New Blood Elf Questline in Patch 9.2.5

Recommended Posts

8uVbQ3S.jpg

In this post, we're looking at the new Blood Elf questline coming in Patch 9.2.5. This post contains story spoilers.

The Scourge invades Quel'thalas, which leads Lady Liadrin and Lor'themar to rally their forces in an effort to fend off their attack.

We see Salandria, a Blood Elf Orphan quest giver from the Burning Crusade, taking part in it. Lady Liadrin was her mentor and she was the Blood Elf Orphan you had to take to various places during Children's Week.

You'll go to Bastion and then return to wipe the Scourge from the Dead Scar.

After successfully repelling the threat, Lor'themar says he will "inform the Ebon Blade of what transpired". Lor'themar suspects matters in Northrend "may be even worse".

The questline rewards the Green Hawkstrider mount and Blood Knight Armor.

Athelarius made a really great video with all the cutscenes and RP that you can watch below.

While we were taking care of our business in the Shadowlands, it appears the Scourge now run rampant across Azeroth without their master.

As you probably know, Tirisfal Glades is getting some updates as well with an encrypted map of the zone and a brand-new model of Calia Menethil.

Do you think Patch 10.0 will be Scourge-related? Let us know in the comments!

Il'gynoth whisper: The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness.”

Bolvar and Darion dialogue from 9.2.5 PTR in the picture. 

TLDR: Either Anduin or Tyralion or The new Arbiter will claim the Icecrown Citadel Throne in 9.2.5.

I mean...part of me thinks "Duh, they'll ring that nostalgia bell for all it's worth!"

But...it'd feel like a diet cola WotLK.    Arthas is now, truly, dead and gone forever.     As are the strongest undead lieutenants he had (Sindragosa, Anub, Kel'Thuzud, etc).     Anyone that took their place now would feel like a B-Team undead squad.   

Moreover we literally just came back from the realm of death, dealing with many "More Undeader" characters and seeing way too much undead Sylvannas.

Denathrius is not off the board.

Also, we've spent later half of WoD foghting demons only to get Legion and fight more demons, so it's nothing new.

Denathrius isn't really related to the undead scourage at all though, except in his dreadlord manipulation (which encompassed all of creation).    Moreover he has a slight out of body problem at the moment.

I'm sure it'll figure into a story sooner or later but it doesn't feel like a problem solved in an expansion preamble...I'd like to say but the dreadlord "Super Plan" has had so many loop holes they might just chuck a vat of forsaken goo into the maelstrom, then toss the sword in, and voila, instant Denathrius resurrected with powers over the undead.    Because reasons.

Well, they sort of "demoted" previous villains when they introduced the Jailer. Arthas is gone, but we don't know if they will ever pull some alternate universe again. Hopefully they won't. The Void Lords remain, arguably the most powerful villains for now, but based on their brief description, they can be as "interesting" as the Jailer Zovaal. 

As for Denathrius, not sure how much he can do without Zovaal. Maybe his Dreadlords are still loyal to him, but what they can do, if they don't have a large army anymore. Doesn't seem like a major threat.

Out of all Death-related powers left Denathrius is a grade above everyone else, even if the Primus is de-facto creator of undeath and, by extension, the Scourge, so I think he might as well wrestle control over it. Plus Dreadlords were already ruling it breifly under Archimonde. And as a stray thought, San'layn do look rather Venthyr-y.

As for lacking body... well. We've been to Zereth Mortis, and seen what it took to create an Eternal One from a scratch. Guess having a new body built isn't that much of a problem, especially if your Dreadlords are scouring the entire thing already and your being is intact.

      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.
