WoW MoP Classic Phase 3 The Thunder King Thunderforging System Explained

Recommended Article

• WoW MoP Classic Phase 3 Preview | Isle Of Thunder, Throne Of Thunder Raid, And Major PTR Updates

  Phase 3 of WoW MoP Classic seems to be just around the corner. The official announcement includes two PTR tests, and they've also released Mists of Pandaria Patch 5.5.3 PTR developer log.

  The developer log reveals most of the content players are interested in, including how to unlock new zones, world bosses, and the much-anticipated Thunderforging system.

  

  New Zones

  The new Phase 3 zone, the Isle of Thunder, will be unlocked similarly to Sunwell in The Burning Crusade or Ahn'Qiraj war effort in WoW Classic. Players will need to complete daily quests, unlock additional questlines, and find rare elites and treasures to gradually unlock this zone.

  World Bosses

  Oondasta is located at the northernmost point of the Isle of Giants, and players can test it with the developers on November 7th at 3 PM.

  Another World Boss, Nalak, is equivalent to Sha of Anger in Phase 3, dropping Class Tier Sets and current PvP season gear. However, Nalak will only appear after Thunder Isle is fully unlocked, making it part of the final phase.

  Throne Of Thunder Raid

  Throne of Thunder contains 12 unique boss fights. Its PTR testing period is as follows:

  • Round 1: November 4th, 10:00 AM PST to November 7th, 8:00 AM PST.
  • Round 2: November 14th, 10:00 AM PST to November 17th, 8:00 AM PST.

  Mogu Runes Of Fate

  Phase 3 will introduce Mogu Runes of Fate, which are used for bonus rolls in Throne of Thunder raids, Nalak, and Oondasta. There is a weekly cap on how many Mogu Runes you can obtain, similar to Elder Charms of Good Fortune, with each Mogu Run costing 50 Lesser Charms of Good Fortune.

  Thunderforging System Changes

  Thunderforging system was quite controversial in the original Mists of Pandaria. Initially, Thunderforging system gave equipment dropped from Throne of Thunder (Normal or Heroic difficulty) or obtained through extra dice rolls a chance to become Thunderforged items, gaining an additional 6 Item Levels.

  The system was entirely based on RNG, which made gear acquisition highly reliant on luck, easily leading to conflicts between players over loot. Therefore, the developers made some changes in WoW MoP Classic.

  The developers decided to allow players to use Justice Points to upgrade non-Thunderforging Throne of Thunder gear twice, each time increasing the item level by 3, for a total increase of 6 item levels, while Thunderforged gear can no longer be upgraded.

  This change also reduced the randomness, lessening the frustration of Thunderforging gear drops, while still making bonus rolls and non-Thunderforging gear valuable. Additionally, Thunderforged gear saves Justice Points needed for upgrades, so it remains valuable, but won't cause excessive competition due to its overwhelmingly powerful stats.

  Overall, the overall item level of the raid will be higher than in the original phase, slightly reducing the difficulty of raids. However, given that Thunderforging raids are significantly more difficult than T14 (such as Mogu'shan Vaults), this change is reasonable and beneficial in WoW MoP Classic.

  Finally, the number of attempts to challenge Ra-den - the hidden final boss of Throne of Thunder (Heroic difficulty only) - is limited. Raids must defeat him within 30 attempts, or he will disappear, and players will have to wait until the following week.

  

  Challenge Modes And Rewards

  Phase 3 Challenge Modes now include Platinum Medals, requiring players to complete dungeons within a set time to earn additional rewards.

  Each dungeon's Platinum Medals rewards an achievement and a dungeon-exclusive toy. These toys are Platinum versions of existing items and are count-wide. The following are the toy items offered in each dungeon:

  Temple of the Jade Serpent: Platinum Boots of Expeditious Retreat

  • Stormstout Brewery: Platinum "Little Ale"
  • Gate of the Setting Sun: Platinum Rod of Ambershaping
  • Shado-Pan Monastery: Platinum Potion of Invisibility
  • Siege of Niuzao Temple: Platinum Amber
  • Mogu'shan Palace: Platinum Battle Horn
  • Scholomance: Platinum VIal of Polyformic Acid
  • Scarlet Halls: Platinum Battle Banner
  • Scarlet Monastery: Platinum Sacrificial Dagger

  Note that the opening hours for each dungeon vary. It's best to check their opening times before attempting a challenge:

  • Temple of the Jade Serpent: 10:15
  • Stormstout Brewery: 8:15
  • Gate of the Setting Sun: 8:00
  • Shado-Pan Monastery: 14:00
  • Siege of Niuzao Temple: 12:15
  • Mogu'shan Palace: 8:15
  • Scholomance: 10:15
  • Scarlet Halls: 8:00
  • Scarlet Monastery: 9:00

  Additionally, completing all Challenge Mode Platinum ratings in Seasons 2 and 3 will earn you the server's first achievement.

