It was just recently that Patch 3.3.5 goes live with regards to the current Wrath of the Lich King in World of Warcraft. Many have waited for the said patch because of the inclusion of a new raid which is the Ruby Sanctum. However, to their disappointment none was released and even have a glimpse of it.

Perhaps as a player you might be wondering what is really with Ruby Sanctum. Why are players excited to experience the new place and the new raid? And what is the connection of Ruby Sanctum with the most anticipated Cataclysm expansion. Here are some details.

Ruby Sanctum is the red dragonflight’s sanctum that is within the Chamber of Aspects. This can be found beneath the Wyrmrest Temple in the Dragonblight place. This would be the new raid dungeon suitable for a 10 man raid to even a 25 player. Much more there are two modes to engage in normal and the heroic one. This dungeon was supposed to go live with Patch 3.3.5. However in an effort of Blizzard to make this world wide, the said raid was not contained in the recent update.

The lore here is that the twilight dragonflight eggs were discovered with the Obsidian Sanctum. However, Korialstrasz asked the Council of Six to destroy them. The said act was done swiftly. But then all communication with the Ruby Sanctum guardians was ceased. The mystic stones were shattered and the said place being breached is dire. The attackers were then tagged as the black dragonflights.

The Ruby Sanctum’s main boss is Halion. Players mini encounters include Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn and General Zarithrian. There are also four mobs by the identity of Charcscale Assaulter, Charscale Commander, Charscale Elite and Charscale Invoker.

It was also stated that players will also have an environment preview of Grim Batol. This is a dungeon for level 86 players come the expansion of Cataclysm. Players would need to assist the red dragonflight to drive out to the Twilight’s Hammer cult. This will be a dungeon that involves flying on the red drakes with flight paths and different rank enemies. In addition, it has to be clarified yet whether the said dungeon was indeed previewed in Patch 3.3.5. One thing is for sure the Ruby Sanctum wasn’t when this update was introduced.

Nonetheless, despite a few disappointments there are still many things you can look forward with regards to the newest patch. It still delivered something great with a whole new gaming experience. In time, Blizzard will release the Ruby Sanctum raid. For sure it would be before the last possible expansion of Cataclysm.

One thing that many World of Warcraft players are anticipating come Cataclysm is the new raid and lockout information. After all, it is always best to play with other players most especially your guild members to fully maximize the playing ground and field. No wonder that many players are in constant search of any sudden changes with regards to raid in lieu with Cataclysm.

Just recently a Blizzard press conference wrapped up pinpointing the new changes with regards to their next update. One thing they stressed out was the raid and new lockout mechanics. For instance is the idea of downshifting. In here a 25 man raid can be divided or split into 10 man groups. Upshifting is definitely not allowed. The ten man division is easier to manage and can easily be created depending on the divisions. This is one thing that Blizzard would want their players to experience.

Raid lockouts will be forgiving in the next update. The idea here is that as long as you killed the same bosses in that raid, you can still be able to join another raid in progress regardless if you are in another raid at the same instance during the lockout. You might be unable to kill the same boss twice but it doesn’t mean you are cut off from the said raid. Thus you can breeze yourself in Cataclysm doing it.

Aside from the new system to be implemented on the next WoW patch, there would be two new raids in the making. These are Grim Batol – The Bastion of Twilight and Skywall.

Grim batol is an entry level raid area with five different encounters and a sixth boss that can be optional depending on the level of difficulty. The final boss is named Cho’gall. Defeating him will trigger a floor collapsing lore that will reveal one horrifying secret according to Afrasiabi the designer. Skywall on the other hand will be a five man instance where you can use your flying mount to travel but can’t be used on combat of any kind. This raid area will include other players that are against the Windlord by the name of Al’Akir.

I am pretty sure these information will keep you fed for a while trying to illustrate how awesome the new battlegrounds will be and the system as a whole. Bear in mind that you can opt to pick now your 10 man ally to aid you with this one. Nonetheless, there is no denying that World of Warcraft Cataclysm is one big and changing update to begin with.
