Patch 7.3.2: The Fate of Azeroth (Major Spoilers)

Recommended Posts

New sound files have been added in Patch 7.3.2 and they are full of heavy spoilers revolving around Illidan and the fate of Azeroth after Argus the Unmaker has been defeated.

Our friends over at MMO-Champion have uploaded new voicovers for Aggramar, Aman'thul, Eonar the Life-Binder, Illidan, Khadgar, Malfurion and Tyrande that contain major spoilers, proceed with caution!

From the recently added Dungeon Journal entry of Argus, we learn that the Pantheon will be aiding us in the final battle against Argus. Eonar provides Gift of the LifebinderGift of the Lifebinder, allowing players to resurrect during the encounter. Other perks in the encounter are  Gift of the SeaGift of the Sea or Gift of the SkyGift of the Sky.

Aman'thul VO

Aggramar VO

Eonar VO

Illidan VO

Illidan asks you to put some final matters to rest and deliver Alor'idal CrystalAlor'idal Crystal on his behalf. It holds messages for his brother Malfurion, Tyrande and you. After that you're supposed to place it atop Mount Hyjal upon the shores of the Well of Eternity. If you don't know what happens to Illidan after Argus is defeated, you can find more information here. Illidan, Malfurion and Tyrande received young models in Patch 7.3.2 that may be part of a flashback.

Malfurion VO

Tyrande VO

Khadgar VO

Now comes the real deal. Khadgar's new sound files reveal what's going on with Azeroth.

"The Legion is defeated, its master imprisoned, but in his final spiteful act, Sargeras may have doomed us all. Our world is wounded champion. Its life essence seeps out into the sands just as Magni foresaw. This mere drop of Argus' blood surges with incredible power, the might of a titan. If the blood of Azeroth also proves to be a source of such strength, those who seek to rule this world will stop at nothing to possess it. The days ahead may be dark indeed. For now, go to Silithus. Gaze upon the wound in the world with your own eyes. We will find a way to save Azeroth, I know it."

Remember Il'gynoth's quote "The king of diamonds has been made a pawn?" It all started with the Whispers of a Frightened World scenario.  From the transcript it is obvious that the final titan is wounded. There's a new map with a giant wound (hole) in Silithus.

The wound really reminds me of a Certain Old God who also happens to reside near/in Silithus.

This lore is probably some of the most interesting lore the game has had in a long time. Plot twists, old gods, chronicals, it's really awesome. 

We never killed C'thun, as if we did the whole world would be significantly wounded. We obviously just pushed him back, but he seems to have returned for round two...

Well what I meant is: The Wound looks like C'Thun's Eye.

It looks more like a stab wound from Sargeras, probably a final act of rage right before he gets imprisoned.

Legit though it does look more like stab wound, interested to see how this plays out.

A wound from Sargeras that hurt Azeroth, right smack in the middle of Silithus. Wounding Azeroth actually gives the Old Gods an advantage, which leads me to wonder why Sargeras decided to do that. My thought is that he will try one final time to destroy Azeroth once and for all but fail and only inflict a small wound. Still, as cool as the Legion's lore is in my opinion, I feel like the Old Gods and the Void are ultimately a bit more interesting. All of the stuff they say, the things that they might be doing to Jaina (if it's not a dreadlord it's obviously the Old Gods) and all the characters gravitating towards the power of the Void, like Alleria who will very likely have a large part to play next expansion. Even the Naaru and the light are beginning to become interestingly similar to the Void in some ways. Can't wait to see where it all takes us.

I think it is awesome that out of all of Azeroth, Silithus is going to have some type of overhaul. The relevance of Silithus kind of died in Vanilla and it was still dull to quest in, especially if you were on the wall between 55-60. The environment of the area, I always thought was impeccable but then again there really wasn't much going on...I think it was just the general creepy vibe from the unknown, random whispers and eerie music. Regardless, I think they picked a prime area on Azeroth for 110-120...content...especially if this could lead us to the underground city of Nyalotha

It's a phased version of Silithus.

Yeah it looks like a stab from Sargeras. Might awaken some good sleeping Old Gods.

I imagine they won't be too happy either.

All this right here, this is why I still play this game.  It's like an entire universe.  So much history.  Dedication on player and dev team alike.  

It's not like FF games where they change every game, or other brands that try hard and die out after a few cheap Xpacs.  

This game is a behemoth.  Every xpac is a new head on the hydra.  It's great.

The fact that there are hundreds of novels, comics, short stories and everything around it helps to create such a great universe. The lore just goes on and on and on. If you truly wanted to start from 0 and check everything, I mean... it would take months.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