  First-time Platinum Challenge completions for each dungeon reward you with Platinum Coins, which can be exchanged for transmogrification sets, toys, and mounts.

  Furthermore, Celestials bosses will be updated, and their loot and mechanics may include equipment and boss abilities from the Throne of Thunder.

  At the end of each Challenge Mode season, the player who maintains Realm Best Time will receive an exclusive title and mount:

  Season 1

  • Title: The Mistwalker
  • Mount: Reins of the Celestial Serpent

  Season 2

  • Title: Mistborne
  • Mount: Reins of the Celestial Tiger

  Season 3

  • Title: Heir to the Mist
  • Mount: (Not yet announced)

  Other Updates

  After reaching Exalted reputation with The Tillers, players can speak with Farmer Yoon to take over Sunsong Farm (requires unlocking 16 farms).

  Warlocks can start a questline through Codex of Xerrath; completing the quest changes their fire skill's effect to fel green.

  This concludes the general content of Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 3 PTR. Although the official release date hasn't been announced yet, it's clear it won't be too far after PTR ends. It's expected to go live around early December, though no exact date has been announced yet.

• WoW MoP Classic Phase 3 Release Date Prediction | Throne Of Thunder PTR, Raid Details & Updates

  It's been over a month since the release of WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 on September 23rd. Due to the limited content of Phase 2, players have been bored, and many have left.

  The player community is impatient for Phase 3, Throne of Thunder, with many urging for its release. Recently, the official announcement of Throne of Thunder PTR was released, potentially indicating that Phase 3 is imminent.

  

  Announcement Content And Phase 3 Release Date Prediction

  In the recently released announcement, the official team announced that Throne of Thunder Raids will be tested during the following periods:

  • Raid test 1 – November 4-6
  • Raid test 2 – November 14-17

  Meanwhile, according to a leak from the well-known source Algalon the Observer on X, World of Warcraft Classic PTR server has just been updated with a new version.

  The version number has been updated from 5.5.1 (the prequel to Siege of Orgrimmar, usually referring to the Battle of Pandaria) to 5.5.2. Version 5.5.2 corresponds to the major content patch Throne of Thunder, part of 5.2.0 (the 2013 patch).

  Similar minor PTR updates (from 5.5.1 to 5.5.2) appeared before the official release of WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 Landfall patch, suggesting that Throne of Thunder might be coming soon!

  Release Date Prediction

  Since the PTR testing lasts approximately two weeks, and a release during Thanksgiving week (the third week of November) is highly unlikely, the predicted release dates for Phase 3 PTR are as follows:

  • November 18th: A slightly accelerated but possible date.
  • December 2nd or 4th: A date more in line with the regular release cycle.

  The first phase was a pretty good start, but the second phase was relatively dull in comparison, which is why players are so eager for the third phase. Throne of Thunder is one of the most acclaimed raids in World of Warcraft history, but it's also extremely difficult. Many of the first raiders to clear it have vivid memories of it; almost every boss in the raid has a very interesting mechanic.

  To successfully complete this raid, your gear needs to be at least BiS (or near-BiS) level for the current version. You'll also need to prepare potions, elixirs, and some first-aid items to boost your stats.

  If you want to earn some WoW MoP Classic gold before the start of the third phase, you can craft these items in advance, and their value will definitely increase after the third phase begins.

  How To Unlock Throne Of Thunder Raid?

  In the original game, players contributed progress by completing quest chains and daily quests on the Isle of Thunder to unlock the raid. This process will be very fast on the current highly centralized servers, as Sunwell only takes two days to unlock on a mega server.

  While the specific unlocking method is still unclear, and a server-wide cooperative unlocking mechanism is no longer unusual, retaining this mechanism is a cool experience. Furthermore, since the servers are now integrated, there won't be any issues with smaller servers being unable to complete the process.

