Killing Firelord Nomi for 7.2 PTR Stress Testing
Players took their revenge on Nomi today as part of 7.2 PTR stress testing, a Blizzard event designed to test server strain by encouraging players to free-for-all PvP in Dalaran. Nomi was by far everyone's kill target, although he proved difficult to kill due to dangerous abilities like
Firestorm
mixed in with the stress test lag.

Adjustments to Legendary Items in 7.2
Legendary improvements are on the way in the next 7.2 PTR build to address the power gap between throughput legendaries and those with more niche benefits. Blizzard plans to add throughput effects to legendaries that lacked those bonuses, or additional secondary stats. Additional changes include revamps to legendaries with poor design, and number tuning to make sure the throughput legendaries which can be used in every situation do not dominate every situation over the niche legendaries.
More legendary improvements are slated for 7.2, including slot-specific legendary targeting, spec-specific bad-luck protection, and crafted BoE legendaries. Read up on these additions in our
7.2 Legendary Overview
