Mythic Nighthold Video Guides by FatbossTV
Here at Wowhead we've been previewing the 7.2 PTR pretty heavily, but we haven't forgotten about 7.1.5. FatbossTV, the author of our written Nighthold Strategy Guides, released the first five Mythic Nighthold video guides this week.
This is also a good time to remind everyone that
the Tomb of Sargeras raid is not coming with the launch of 7.2.
You still have a lot of time to progress through Nighthold.
Ahead of the Curve: Gul'dan
is not removed with the launch of 7.2, it is removed when the Tomb of Sargeras raid goes live.

Recent Blizzard posts address player questions about Nighthold Tank Balance, Holy Paladin design, the 7.2 Reap Souls change for Affliction Warlocks, and issues related to Windwalker Monks and relic choices due to a lack of weapon scaling.
