by **TheHidden01** Thu Jan 17, 2013 3:04 pm

Blizzard updated the official 5.2 patch notes a few hours ago. Some of the updates are consolidated changes from the last few PTR builds, but many of them are new. You can see the full update at the official WoW community site, but we've compiled all the changes. Check out some of the highlights below.

- The continuation of the Wrathion questline will unlock a new legendary metagem, Crown of the Heavens.
- Three new spectral porcupine spirit beasts have appeared across Pandaria as tameable beasts.
- There is now an option to show absorb effects (such as Power Word: Shield) on player, target, party and raid frames. This feature is currently enabled if you turn on the predictive healing option. Unlike predictive healing, absorb effects will display for enemy targets.
- The Reputation panel on the character screen will now let players know which reputations they have purchased and used Grand Commendations for.