  Aspects For Improvement In Phase 3

  Thunderforged

  However, Phase 3 includes a controversial system, Thunderforged, which is the precursor to the later Warforge and Titanforge systems. It's a rare quality item dropped in Throne of Thunder raid, with an item level 6 levels higher than its regular counterpart.

  However, players don't really like it, mainly because this disparity can lead to conflict and hostility among hardcore players and raid groups. This is especially true for efficiency-driven guilds, causing unnecessary competition and dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the already complex loot pool from each boss makes each item essentially two versions.

  Retaining this system intact might negatively impact the game. If the developers decide to modify it, they could choose to remove it entirely, eliminate randomness and allow all drops to directly upgrade, or allow players to use Justice Points or Valor Points for consistent upgrades.

  

  Flex Raiding

  Given the high difficulty of Throne of Thunder, introducing a flexible raid system might be better, allowing raids to be limited to a certain number of players, such as 20-30. Raid difficulty will be dynamically adjusted based on the actual number of players, rather than randomly matching you with another player.

  This is because anyone who has experienced high-difficulty raids in MMOs knows that these raids contain many instant-death attacks, requiring players to cooperate and follow commands to successfully navigate the most difficult mechanics of each phase. If any player cannot communicate, it could be a wipe, and forcing it might just be a waste of consumables and WoW MoP Classic gold.

  If raid difficulty is dynamically adjusted based on the number of players, the difficulty of forming a group will be significantly reduced.

  The above is a general overview of the third phase of Mists of Pandaria Classic and Throne of Thunder. The third phase may be coming soon, but it's likely still a month away from official release, so prepare your best weapons and armor and wait patiently.

• WoW MoP Classic Hallow's End 2025 Guide | Headless Horseman Boss, Quests, Rewards & Tips

  Halloween 2025 is almost here! Every year at this time, not only is life filled with various Halloween activities and elements, but most games also host in-game celebrations or offer Halloween-themed rewards.

  As an MMORPG with over 20 years of existence, World of Warcraft has its own dedicated Hallow's End, available in both the base game and its expansions.

  WoW MoP Classic launched in July of this year, and Phase 2 is currently underway. Its Hallow's End officially began on October 18th! Below, we'll explain how to participate in Halloween events on this Eastern-themed server.

  

  Hallow's End In MoP Classic Overview

  This event will run until November 1st, the day after Halloween in the real world. During this time, you can participate in various fun activities or defeat the event-exclusive boss, Headless Horseman, in Scarlet Monastery to win rewards.

  Participate In Daily Events To Collect Items

  During Hallow's End, you can explore various zones and kill enemies to collect loot. For example, monsters above level 60 will drop an 18-slot Jack-o'-lantern, while monsters at level 50 will drop a 16-slot Pumpkin Bag.

  In addition, candy buckets are hidden at inns in Azeroth and Outland. Finding these will grant a Handful of Treats. Alternatively, you may find open apple barrels floating on the pools in an inn. Clicking on the pools instantly grants you 5 Bobbing Apples.

  These special apples restore health over 24 seconds when consumed. Consuming them for at least 10 seconds even grants stamina and spirit buffs. Therefore, we recommend saving these apples for Hallow's End boss fight.

  Putting Out Fires Questline

  This event questline involves the boss, Headless Horseman. He rides his horse through six villages in Azeroth, dropping flaming pumpkins and setting them on fire. Help the villagers put out the fires and save the villages to receive a reward.

  Quest 1

  The first mission will differ depending on your faction. Alliance players will receive Fire Brigade Practice, while Horde players will receive Fire Training.

  To complete this mission, you must follow the mission instructions to find five burning scarecrows and use the nearby buckets of water to put out their flames. Here are the steps:

  • 1. Right-click the bucket, fill it with water, and place it in your inventory.
  • 2. Right-click the filled bucket, aim the aiming circle at the burning scarecrows, and click to release.
  • 3. After extinguishing all the scarecrows, return to claim your reward.

  Quest 2

  This mission will differ depending on whether the village you arrive at is already on fire. If not, you'll need to receive the quest "Let the Fires Come!"; if flames are already raging, you'll need to receive "Stop the Fires!".

