6.2 PTR Patch Notes – May 26th Update
by Its_Immanis - 9 years ago show comments
Rygarius has updated the 6.2 Patch Note blog with the most recent set of updates available for testing on the PTR.
As always, items marked in BOLD are updates or changes, ITALIC items are removed items, and strikethrough items are remnants from Blizzard’s notes and are the same as italicized items.
A few items of note:
- Bonus rolls can be used in dungeons set to Mythic difficulty.
- The Personal Loot improvements noted in the blog post here are being implemented.
- Highmaul and Blackrock are receiving their traditional nerfs, which should allow raid teams to get a leg up into the next tier of content. Along with the nerfs come the removal of the Ahead of the Curve achievements for these raids.
As should always be remembered with patch notes and items on the PTR: These are a work in progress and are always subject to change based on the outcome of testing.

- Increased overall drop rates on Personal Loot mode and defeating a boss now awards a fixed number of items based on eligible group size.
- Example: For a party of five players, Dungeon bosses are now guaranteed to drop at least 1 item with a chance for 2 items to drop. The final boss of the Dungeon will now drop 2 items with a chance for 3 items to drop.
- The raid or party now sees when someone in the group wins an item on Personal Loot.
- The last Dungeon boss on non-Personal Loot mode received an adjustment and now drops 2 items (down from 3 items).
