immediate start -- testing for Heroic Iron Reaver begins tomorrow, April 17. With PTR raid testing, bosses are only available for a limited window of time, so be sure to clear your schedule if you'd like to try this one out.

The patch notes for World of Warcraft's latest installment have gotten some additional polish on the test realms tonight.

Timewalking now has an explanation to go with all the glimpses of information we pulled together last night.

Hellfire Citadel is the new raid in Patch 6.2, and while there are no boss fights to be had just yet, the PTR server is currently letting players queue for LFR and take a look at the zone. We'd be remiss if we didn't take a peek, and of course we took plenty of screenshots of the interior and exterior of the zone.

These aren't the final patch notes, but let's be honest: most monks took a look and either went to shout on the forums or to the character deletion screen.

World of Warcraft's patch 6.2 is finally headed to the game's public test realms — we've got the full patch notes.