  Both missions require you to use your existing firefighting skills to help the villagers put out the fires. Afterward, Shade of the Horseman will appear. You'll need to kill him, causing a giant pumpkin to appear. Click the pumpkin to receive the following rewards:

  • Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern
  • Rickety Magic Broom
  • Folded Letter
  • Handful of Treats
  • Wands, masks, and/or a few more Tricky Treats

  Hallow's End Orphan Treats Questline

  This questline has nothing to do with the boss. Instead, you'll run around collecting candy from relevant NPCs in various towns and distribute it to the orphans.

  Each collection corresponds to a quest. Completing each quest increases your faction's reputation with their main city by 250 points and rewards you with 30 Hallow's End Pumpkin Treats. The quests are as follows:

  Alliance - Hallow's End Treats for Jesper!:

  • Flexing for Nougat - Innkeeper Allison - /Ways 53-66.
  • Chicken Clucking for a Mint - Innkeeper Firebrew - /Ways 18-51.
  • Incoming Gumdrop - Talvash del Kissel - /Ways 36-4.
  • Dancing for Marzipan - Innkeeper Saelienne - /Ways 67-16.

  Horde - Hallow's End Treats for Spoops!:

  • Flexing for Nougat - Innkeeper Gryshka - /Ways 54-68.
  • Incoming Gumdrop - Kali Remik - /Ways 56-74.
  • Chicken Clucking for a Mint - Innkeeper Norman - /Ways 68-39.
  • Dancing for Marzipan - Innkeeper Pala - /Ways 46-65.

  How To Defeat The Final Boss Of This Event?

  Headless Horseman boss encounter has three phases, and he regenerates his health before each phase, so the entire fight can take quite a while.

  To ensure you can defeat the boss battle in one go, we recommend entering with a group and redeem enough consumables, such as potions, flasks, or food, through WoW MoP Classic gold beforehand.

  

  Phase 1

  The first half of this phase is straightforward: attack the boss until his health reaches 1%. He'll then throw his head, and his body will begin to regenerate, but you'll want to focus all your firepower on the head.

  When the head's health reaches approximately 60%, or the boss's torso reaches 100%, the head and body will connect, triggering Phase 2.

  Phase 2

  This phase is completed similarly to Phase 1, with the only caveat being that the boss will cast Conflagrate on a random player. Phase 3 begins when the boss's head's health reaches 30%, or the body reaches 100%.

  Phase 3

  During this phase, Headless Horseman will spawn four Pumpkin Fiends in the arena every 30 seconds for you to pick up. These provide additional loot.

  When the boss's health is reduced to 1% through attacks, its head will fly out again. Destroy the head completely to end the battle.

  Note that if you don't destroy the head before the boss body's health reaches 100% during Phase 3, this phase will repeat until you do.

  Boss Battle Rewards

  Rewards are divided into two parts, provided by Pumpkin Fiends and Headless Horseman. Details are as follows:

  Pumpkin Fiend Rewards:

  • The Horseman's Horrific Hood
  • The Horseman's Sinister Slicer
  • Hallowed Helm
  • Sinister Squashling
  • Magic Broom
  • Swift Magic Broom
  • The Horseman's Reins

  Boss Rewards:

  • Seal of Ghoulish Glee
  • Band of the Petrified Pumpkin
  • The Horseman's Ring
  • Wicked Witch's Signet
  • Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern

  The above is the core of this event. There are actually more detailed quests and achievements to complete. If you're short on time or just want to complete the key quests, our guide should be sufficient!

• WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 Landfall Campaign Guide | Completing Quests For Alliance And Horde

  WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 launched on September 23rd. While Phase 2 might seem underwhelming compared to the numerous raids and activities during Phase 1, it still includes some worthwhile quests, such as Landfall Campaign.

  While most of the quests in this campaign take place in PvP-style locations, you'll need to complete them alongside NPCs, so you won't have to worry about difficulty or interference from other players.

  The only caveat is that Landfall Campaign is strongly faction-specific, meaning that both the method for unlocking the campaign and the rewards available depend on whether you're from Alliance or Horde.

  Below, we'll provide different strategies for completing Landfall Campaign, categorized by faction.

  

  Completing Landfall Campaign - Alliance

  Completing Landfall Campaign as soon as possible is recommended, not only because of the new gear you'll receive, but also because it allows you to unlock Pandaria Campaign and the next chapter of your Legendary quest chain.

  How To Unlock The Campaign?

  Whether you're Alliance or Horde, you must complete a series of prerequisite quests to unlock Landfall Campaign. Below are Alliance-specific quests and the relevant NPCs.

