News Tag: WoW The War Within

World of Warcraft: The War Within Season 3 will begin, and the biggest challenge in Patch 11.2 is Manaforge Omega raid. This raid offers five difficulties: Story Mode, Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic. To get the best gear in Phase 3, you'll need to tackle the highest difficulty.

However, as a large-scale multiplayer raid, even on Normal difficulty, defeating eight bosses in a row is quite challenging. Not only must you have the best gear, but the other raid members must also be able to deal enough damage or withstand enough damage.

DPS, Tank, and Healer: Any issue can ruin your entire team in Manaforge Omega raid, so the safest approach is to use the currently strong classes.

DPS Ranks

• Shadow Priest (S Tier)

Although it offers a lot of DPS classes, Shadow Priest is the only class in S Tier with the highest DPS. This class is ranked S because it balances both AoE and single-target damage, offers decent defense, and can buff the team, making it a versatile class. While its damage output isn't the highest, its valuable role on the team is crucial.

• Elemental Shaman (A Tier)
• Demonology Warlock (A Tier)
• Devastation Evoker (A Tier)
• Frost Mage (A Tier)
• Windwalker Monk (A Tier)
• Unholy Death Knight (A Tier)
• Frost Death Knight (A Tier)

Tier A classes are the workhorses of the raid, dealing significant single-target damage. Their specialization also provides them with a degree of damage absorption or self-healing, helping to alleviate the pressure on tanks and healers.

• Beast Mastery Hunter (B Tier)
• Arcane Mage (B Tier)
• Affliction Warlock (B Tier)
• Havoc Demon Hunter (B Tier)
• Fire Mage (B Tier)
• Augmentation Evoker (B Tier)
• Retribution Paladin (B Tier)
• Destruction Warlock (B Tier)
• Fury Warrior (B Tier)
• Enhancement Shaman (B Tier)
• Survival Hunter (B Tier)
• Marksmanship Hunter (B Tier)
• Assassination Rogue (B Tier)
• Subtlety Rogue (B Tier)
• Outlaw Rogue (B Tier)
• Feral Druid (B Tier)

B Tier classes are numerous and, while they can complete most raids, they fall short of Tier A and Tier S classes in terms of damage cap and utility. If you have enough WoW The War Within gold, you can craft potions and obtain rare items, which may help make up some of the difference.

• Arms Warrior (C Tier)
• Balance Druid (C Tier)

Both Arms Warrior and Balance Druid are classic classes, but their damage cap and utility generally lag behind other classes.

Healer Ranks

• Mistweaver Monk (S Tier)

Similar to the DPS classes, the top-ranked healer is Mistweaver Monk. After the patch, Mistweaver Monk can now use Crash of Fallen Storms to grant a large amount of skill haste, allowing it to heal more quickly. In most standard dungeons and raids, Mistweaver Monk's healing is excessive.

Another reason why Mistweaver Monk is a good healer in the S Tier is its good mobility, allowing it to avoid boss AoE spells and avoid being killed easily in combat.

Also, if the player is experienced and the raid's healing pressure is low, Mistweaver Monk can serve as a DPS and deal decent damage.

• Holy Priest (A Tier)

Holy Priest is the only healer in A Tier. As a classic healer, its placement in this position is unsurprising. Besides providing healing for the team, Holy Priest also offers some damage reduction and shielding, making it highly versatile.

However, Holy Priest has significant drawbacks: its lack of mobility requires timely dodging of boss abilities. Furthermore, Holy Priest's primary use is in raids; other areas, such as farming WoW The War Within gold and PvP, are relatively limited.

• Discipline Priest (B Tier)
• Restoration Druid (B Tier)
• Preservation Evoker (B Tier)
• Restoration Shaman (B Tier)

B Tier can handle team healing and damage reduction duties, but the specific healing range and shield strength are somewhat different from the two previous healing classes.

• Holy Paladin (C Tier)

In previous patches, Holy Paladin was a must-have in every raid due to its practicality. However, in Patch 11.2, Holy Paladin has fallen significantly behind in both healing and damage. (Yes, healers do need to shoulder some DPS responsibilities.)

However, Holy Paladin remains highly useful, and if you've traded items like potions and toys with your WoW The War Within gold, Holy Paladin can still play an important role in raids.

