Practical next steps

What to do after this patch

The checklist below is derived from the indexed highlights on this version record. Follow the linked source for complete notes and verify time-sensitive details in game.

Verify event timing and rewards

Treat event content as time-sensitive: confirm the in-game schedule, then use collection and guide pages to plan what you want to earn.

Browse collections ->

Review your setup

A systems change is a good moment to revisit talent choices, macros, keybinds, and interface habits rather than blindly preserving an older setup.

Open keybind planner ->

Re-check your character plan

Use the patch record as the starting point, then validate your spec, talent choices, and gear plan against the activity you actually play.
