Hellfire Citadel Raid Schedule
Coincidental to our conversation in guild last night, Blizzard have now released the raid release schedule for the new raid .. (this is taken from the US site as there has not been anything placed on the EU one yet):
The armies of Azeroth are set to charge into Tanaan Jungle and the new Raid found there. To help with the coordination of these fiery days to come, we’ve broken down the unlock schedule for Hellfire Citadel. Get ready!
If you're among those patiently sharpening your sword until Raid Finder unlocks, please note that you'll need a minimum item level of 650 to enter. Here's the rundown:
Week 1 (with the release of Patch 6.2)
Hellfire Citadel Normal and Heroic difficulties open.
Week 2
Mythic difficulty becomes available.
Raid Finder Wing 1 (Hellfire Assault, Iron Reaver, Kormrok) unlocks.
Week 4
Raid Finder Wing 2 (Hellfire High Council, Kilrogg, Gorefiend) unlocks.
Week 6
Raid Finder Wing 3 (Shadow-Lord Iskar, Socrethar the Eternal, Tyrant Velhari) unlocks.
Week 8
Raid Finder Wing 4 (Fel Lord Zakuun, Xhul’horac, Mannoroth) unlocks.
Week 10
Raid Finder Wing 5 (Archimonde) unlocks.
They certainly seem to be planning on stretching out the LFR unlocking ...
That's a very slow release. Going from 5 weeks in Blackrock Foundry to 10 weeks I'd frowns face but I don't plan on doing a great deal of it
