In case you’ve been in the Emerald Dream for the past few days, World of Warcraft: Legion was just announced, and there are a ton of new things to talk about.

In our last installment, we breached the gates of Hellfire Citadel (thankfully, they lent our cannons some ammo because we forgot ours), took down a Gundam reject, and made a quick side trip to defeat Kromog's hipster brother. This week, we slide through the Halls of Blood, intent on keeping it in our friends bodies', or spilling it from our enemies. Onward!

Greetings, fellow druids! Hellfire Citadel is upon us, so it's time to strategize our way through! Like we did with Blackrock Foundry, I'll be working through each wing of the new instance, providing tips and strategy for all flavors of druid play. We'll be starting with the first wing, Hellbreach.

We take a look at what's in store for Druids of all specs in patch 6.2.

Looking for something to do? How about raiding for gold? By soloing old Cataclysm raids, it’s fully possible for a reasonably-geared druid on US realms to fully fund their WoW Token purchases monthly. If that interests you, or you just want to find out how to repeatedly kill all those old bosses that gave your raid so much trouble back in the day, read on.

Welcome to Shifting Perspectives, Blizzard Watch’s regular column for druids of all vocations. This week, Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid) is pondering the ecliptic. So Patch 6.2 is coming and all, but we'll have a year to talk about that. (Kidding! Hopefully...) In the meantime, let's talk about a subject that's close to my heart: Eclipse. Frankly, it stinks. I'd like to take a quick look back to see how Eclipse ended up in its current state, then propose an alternative.

It’s that time again! Patch 6.2 is here, heralding the release of a new raid dungeon in our near future. We’ve got lots to talk about, so let’s dive right in and discuss patch 6.2 Druid changes for each specialization from the PTR patch notes, and the datamined new set bonuses as revealed by Wowhead.

Welcome back to another Blackrock Foundry edition of Shifting Perspectives! Today, we’re going to the third and final wing of the raid instance, The Iron Assembly. (If you need to catch up, Part 1 covered the Slagworks, and Part 2 covered the Black Forge.)

Welcome to Shifting Perspectives, Blizzard Watch’s regular column for druids of all vocations. This week, Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid) is on like a magnaron. Welcome back to another Blackrock Foundry edition of Shifting Perspectives! Today, we’re going to continue our series on the bosses of Blackrock Foundry, moving on to the second wing, The Black Forge. (If you missed the beginning of our series, click here to read my druid guide to the first wing, The Slagworks.) The fights in this wing are a good bit more challenging; you'll find managing your position to be key to avoiding the many traps that await you here.

Today, we’re going to start a series on the bosses of Blackrock Foundry, beginning with the first wing, The Slagworks.
