About Phase 4
Phase 4: Escalation brings patch 5.3 content to MoP Classic, focusing on the growing conflict within the Horde. This phase serves as a bridge between the Throne of Thunder and the final raid of the expansion, giving players time to gear up through heroic scenarios and world content.
The Darkspear Rebellion storyline takes center stage as Vol'jin openly defies Warchief Garrosh Hellscream. Players will fight alongside the rebellion in Battlefield: Barrens, a limited-time world event that sets the stage for the Siege of Orgrimmar in Phase 5.
