People began their mad rush to cap their valor points for the new item upgrades, but it turns out they only had a week to do so! Sneaky Blizzard.

It introduces 2 more upgrades to patch 5.4 PvE gear, for a total of 16 ilvls in upgrades. Patch 5.4.8 drops today, much sooner than I expected it to be. No more worrying about that ilvl number.Ĭontinue reading Patch 6.2.3: Hey, something to write about! → That’s the benefit of taking a break from raiding. I would probably grind these if I were still raiding regularly, of course. I’ll be happy to upgrade my 720 gun to 730 and call it a day from there basically. I get why they’re doing this, but it is not an incentive to me. Apexis is almost entirely irrelevant with this patch with better Mythic Dungeon rewards, and the fact that Baleful tokens can proc ilvl 695 without using an empowered fragment. This may be a new event, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it just replaced the Apexis event. Especially since LFR is going to reward some too.

I mean, I get that they want to give people a reason to do dungeons again, but it seems weird. I don’t like that you can’t get the points from doing regular raids. I know I’ll get some incidentally from doing stuff and I’ll use those on my weapon, then a trinket (won’t bother using it on Mirror of the Blademaster since the on use doesn’t scale with ilvl), then the highest ilvl/stat budget pieces from there. This isn’t something I am going to grind at all. It looks like you can do two upgrades of 5 ilvl per item, for a total of 10. Valor is coming back purely for item upgrades. Here’s some quick thoughts on the main features: Just fresh out of stuff to talk about in this downtime and complete lack of news… until today! Patch 6.2.3 was announced today and it adds quite a bit for a minor patch.
