The Tomb of Sargeras in World of Warcraft is open. At least for normal and heroic raiders, it is finally starting again.
Players of World of Warcraft had to endure twelve long weeks since the release of Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” before they can finally enter the new raid instance. But today, on June 21, 2017, the starting shot has finally been fired, and the Tomb of Sargeras opens its gates.
At least on normal and heroic difficulty, players can already let loose. For the mythic difficulty, professional raiders can still prepare for a week and gather initial experiences against the bosses on the easier levels.
Tomb of Sargeras Release Plan – Every other week an LFR wing
The complete release schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday, June 21 (Today) – The normal and heroic Tomb of Sargeras opens
- Wednesday, June 28 – The mythic Tomb of Sargeras and the first wing of LFR open
- Wednesday, July 12 – The second wing of the LFR version of the Tomb of Sargeras opens
- Wednesday, July 26 – The third wing of the LFR version of the Tomb of Sargeras opens
- Wednesday, August 9 – The fourth wing of the LFR version of the Tomb of Sargeras opens.
In total, there are 9 bosses to defeat in the Tomb of Sargeras, including some prominent figures such as the Avatar of Sargeras and Kil’jaeden, one of the greatest commanders of the Burning Legion.
Additionally, some hotfixes are active since today that nerf particularly strong classes and buff weaker classes. For example, Vengeance demon hunters receive some damage reductions, while Arcane and Fire mages can look forward to a significant boost. You can find the complete class hotfixes listed in this post.
A final tip: From today, legendary items drop with an item level of 970, and the “old” legendaries can be upgraded to the new level!
