Where is my custom lag tolerance?!


The cvar was renamed and is now: "SpellQueueWindow". There wasn't a way to change it for players who had leftover non-default values there.

Is this trait activated in PvP? Didn't notice my HP changing inside arena after getting it.


Yes. The trait is active in PvP, but don't forget: all players are granted the stamina from this trait whether they have the trait or not.

hi there. Noticed that unstable nether portals have been removed and nether portal disruptors cannot be obtained from vendor.


The portals and the items to activate them are part of the Nether Disruptor building. They’ll only be around when the Disruptor is active.

7.2.5 DHs who currently have both BT Warglaives, will they need to re-earn DH-only versions or will they convert?


If you have the BC achievement on any character, you’ll get the DH-specific transmog appearance when you defeat TW Illidan on any character.

If 7.2.5 DOES go live next week, does cutting edge end a week before tomb, instead of tomb week?


Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge will remain available until Tomb of Sargeras opens (one week after Patch 7.2.5).

Will we get higher than 905 gear in the weekly M+ cache on patch day if we complete a +15 the week leading up to the patch?


The new level of Mythic Keystone 11-15 rewards will become active the week that the Mythic difficulty of Tomb of Sargeras opens.

Will emissary caches be reset come 7.2.5? Will we get three new ones, or is it safe to have some undone come patch day?


Emissary quests should not be affected by Patch 7.2.5.

Can we start getting the 7.2.5 legendarys tomorrow with the patch,or do those not start dropping until Tomb opens?


New 7.2.5 legendary items can drop immediately with the patch release.

All legendaries will drop at ilvl 940 until Tomb of Sargeras opens.
