Phase 2

Phase 2 introduces the first major difficulty spike of TBC Classic with Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. These raids require significant coordination and gear checks that challenge even experienced guilds.

Lady Vashj and Kael'thas Sunstrider are considered two of the most mechanically demanding encounters in TBC, each requiring precise execution across multiple phases. Kael'thas in particular tests raid awareness with his legendary weapons phase.

New daily quest hubs provide reputation and gold farming opportunities, while Guild Banks finally arrive to help organize raid consumables and materials.
