Update: Build 16634 (Release Candidate) ³

Hotfix 45

Bald wird der Build 16634 auf die Testserver für den kommenden Patch 5.2 aufgespielt. In diesem Update werden hauptsächlich nur weitere Klassenänderungen durchgeführt, welche bisherige Schwachstellen ein wenig ausbalancieren sollen. Zusätzlich wurde dieses Update mit der Bezeichnung “Release” gekennzeichnet.

Release Candidate

Blizzard beschriftet die letzten Versionen ihrer neuen Updates auf dem öffentlichen Testserver  immer mit dem Wort “”Release“. Sobald ein Patch damit markiert wurde, dauert es meistens nicht mehr sehr lange, bis das jeweilige Update die Liveserver erreicht.

Beute von Nalak, The Storm Lord

Neben einigen Klassenänderungen wurde auch endlich die Beute für den neuen WeltbossNalak, The Storm Lord” auf dem Testserver implementiert. Bei Nalak handelt es sich um eine riesige donnernde Kobaltwolkenschlange, welche die Tore zum Thron es Donners bewacht. Daher wird er auch erst in der fünften Phase der Eroberung der Insel des Donners freigeschaltet und kann vorher nicht besiegt werden.

Wie bereits viele Bosse vor ihm, so droppt auch Nalak ein neues Reittier, welches vom Aussehen her dem Boss gleicht. In diesem Fall handelt es sich dabei um die Reins of the Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent, die ihr mit einer sehr geringen Wahrscheinlichkeit von dem Boss erhalten könnt. Die restlichen Gegenstände bestehen aus einer Mischung aus Season 13 Sets und T-15 Sets, welche ein Gegenstandslevel von 493 bzw. 522 haben.

Hier sind nur einige ausgewählte Gegenstände als Beispiels aufgelistet. Eine vollständige Liste der verfügbaren Beute könnt ihr unter diesem Link finden.

Professions

Archeology

  • Mantid Archaeology has been added. Players will be able to uncover common and rare Mantid artifacts.

These ingots will allow blacksmiths to recreate powerful weapons from the past, updated for Mists of Pandaria. These power weapons will be bind-on-equip and making them will take a significant amount of dedication.
  • For blacksmiths who have lapsed in their trade (i.e., haven’t practiced blacksmithing since the Burning Crusade), there is a (not necessarily cost efficient) way to catch-up. Blacksmiths at your faction’s shrines in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms will be able to teach you training plans for crafting common household items using Ghost Iron.

  • The design for uncut Primal Diamonds requires Spirits of Harmony and large quantities of uncommon gems.

Leatherworking

  • Patterns for Magnificence of Leather and Magnificence of Scales could be found via world drops. These patterns allow the leatherworker to create Magnificent Hides more economically and share a daily cooldown. In addition to producing a Magnificent Hide, the leatherworker will learn a new 5.2 raid or PvP pattern.

Tailoring

  • >New raid and PvP recipes have been added, and tailors can acquire these new recipes via the daily Imperial Silk cooldown.