  • Meet the Scout: Lyalia, Scout Lynna
  • A King Among Men: Marshal Troteman, Hilda Hornswaggle
  • Lion's Landing

  The final quest requires you to travel to Krasarang Cove and use a flare launcher to signal Alliance fleet, which will then allow you to begin the next step in the campaign.

  Note that this also unlocks the ability to earn reputation points for Operation: Shieldwall. As you progress through Landfall Campaign, you'll earn some reputation points, which you can then continue farming to earn reputation level rewards.

  How To Complete The Campaign?

  Before beginning Landfall Campaign, you must first find and kill three Rares within your faction's camp. This will earn you 500 reputation points with The Black Prince and the faction-exclusive "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" reward.

  If you're Alliance, the three Rares and their coordinates are:

  • Champion of Arms: Kar Warmaker - Domination Point's East entrance. (/way 13.4 54.8)
  • Champion of the Light: Muerta - The left of the inner fortress. (/way 9.6 54.6)
  • Champion of the Shadows: Ubunti the Shade - Domination Point Tower. (/way 13.2 66.0)

  Rewards for killing them include:

  • Blood-Soaked Invitation
  • Alliance Insignia of Conquering
  • SI:7 Operative's Manual
  • Steadfast Footman's Medallion

  What Quests Are Required To Complete?

  To be honest, completing Landfall Campaign is a lengthy process, as it involves many quests and is tied to your Operation: Shieldwall reputation level. New Landfall Campaign quests unlock at specific reputation levels.

  It's important to note that each specific Landfall Campaign task actually includes multiple steps. To save you time, we've listed them below.

  • The Man With a Thousand Faces (950 Friendly)
  • The Voice of the Gods (4900 Friendly)
  • Jaina's Hope (2850 Honored)
  • The Korune (6800 Honored)
  • Heart of the Alliance (10750 Honored)
  • Secrets of the Past (2700 Revered)
  • The Divine Bell (6650 Revered)
  • The Purge of Dalaran (before 8600 Revered)
  • An Ancient Ally (before 14540 Revered)
  • In Search of Harmony (before 18500 Revered)
  • Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

  

  Completing Landfall Campaign - Horde

  If you are a member of Horde, you will need to complete the following quests to unlock the campaign:

  • Meet the Scout: Sunwalker Dezco, Scout Rokla.
  • The Might of the Warchief: Blood Guard Gro'tash, Grizzle Gearslip.
  • Domination Point: Light a signal fire on the beach at Horde landing point to signal Horde fleet.

  The new faction for earning reputation with Horde is Dominance Offensive, centered around Krasarang Wilds. You can increase your reputation by completing Landfall Campaign and daily reputation quests.

  Where Are The Killable Rares?

  For Horde players, in addition to The Black Prince reputation, "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" rewards for killing three Rares include:

  • Blood-Soaked Invitation
  • Horde Insignia of Conquering
  • Kor'kron Book of Hurting
  • Mark of the Hardened Grunt

  For specific Rares coordinates, please refer to the following:

  • Champion of Arms: Dalan Nightbreaker - Lion's Landing beach. (/way 85.0 27.6)
  • Champion of the Light: Disha Fearwarden - One tent inside the fortress. (/way 87.4 29.2)
  • Champion of the Shadows: Mavis Harms - On the docks. (/way 84.6 31.0)

  Horde Landfall Campaign Quests

  Like Alliance, Horde Landfall Campaign quests unlocked are tied to reputation with the new Dominance Offensive faction. These quests include:

  • The Voice of the Gods (950 Friendly)
  • The Horde Is Family (4900 Friendly)
  • Blood For Blood (2850 Honored)
  • The Korune (6800 Honored)
  • Pride (10750 Honored)
  • Rise of the Blood Elves (2700 Revered)
  • Secrets of the Past (6650 Revered)
  • The Divine Bell (before 8600 Revered)
  • The Darnassus Operation (before 14540 Revered)
  • The Purge of Dalaran (before 18500 Revered)
  • Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

  Whether you're from Horde or Alliance, with completing Landfall Campaign, will have maximized your reputation with your new faction, and help you earn the associated reputation rewards and achievements.

  It's worth noting that Operation: Shieldwall is essentially a counterpoint to Dominance Offensive, so you can engage in PvP combat against members of the opposing faction within Krasarang Wilds to earn additional rewards.