Tank Ranks

• Protection Paladin (A Tier)
• Blood Death Knight (A Tier)
• Protection Warrior (A Tier)
• Brewmaster Monk (A Tier)

For tank players, this is undoubtedly a very balanced patch, with most tank classes able to play their roles. Protection Paladin provides irreplaceable raid buffs, while Blood Death Knight can withstand a lot of damage and rarely dies in a raid. Protection Warrior's damage output is outstanding, and Brewmaster Monk also provides top-tier raid buffs.

• Vengeance Demon Hunter (B Tier)
• Guardian Druid (B Tier)

Despite being ranked in B Tier, both tanks offer decent playability. Vengeance Demon Hunter offers both DPS and defense, but it struggles to balance both in raids. Guardian Druid, on the other hand, is less practical, but its single-target damage is quite good, and its Mark of the Wild ability can be quite useful.

This is a general overview of the various classes in WoW: The War Within Season 3. Each class is generally well-balanced, without major flaws.

As the tenth expansion for World of Warcraft series, The War Within sets the game in Khaz Algar and tells a new storyline based on this location.

While Season 2, which released in March of this year, did not bring any story updates, the subsequent Patch 11.1.7 did. The upcoming Patch 11.2, serving as a prelude to Season 3, will focus on updates to playable content.

Based on this, we’ve compiled all the information we know about the updates and changes coming to WoW The War Within in Patch 11.2.

Patch 11.2 Basics

Named Ghosts of K’aresh, the patch will release on August 5, 2025, a week before Season 3, further expanding your WoW War Within journey. Patch 11.2 will build upon the game’s established mechanics and add new content to pave the way for Season 3.

New Explorable Zone K’aresh

As the name suggests, this new zone will be the primary location for the story and quests in Patch 11.2 and even Season 3. In Patch 11.1, Dark Heart fell into the hands of the ethereals. Exploring Dark Heart to its end will lead you to K’aresh.

While the zone itself is brand new, it was previously mentioned in the story when you first encountered the ethereals in Netherstorm during The Burning Crusade (TBC).

K’aresh was once a vibrant place, but it fell into ruin after the invasion of Dimensius the All-Devouring. While the enemy is now gone, K’aresh still needs to be rebuilt. The ethereals are busy with this effort, and you will once again embark on a new adventure.

New Cloak Reshii Wraps

This piece of gear is featured specifically because it will be a valuable aid in completing quests, dungeons, and raids in Patch 11.2, helping you accumulate enough WOW The War Within gold before Season 3.

Visually, Reshii Wraps are inspired by the in-game design and feature a unique transmog option. Specifically, they allow you to transform your body into energy, allowing you to observe and interact with the world through the perspective of ethereals.

New Raid Manaforge Omega

This raid is named after a facility designed to harvest cosmic energy from across K’aresh, which Shadowguard attempt to use to resurrect Dimensius. To enter the raid with your teammates, you must pass through the facility’s energy conduits.

This makes Reshii Wraps crucial: their cloaking ability transforms you into harvestable energy, which the conduits can then “harvest” you, allowing you to enter the facility itself, essentially the raid.

Furthermore, the cloak’s cloak ability can counter some of the raid’s mechanics and bosses, allowing you to complete the raid more safely. You can expect to encounter the following bosses in Manaforge Omega:

• Plexus Sentinel
• Loom’ithar
• Soulbinder Naazindhri
• Forgeweaver Araz
• Fractillus
• Nexus-King Salhadaar
• Dimensius, the All-Devouring
• The Soul Hunters (Optional)

In addition, the raid features a Raid Renown Track called Reshii Wraps Interactions, which has 15 ranks. Completing each rank will earn you corresponding reputation rewards. Key features include:

• Meet the Vandals
• Welcome to the Resistance
• Head Hunting: Loom’ithar
• Weave of Absence
• Speed Siphoner I
• Manaforge Hacking I
• The Bell’s Toll
• Behind Enemy Lines I
• Papers, Please
• Shroud and Proud
• Attuned to the Aether

New Tier Sets

Along with Manaforge Omega raid comes new tier sets. These sets leverage Hero Talents mechanic, launching in Season 3, and will offer slightly different rewards based on your specific spec.

