Blackrock-foundry

The first wing of Blackrock Foundry LFR, The Slagworks, opens up today. It consists of 3 bosses: Gruul, Oregorger, and The Blast Furnace. Our bosses in 5 seconds series focuses on the core points you need to know going into these fights. Keep in mind that you'll need a minimum item level of 635 to queue for Blackrock Foundry LFR.

Blackrock Foundry normal and heroic modes have been live since early this month, and mythic opened just this week — so now that many players have had a chance to jump in, let's talk about our raiding success (or lack thereof).

Welcome to Blood Pact, Blizzard Watch's regular column for affliction, demonology, and destruction warlocks. This week, your hostess Megan O'Neill (@_poneria) accepts her soulstone resurrection and rejoins the class column raid...with a loot list.

Players are reporting extreme motion sickness for the room mechanics involved in the Hans'gar and Franzok fight. Some players have no history of motion sickness in other scenarios, like traveling by boat or car, and yet are reporting headaches, confusion, vertigo, and nausea from the moving conveyor belts that make up the room's floor in the fight.

Like many of you, my raid group is currently progressing through Blackrock Foundry.

Lead Game Designer Ion Hazzikostas took to the forums to better explain Blizzard's philosophy on Blackrock Foundry's difficulty tuning.

The latest hotfixes for World of Warcraft's patch 6.0.3 have arrived (hot on the heels of the previous hotfixes) with more tuning changes and bug fixes for Blackrock Foundry.

It's been out for a couple of days now, so let's talk about Blackrock Foundry.

Tonight we have more bug fixes and adjustments for Blackrock Foundry bosses, including a very nice fix for Gruul that small groups will appreciate.

As noted by Community Manager Lore yesterday, Blackrock Foundry is opening independent of patch 6.1, and in no way indicates an impending release of the patch.