  This concludes the main guide for completing Landfall Campaign in WoW MoP Classic for each faction. This is a long-term campaign, so take your time and enjoy the game!

  ---

  Completing quests in Landfall Campaign may require you to collect and submit specific materials. While these materials can be obtained through foraging or combat drops, farming them can be quite tedious.

  To save time and complete the campaign quickly, you can buy cheap WoW MoP Classic gold on IGGM and then use that gold to buy the materials you need to complete the quests faster!

• WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 Shadow Priest Guide | Best Talents, BiS Gear & DPS Build

  While WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 doesn't add new raids, Krasarang Wilds Campaign and Brawler's Guild remain challenging. Therefore, choosing a specific build is crucial to maximize your advantage in this new phase.

  If you're out of ideas, our Shadow Priest build guide is here to help.

  Why did we choose Shadow Priest to kick off MoP Classic Phase 2? It's because of their powerful sustained damage, excellent multi-target abilities, a more cohesive gameplay loop thanks to the improved Shadow Orbs system, and the damage and healing buffs from the Twist of Fate talent.

  These mechanics work together to allow Shadow Priest to deal sustained damage to multiple enemies. Combined with their high survivability and utility, they're a top-tier class in the later stages of Mists of Pandaria Classic.

  

  Talents

  As for Talent system, Shadow Priest's versatility allows us to tailor it to the type of content we're playing, whether it's daily quests, PvP, or raids, especially when more mobility or specific defensive or offensive support is needed.

  Tier 1

  • Void Tendrils: A powerful choice for pulling multiple targets, as it roots them while allowing you to continue dealing damage while moving.
  • Dominate Mind: Controls the target's mind, temporarily placing them under Yogg-Saron's control and reducing their Sanity by 4%. This can be used to control adds in specific situations.

  Tier 2

  • Angelic Feather: A very powerful movement speed boost option, providing excellent positioning flexibility.
  • Body and Soul: Significantly increases the movement speed of the target of a Power Word: Shield or Leap of Faith for a period of time. Once cast on a target, this talent grants them a 60% movement speed bonus for 4 seconds, making it very useful for quickly evading or repositioning.
  • Phantasm: Provides a movement speed boost after using Fade, making it very useful in certain encounters.

  Tier 3

  • Solace and Insanity: Often the best choice for increased damage, as it significantly boosts your Mind Flay's damage while Devouring Plague is active.
  • From Darkness, Comes Light: A viable alternative to Mind Spike's instant trigger, effectively increasing burst damage.
  • Mindbender: A good mana regeneration option after your Shadowfiend is enhanced.

  Tier 4

  • Angelic Bulwark: A powerful passive defensive ability that can save you when your health drops below 30%.
  • Desperate Prayer: An active defensive ability that provides healing, useful when you need more burst healing.

  Tier 5

  • Twist of Fate: A great choice for a Tier 5 talent, providing a significant damage and healing boost, primarily refreshed by spot-killing low-health targets.
  • Divine Insight: This makes the next Mind Blast active immediately after Shadow Word: Pain triggers, costing no mana. This talent is highly competitive in high-mobility fights where mana management and maximum damage are crucial.
  • Power Infusion: This skill is more suited for supporting other players and tends to fall short of Twist of Fate for individual DPS.

  Tier 6

  • Halo: A default choice for most fights, providing decent damage and a short cooldown.
  • Divine Star: A powerful alternative with a short cooldown, instant cast time, and immunity to Shadow Lock.
  • Cascade: Ideal for maximizing area pressure in certain comps.

  

  Attribute Prioritization

  For Shadow Priests in MoP Classic WoW, prioritizing gear with higher Intellect stats is optimal, followed by Hit, Spirit, and Expertise to reach the 15% hit cap. Haste, Mastery, and finally Critical Strike are crucial.

  • Intellect: This is the primary stat for Shadow Priest, so try to choose gear with the highest item level to boost it.
  • Hit/Spirit/Expertise: Aim for a total hit chance of 15% to cap your hit rating. However, note that once you exceed this cap, the benefits provided by these stats diminish.
  • Haste: This increases your casting speed and the frequency of DoT spells.
  • Mastery: Gives your periodic shadow damage spells a chance to deal bonus damage.
  • Critical Strike: Increases the critical strike chance of your spells and damage over time effects, and summons Shadowy Apparitions when Shadow Word: Pain triggers a critical strike.