If you prefer a specific Hero Talent combination for a particular spec, the tier sets you earn from raiding will also be adjusted based on your current Hero Talent combination, making your Hero Talent tree more unique and interesting.

New Dungeon Eco-Dome Al’dani

This dungeon, built by the ethereals, features the new Eco-Domes mechanic and includes three bosses. Your mission is to fight off the wastelanders occupying this area and help the ethereals reclaim their position.

During and after exploring this dungeon, the game will further explain the story of The War Within Eco-Domes, the wastelanders, and the ethereals, leading to more intriguing plot twists.

New Delve The Archival Assault

This delve takes place in The Azure Vault, originally a dungeon in Dragonflight expansion. In WOW TWW, you must return to the vault with the help of Brann Bronzebeard and stop the looters from plundering it.

Building on this dungeon, the game will also feature more social interactions, allowing you and your friends to engage in unique social interactions while fighting. These include:

• See Friends’ Phase Dive Presence
• Leave Messages for Friends
• See Other Players’ Ghosts Upon Death

PVP Content Updates

Patch 11.2 introduces two new PvP content updates: PvP Talents and new PvP Islands. While the specific talent updates won’t be revealed until the new PvP season begins, we can guarantee that PvP combat experience will definitely be improved.

The new PvP island, called Vanquisher’s Wake, will allow you to engage in outdoor PvP combat with other real players and test out new talents.

Other Important Miscellaneous Updates

Eco-Domes, a mechanic previously introduced in TBC, will also be coming to TWW. They are essentially greenhouses powered by arcane energy, allowing life that wouldn’t survive in pristine environments to thrive.

In Patch 11.2, you’ll be able to help Ve’nari care for these Eco-Domes, a process that will be given the new name of Ecological Succession.

Another new event worth noting is Phase Diving. Please note that this requires you to have already obtained Reshii Wraps. You’ll be able to use the energy granted by this cape to complete the following objectives and activities:

• Exclusive Quest Objectives
• World Quests
• Rare Mobs
• Tazavesh Warrants
• New Dungeon Diving Phase
• Delve Diving Phase
• Raid Diving Phase

This concludes the main content of WoW The War Within Patch 11.2. To explore and gain loot and prepare for Season 3, much more depends on your own hard work! Best wishes!

Siesbarg is one of the coolest mounts in Azj-Kahet. This guide will show you how to get Siesbarg in World Of Warcraft The War Within, as well as the best places to gather the required materials.

Get A Vial Of Tka’kthat’s Blood

You first need to get Vial of Tka’kthat’s blood from Tka’kthat in Azj-Kahet. Tka’kthat will only spawn every four to six hours, so it’s best to check his spawn group in Group Finder tab. Vial of Tka’kthat’s blood has a drop rate of about 73%, and it may take several attempts to obtain it. And it is recommended to team up with other players to defeat this fairly powerful rare monster. Once you have the item, you need to go to City of Threads to find Shalba, who will guide you to the next quest.

The First Quest ‘Those Are Chitin Words’

The first quest you need to complete is ‘Those Are Chitin Words’, where you need to collect 1500 Nerubian Chitin from Nerubians in Khaz Algar. Most Nerubians will drop around three or four Chitin, with elite and stronger enemies having a higher drop rate.

Nerubians can respawn quickly in Opalcrag, south of Dorn. Additionally, Ara-Kara, City of Echoes dungeon can not only offer a more intensive collection opportunity, but is also a great place to earn WOW The War Within Gold. This is accomplished by queuing up for solo follower dungeons and clearing all enemies up to the second boss, then quitting and starting over. The large number of elites here usually provide a large amount of Chitin, and solo follower dungeons can be completed up to ten times a day.

Get Nerubian Venom

Shalba will then task you with returning and destroying Nerubians, but this time you will need to collect 1,000 Nerubian Venoms. Venoms have a very low drop rate, so focusing on defeating elites and rares enemies will be a more efficient strategy. However, since elites and rares enemies are large and difficult to deal with, it is recommended to take on this mission in a group.

Many high-level Nerubians can be encountered in Siegehold located north of Weavers Lair, including Siegehold Defenders, which have a 34% chance of dropping one to four Venoms. In addition, if you are short of any equipment or items during the battle, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord and be active in the discord group, which will post product giveaway information from time to time.

