Tier 0.5 Dungeon Sets Coming in Phase 5
Phase 5 launches tomorrow, and with it new dungeon tier sets for every class! Nicknamed Tier 0.5, as they don't require stepping into raid, the sets are much more competitive than the name might imply. While the quest chains involved in getting them can be fairly lengthy, difficult, or even expensive, many of the set pieces are surprisingly competitive and much more reliable for players who aren't raiding, or necessarily getting as much raid gear as they might like!

SAGamer recently did a deep dive on
Revendreth and the Venthyr covenant
, which showcased a lot of great concept art from the zone, as well as a few nice bits of insight regarding the thought process behind the design. The timing pairs nicely with with the recent focus on the zone and
Castle Nathria

Nature Resistance in Classic Phase 5 and the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj
One of the most important things coming with Classic Phase 5 and the Ahn'Qiraj raids is the emphasis on Nature Resistance, where it comes from, and what bosses it's useful for. Vanilla veterans will remember stacking it throughout their raids, but similar to Fire Resistance, the changes in Classic WoW mean that exactly how important it will be can vary greatly depending on the guild in question.
