The patch notes for patch 7.1.5 were a bit last minute. We didn’t have official patch notes for the latest iteration of the game until right at patch day — and even then, they were incomplete, leading to confusion over what Blizzard was really trying to do. Was this new game behavior a bug or simply an undocumented change? It was impossible to tell. However, the WoW team is hitting the ground running with 7.2 patch notes that are already live. Community Manager Lore says the team is working on improving communication this patch cycle, and they’re off to a solid start.
The best change on the list so far? Fixes to tab targeting, so hopefully patch 7.2 will be the end of hilarious dungeon wipes caused by tab targeting a pack of mobs across the room. Also in this PTR build, we’ll see new demon assaults, a pet battle dungeon, item set tracking in the transmog system, and ilevel updates for crafted and World Quest gear.
This patch (build 23436) isn’t all of 7.2, as Lore explains:
Welcome to the Patch 7.2 PTR! As we’re just getting our 7.2 public test phase underway, we’d like to give you some context into what you’ll see (and won’t see) in this first build.
Most of Patch 7.2’s major content isn’t enabled in this build – that’ll be coming in a few weeks. Our primary testing focus for this build will be Demon Assaults, as well as general game stability (e.g. crashes). 7.2’s Pet Battle Dungeon should also be available for testing.
The page you're viewing is not yet available on the new World of Warcraft website. Patch 8.0 Battle for Azeroth Pre-Patch; Patch 7.3 Shadows of Argus; Patch 7.2. The full version of Patch 7.2 is finally on its way to 'World of Warcraft' as developers recently announced an official release date for the massive update. Developers shared the patch's exact release date in a new post on the game's official website, revealing that players will be able to download it on March 28.

World of Warcraft 7.2.5 Patch Notes. Blizzard has finally kicked live the large World of Warcraft 7.2 update which comes with new content and of course game changes. World of Warcraft patch 7.2 is now live. The patch is live.
There’s a few other things of note that are enabled for initial testing in this build, but be aware that many of them are still heavily under development:
World Of Warcraft 7.2 Class Mounts
Transmog Item Sets: This is an update to the Transmogrification System that tracks the progress and collections of Raid and PVP item sets, and we’d love your feedback on it.
Tab targeting improvements: We’re hard at work making some improvements to this feature, and have a few updates in this build that should make tab targeting feel more natural. Please let us know what you think!
Some updated visual effects for Hunters, Death Knights, and Balance Druids: This is still very much in a work-in-progress state, but we’re making a few improvements to the look and feel of these classes, and want to hear your feedback.
You may also start to see some bits and pieces of an improvement we’re making to PvP gearing in 7.2 through the Obliterum Forge (which will no longer require completing a quest chain to unlock). The intent of this system is to allow players who have received multiple pieces of unwanted gear to exchange them for a piece of their choosing. It’s not yet ready for testing, but it’s on the way.
Eager to check out 7.2? Here are the full patch notes so far:
Patch 7.2 is now available for testing on the Public Test Realms (PTR). Participating on the Public Test Realms allows you to test a patch before it is released on live realms. Once you’ve had a chance to try things out, visit our PTR Discussion 7.2 forum to discuss the patch. To report issues or errors, use the in-game Submit Bug feature (found under Game Menu, Help, Submit Bug) or by visiting the PTR Bug Report 7.2 forum.
More features are coming! New information for 7.2 features that are still in-development will be added soon.
Please keep in mind that the notes below are not final, and details may be subject to change before the release of Patch 7.2.
Not all content listed in the PTR Patch Notes may be available for testing. Content may have a limited test window.
New Features
Demon Assaults
The Burning Legion is assaulting Azeroth with renewed determination. Look for Broken Isles zones to come under attack, fight to drive the Legion back, and defend the lands of your new allies.
Pet Battle Dungeon
Something nefarious is going on in the world of pet battles, and it’s up to you to look into it. If you have at least one level 25 battle pet, speak to Breanni in Dalaran to get directions to this new scenario.

Transmogrification Sets

Legion Reputation Updates Reputation earned beyond Exalted will now contribute towards earning additional rewards from Broken Isles faction emissaries.
Tab Targeting In Patch 7.2, tab targeting should feel more natural. While in combat, you will no longer be able to accidentally tab to a target that is out of combat with you. Furthermore, you’re no longer able to tab to a target that neither your character nor your camera can see. This is very much a work-in-progress, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