  

  BiS Gear Setup

  Shadow Priest's BiS gear choices vary by stage. If you have plenty of WoW MoP Classic Gold, aim for Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle and Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards from Terrace of Endless Spring Raid. You can also consider using August Stone Fragments from Celestial Dungeons as pre-raid BiS gear.

  Note that your attribute weights will change as you acquire new gear, so it's best to use a gear simulator to find the best options for your character before equipping them.

  Here are our recommended items. For the rest, you can choose your own items based on your playstyle and the type of content you're looking to play:

  • Neck: Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle
  • Shoulders: Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards
  • Cloak: Cloak of Overwhelming Corruption
  • Chest: Guardian Serpent Raiment
  • Waist: Belt of Malleable Amber
  • Legs: Dreadwoven Leggings of Failure
  • Trinkets: Relic of Yu'lon

  That's it for the complete guide to Shadow Priest in WoW Classic's Mists of Pandaria Phase 2. While it's slightly inferior in single-target damage and may require more gear to be truly competitive in high-end raids, Shadow Priest is still a solid choice for players who enjoy a dynamic and complex playstyle.

• WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 Brawlers Guild Access And Bosses Guide

  With the launch of Phase 2, Brawlers Guild was finally added to the game. Brawlers Guild was once a popular feature, primarily focused on solo PvE, where players repeatedly challenged bosses, akin to a boss rush.

  While not a group raid, Brawlers Guild was nonetheless quite challenging, requiring players to adapt to unique and often deadly boss mechanics, and its complexity increased with increasing levels. While lower levels might be manageable with just a good item level, reaching the highest levels can be a significant challenge.

  

  How To Access Brawlers Guild?

  Players seeking access to Brawlers Guild need to obtain a Blood-Soaked Invitation first. Currently, there are two ways to obtain it, while there is another way to enter Brawlers Guild directly:

  • 1. Dropped by elite wild monsters, especially rare monsters associated with Krasarang Wilds, which have a chance to drop an Invitation.
  • 2. Black Market Auction House sometimes lists invitations with a starting valule of 1,000 WoW MoP Classic gold, so you may need to prepare more.
  • 3. In addition to receiving a Blood-Soaked Invitation, you can also enter Brawlers Guild through invitations from other players. After reaching Rank 7, other players will receive a Brawler's Pass, which they can then transfer to you.

  Regardless of how you gain access to Brawlers Guild, your other accounts will automatically be eligible.

  Brawlers Guild Entrance

  The entrance to Brawlers Guild is different for Alliance and Horde players:

  Locations vary by faction:

  • Horde: The entrance is in Brawl'gar Arena in Orgrimmar, north of Valley of Honor.
  • Alliance: The entrance is at Bizmo's Brawlpub in Stormwind, on the lower level of Deeprun Tram.

  Brawlers Guild Bosses

  Brawlers Guild has seven ranks and 28 bosses. As you rank up, the enemies become increasingly difficult. So, if you want to challenge higher levels, you'll need to adjust your gear and spend some Mists of Pandaria Classic gold at Auction House to prepare potions and items based on the boss's damage.

  

  Rank 1

  Bruce

  The most threatening skill is Chomp Chomp. It deals high damage within melee range, but it has a 1.5s cast time, so be mindful of its cast bar.

  Vian The Volatile

  A flaming area will appear on the field, gradually taking up the combat space. Focus all your skills on it from the start; you won't be able to prolong the fight.

  Goredome

  It will cast Lumbering Charge, which appears as a red circle within its damage range. Keep moving and quickly escape once you see the circle appear. Melee fighters should also be aware of their changing positions.

  Dungeon Master Vishas

  This boss's Hot Poker buff grants him extremely high damage. You can kite him with abilities like slow or crowd control (he can be stunned).

  Rank 2

  Dippy

  Dippy has a one-hit-kill magic attack, but he struggles to maintain stability on the ground. You can interrupt his abilities with instant/auto attacks, but avoid cornering him, as this may cause him to use his magic.

  Kirrawk

  Kirrawk will summon tornadoes to throw you up or disrupt your position. You'll need to dodge these tornadoes to maintain the tempo of the fight, and adjust your position when dodging.

  Fran And Riddoh

  Fran will throw mines everywhere, while Riddoh will trap you with a net. If Fran dies, Riddoh will go berserk, dealing +250% damage. Fran will also throw explosives more frequently after Riddoh dies.

