Patch-6.2

This week's PTR raid testing schedule for Hellfire Citadel has been released, with testing available for Heroic, Mythic, and Raid Finder bosses spread throughout the weekend and concluding on Monday.

A thread on the World of Warcraft forums was brought to the attention of Lead Game Designer Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas regarding the legendary ring. Why did the developers go for a raidwide effect instead of providing individual bonuses? Why does someone else get to be in charge of when the ring activates? Why isn't the ring fair or balanced for this spec versus that spec?

Today’s title rhymes, a feat I am excessively proud of. But enough about my terrible rhyming skills: let’s dive right into today’s questions, where we talk about The Queue, elemental runes, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, and more!

No, we still don't have a release date for patch 6.2, but we do have a fresh update to the patch notes for the game's next big content patch.

The latest schedule for this week's Hellfire Citadel raid testing has been released, with three different encounters scheduled for testing tomorrow afternoon. Note that the majority of these encounters will be tested at Mythic level difficulty, which requires 20 players to participate.

This week begins the Darkmoon Faire, which runs from from May 3 until May 10th.

Welcome to the 12th episode of Blizzard Watch's podcast! This week it's reader emails and details about patch 6.2.

We've seen that in many ways this Draenor seems to mirror the one we know today as Outland, which suggests that The Burning Legion is coming... but probably not in the way we expect.

Though this has previously been mentioned in passing, we feel it's worth mentioning in more detail: early in patch 6.2 PTR cycle, Felblood was added as the new crafting material for upgrading crafted items above the current maximum ilevel. The source of Felblood, like Savage Blood, was the Barn -- by trapping new mobs in Tanaan Jungle, you'd have a chance to get Felblood from work orders. However, Felblood has been replaced by Felblight.
