Raid Guides for Cataclysm Classic

The raids of Cataclysm were originally released over the course of three tiers of content, otherwise known as tiers 11, 12, and 13. Phase Four is the final Phase of Cataclysm, bringing with it the new raid Dragon Soul, three new dungeons, and a whole arsenal of new gear to be obtained!

The Dragon Soul raid takes place within the shattered remnants of the Wyrmrest Temple, where players face off against numerous, unique challenges in a desperate attempt to stop Deathwing himself, the corrupted Aspect of Earth, from destroying all of Azeroth. Players will first need to cut through the Old Gods minions, fight their way through an onslaught of twisted and corrupted Twilight Dragons, finally culminating in the dramatic final battle on Deathwing's back as he soars through the sky, threatening to annihilate everything in his wake./p>

While the Baradin Hold is not a Phase Four exclusive raid, Phase Four brings an additional boss for players to defeat here. This new boss will drop some Tier 13, 397 item level gear set pieces, as well as tons of Season 11 PvP gear set-gear and off-set pieces.
