Patch 3.2.2 Information (Already?!) | August 14, 2009

So, Blizzard just posted notice for the new content patch 3.2.2, and there’s been some interesting discussion going on over at the forums (Read:  Much QQ)

The one thing I’m interested in:

General
The Brood Mother Returns
After years of lurking in her lair battling the many brave adventurers who travelled from afar to challenge her, Onyxia returns to commemorate World of Warcraft’s five-year anniversary.

• Onyxia has been scaled to offer new challenges to level 80 players and is now available for testing in 10- and 25- player modes.
• Adjustments have been made to the encounter to keep it fit for modern raiding, but the fundamental experience of fighting the Brood Mother will remain, as will the horror of the Deep Breaths!
• Some classic items Onyxia offered level 60 players will have their stats adjusted appropriately for level 80 players.
• Brood of Onyxia, a very rare 310%-speed mount modeled after Onyxia herself will be available for the luckiest of challengers.

Also, there’s something about DK Ghouls having Gnaw’s cooldown dropped down a bit.

Oh, and Paladins getting 10% taken off Righteous Fury and Touched By the Light now scales off Strength (60% maximum talented) instead of Stamina (30% maximum talented).  Overall, seems like things got balanced a bit.  Of course, everybody on the forums is still whining about Ardent Defender. Oh well.

Tanked a couple heroics for some guild members last night, was a blast.  I’m sitting pretty at 543 Defense now with decent avoidance considering I’m almost purely stamina stacking x_x.  I’ll try to get a couple heroic Trial of the Champion runs in this weekend so I can see if the shoulders, helm and 2hander drop.  I’m also considering going frost as my other Dual Spec when I eventually purchase the option.

But that’s neither here nor there right now.
