We have a smaller batch of development notes for the 12.0.5 PTR today. The focus is mostly on Warriors, as all three specs get some tuning. Frost Mage and Devourer DH also get a few changes, and Ritual Sites and Void Assaults get plenty of bug fixes. We’re also getting new transmog options for weapon sheathing, including one to hide them when sheathed.
