World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara has been released on the PTR and Blizzard has shared additional details of what’s coming in this PTR.

　　Battle for Azeroth’s next major content update became available on Blizzard’s Vendor CDN last week and details about its contents surfaced somewhat later. The patch has now been made available for testing on World of Warcraft’s PTR and Blizzard has posted some development notes. As covered earlier, the 8.2 patch on the PTR will offer various class changes, including changes for Hunters, Demon Hunters, Rogues, Warriors and Druids.

　　“We’re deploying our first build for the upcoming content update—Rise of Azshara—to our Public Test Realms”, community manager Kaivax wrote. “It is now testable.”