Complete ‘A Small Ocean’s Worth Of Blood’

Finally, Shalba’s ultimate quest, A Small Ocean’s Worth of Blood, requires players to collect 500 Nerubian Bloods. These Bloods can only be obtained from Ascended or bipedal, Nerubians, and Skyrazors.

Elite Nerubians in City of Threads, especially in the area around Transformatory, almost always drop Nerubian Bloods. Additionally, Sureki Raiders and Priestesses in the northernmost chasm of Azj-Kahet are also a wonderful source of Nerubian Blood. Alternatively, players can choose to challenge City of Echoes dungeon again and clear all enemies encountered, which will result in a good 50-120 blood-per-run.

After completing these challenging tasks, return to Shelba to claim your Siesbarg, which not only showcases the player’s achievements but also provides a unique riding experience on the battlefield of Azeroth.

Mount system in World of Warcraft has undergone many changes over the years, but the basic mechanics remain the same. Different types of mounts have different functions. For example, some can only run on the ground, while others can fly, and they are all very valuable.

Accompanied with the release of The War Within, many new mounts have been added to the game. These new mounts have different outlooks, catering to different aesthetic standards among players, such as some are cute, while others are a bit scary. Now let’s take a look at the 10 best mounts that are most suitable for players to own.

10. Wick

Wick looks silly and cute, full of fun. It can be embraced from Darkflame Cleft dungeon on Mythic mode. Players need to save it from wicked Ol’ Waxbeard.

9. Diamond Mechsuit

From the name, this mount may be very popular with girls. From the points of its features of solidity and gigantic outlook. this mount will be pretty helpful in the aspects of protecting players.

Diamond Mechsuit mount can be embraced by those players who have finished Keystone Master achievement in Season 1 of The War Within.

8. Alunira Alunira

Alunira Alunira is an attractive mount with adorable looks, but it is also the most difficult to unlock mount in the game, which requires ten Crackling Shards to get.

7. Beledar’s Spawn

One of the main theme of The War Within is the invasion of Void. Xal’atath serves as a wicked old god that is very hard to deal with. She is aimed at destroying the world by advantage of her venomous power of Void. Void represents a dangerous force that cannot be truly mastered. But you can change it into a mount if the strength that required is available.

Beledar’s Spawn is obtained by slaying NPC Beledar’s Spawn. He has the respawn skill, so be careful. It is a partially spooky mount and really In charge of the dark energy of Void.

6. Vicious Skyflayer

Like all mounts that equipped with the feature of evil, Vicious Skyflayer serves as a reward for going through World of Warcraft’s PVP battles. It’s pretty scary, but also very creative.

For mounts like these, which are relatively powerful, they all yearn for battle. Players can obtain it by participating in PVP battles, or by investing some WOW The War Within Gold to directly obtain it, so that they can enjoy its strength in advance.

5. Slatestone Ramolith

Slatestone Ramolith is a very cute mount, a bit like a ram. Players can unlock Earthen Allied Race to make it your mount.

4. Sureki Skyrazor

Sureki Skyrazor has creepy wings, golden armor, with spiderwebs all over its body.

It is also quite troublesome to obtain Sureki Skyrazor mount. Players need to raid Queen Anusurek, and then Sureki Skyrazor owns an opportunity to drop from the Queen. By the way, Queen Anusurek refers to a monarch of Nerub-ar Palace, and players need to do their best to defeat her.

3. Ascendant Skyrazor

Ascendant Skyrazor is a dangerous mount for Queen of Spiders with horrible strength. It is surrounded by dark red scales and spider webs, augmenting a mythic layer of gothic charm on Skyrazor mounts.

2. Ferocious Jawcrawler

Ferocious Jawcrawler is a very vengeful mount. It is also very scary and ferocious.

This mount can be unlocked in Azj-Kahet for 2815 Kej, which is a kind of local currency.

1. Shackled Shadow

Shackled Shadow is very similar to the previously mentioned Beledar’s Spawn, but the former is obviously a bit cooler and more malicious, which can be gotten in Hallowfall for 11,375 Resonance Crystals.
