Friday PTR Round-Up

wowmap-ulduar

I have to admit it, although the stability of the PTR seems to still be a big issue. The progress of the Ulduar Raid, Class and Talent changes on top of even some “Undocumented” ones seems to indicate that we might be seeing the 3.1 Ulduar Patch sooner rather than later. That should be good news for some.

I’m sure we’ll see tons of QQ as people try and figure out how to dual spec effectively. Much less the 1,000g cost associated with it.

People will be wondering should they choose to spec a Farm PvE vs Raid PvE builds or should the spec a PvE vs. PvP build. And then I’m sure we’ll even have more QQ from those that will be asking, why stop at dual specs. Why can’t we have 3, 1 for Farming/Grinding, 1 for Raiding, and 1 for PvP!! But that’s just one of the changes going on. Let’s take a look at how things seem to be shaping up.


 MMO Champion has been steadily releasing gear and items sets. Including the T-8 mentioned on Tuesday (link) and now the PvP Gear from Wintergrasp.