  It's best to maintain a healthy balance between the two bosses, avoid destroying one too quickly, and avoid bombs.

  King Kulaka

  King Kulaka's melee attacks deal considerable damage. Ranged classes can kite him continuously, while melee classes should use defensive skills to stall and spread out their attacks.

  Rank 3

  Blat

  Blat creates multiple clones. While these clones don't deal much damage, they can be disruptive. The real one usually moves faster or has quicker skill responsiveness. Focus your fire on the real one while slowing down the other clones.

  Sanoriak

  Sanoriak has abilities like Flame Buffet (which stacks flames) and Firewall. Prioritize interrupting Flame Buffet, as Firewall usually leaves a safe gap.

  Ixx

  The only skill you need to avoid is Devastating Thrust. Avoid standing in front of it; quickly move past or around to the side and back while it's casting. This may cause splash damage, but you can use potions.

  Mazhareen

  As Mazhareen's health decreases, its attack power, and frequency may increase. Therefore, conserve your abilities until it reaches low health, then burst out as quickly as possible to instantly kill it.

  Rank 4

  Crush

  Crush has a charge and stun (which also stuns itself), with a brief period of increased damage. Predict the direction of the charge and dodge, then use the short stun period to deal damage.

  Leona Earthwind

  Leona Earthwind's Earthling Seed summons minions, while Solar Beam silences you. Both are tricky abilities. You'll need to be quick to kill minions and avoid Solar Beam, looking for openings.

  Dominika The Illusionist

  Dominika the Illusionist will constantly split and create illusions. Use AoE skills to prioritize killing the illusions, then simultaneously focus on the real one.

  Deeken

  Deeken's primary skill is Electric Bubble, which creates a static field. As long as you can avoid it, you can easily squeeze it.

  Rank 5

  Millie Watt

  This boss has some mechanics to be aware of. Her explosives also create a static field, and when she uses Megafantastic Discombobumorphanator, it stuns you for 15 seconds, but it dissipates after you take damage. So when she uses this skill, actively enter the field and take some damage to avoid being disabled.

  Fjoll

  Fjoll's field generates purple flames and can push you into danger. You need to be mindful of your positioning and utilize your movement skills.

  Proboskus

  Proboskus's damage is high, but it's not difficult to deal with. Torrent (a channeled skill) can be interrupted, and Rain Dance can be avoided by moving.

  Fleasy / Greazy / Queasy / Sleezy / Wheezy

  Okay, this is a small siege. Five gnomes will attack you simultaneously, and you need to reduce them quickly, so start with Queasy, who has the lowest health. These gnomes will stack damage on you, so you need to keep your distance for 5 seconds to reduce the stacks.

  Rank 6

  Akama

  Akama will summon adds and unleash abilities like Chain Lightning and Shadow Strikes. Shadow Strikes provide powerful buffs, so interrupt them. If you don't, avoid her subsequent attacks.

  Unguloxx

  Keep your kiting to avoid high melee damage. Use stun or self-protection skills when necessary to stall. Balance defense and damage within the tight enrage timer.

  Yikkan Izu

  Prioritize clearing the first wave of Ravens while interrupting Disorienting Shriek, or you'll almost certainly die. While controlling the adds, maintain consistent damage on the boss.

  Smash Hoofstomp

  First, kill two Goblins to reach 100% damage amplification, then move behind them to deal damage when they cast Shield Wall.

  Rank 7

  Bo Bobble & Max Megablast

  Stay close to Bo Bobble and use Max Megablast (red circle) to guide and hit Bo. Repeat until the shared health bar is depleted.

  Dark Summoner

  Use the overhead light to pin down the ghosts and quickly kill them. Then attack the boss. Repeat until the boss is down, taking care not to be instantly killed by Ghosts.

  Battletron

  Go all out when it summons Mines (a free damage window). If you can detonate the mines, you can force it to re-summon. Overall, it's a tight DPS check with a 2-minute enrage.

  Meatball

  Hiting the boss will drop Orbs. Collect them until you reach 40 stacks of the buff (400% damage), then initiate a burst and kill it before the 1-minute enrage.

  Completing the 28 boss battles will prove you're a great warrior, and while these battles won't directly reward you with MoP Classic Gold, rewards like The Brassiest Knuckle, The Brassiest Knuckle, and Brawler's Burly Mushan Beast are clearly more valuable.
