Blizzard triples drop rate of rare WoW Fallen Charger mount

The Fallen Charger mount has been one of the rarest, most elusive items added to World of Warcraft in the game’s latest patch, Chains of Domination.

I'd been fighting to see this ending for hours (months, technically, if you count my time in early access), and in roguelikes, it feels better than usual to see an ending. But while I was definitely a little too proud of putting together a set of abilities and perks that shredded the boss after they wrecked me just a few tries ago, that wasn't why I felt tears welling up.
