Patch 3.2.2

Patch 3.2.2 is a content patch that includes a revamp of Onyxia to level 80 content in celebration of World of Warcraft's 5th anniversary.

General

 * The Brood Mother Returns
 * After years of lurking in her lair battling the many brave adventurers who travelled from afar to challenge her, Onyxia returns to commemorate World of Warcraft's five-year anniversary.
 * Onyxia has been scaled to offer new challenges to level 80 players in 10- and 25-player modes.

Battlegrounds
