Black Temple is the penultimate raid in World of Warcraft<\/a> TBC history. This is for sure the symbol of the Burning Crusade add-on. In-world it is located in the eastern part of Shadowmoon valley – the high-level location of Outland. Even to this date, the BT fortress is one of the most grandiose places in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In the raid<\/a>, your group will meet the 8 bosses followed by the lord Illidan Stormrage himself as the head boss of the dungeon. You will also encounter famous WoW TBC characters – Maev Shadowsong, Akama, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Temple Raid Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We highly recommend bringing 3 Tanks, 6 Healers, and 16 DPS. This setup is proven to be the most optimal for the Black Temple dungeon back in the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are no preferences for the tanks. However, a Druid Tank will be good to have due to evasion for the First Phase of Reliquary of the Lost encounter. Also, at least two of your tanks will have to stack high fire resistance in order to be able to handle the Fire Elementals on Illidan – the last boss of the Black Temple raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

During the fights, tanks will get serious damage. We recommend having at least two direct heals focused on the tank healing. The best healing setup for the Black Temple is 2 Holy Paladins, 2 Restore Shamans, 1 Restore Druid, and 1 Holy Priest. Druids need to keep HoTs on the raid at all times, allowing Paladins to focus on the tanks. Shamans, and priests need to focus on the raid healing and assist with tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damage Dealers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most encounters in the Black Temple favor ranged damage dealers over melee. You will need 5-7 melee DPS players out of 16. The main thing that damage dealers need to stack for this raid is shadow-resistant gear. The more you have it the more likely you are to defeat Mother Shahraz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
