After several weeks of beating the ogres of Highmountain in World of Warcraft, the new Patch 6.1 brings some variety. The new instance Blackrock Foundry will confront players with the Iron Horde. Who is expecting the raiders in the new raid content?
Everything new… not quite
Initially, the new instance will only be unlocked for normal and heroic difficulty levels. Long-time WoW players will also find the first boss familiar. While Gruul had his own cave in the Burning Crusade addon, this time he has to share his hideout with 9 other boss companions. By the way, the T17 set awaits brave heroes in the Blackrock Foundry.
Orcs and other creatures
After Gruul, you will face the Ironcrusher. A creature that seems rather cute but likes to throw acid around. With the Smelting Collective, a somewhat different encounter comes next – to be precise – 8 encounters. The raid lead is surely looking forward to explaining every ability of the individual Smelting members. After the orc group, Hans’gar and Franzok await the raid group.
Only the developers know why Blizzard relies on Old High German names here. Following the final boss are more orcs and a living figure like Kologarn from Ulduar. The creativity in designing boss types has once again been limited.
Didn’t I blow him up?
As a high-ranking representative of the Iron Horde, Blackhand awaits as the final boss in the Blackrock Foundry. Yes, Blackhand has, unsurprisingly, survived the explosion in the harbor of Shattrath. In 3 phases, the Grumpy Orc attempts to take you down. If this still seems too difficult on Normal mode, you will have to wait until February 17. Only then will the first LFR wing open. However, you can also pass the time with the new world boss, Rukhmar. Or you can play 100 characters at level 100.
