TheWoWDBRaid - Battle for Azeroth
Azeroth
14 encounters, 72 boss abilities and 134 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

As self-preservation drives the wise to seek shelter from these terrors, glory awaits any brave heroes who wish to test their mettle against the most powerful of foes.
