The Burning Crusade Guides

Getting attuned for Tempest Keep (The Eye) is a long road, but it’s also one of the most rewarding questlines in TBC Classic Anniversary 2026 — it tells a genuinely good story in Shadowmoon Valley before sending you through four Heroic dungeons. This guide walks through every step, from your very first quest with Oronok Torn-heart to the moment A’dal …

Tempest Keep: The Eye is one of the two Phase 2 raids in TBC Classic Anniversary, and it’s where your Tier 5 shoulders and chest pieces come from. Released on May 14, 2026 alongside Serpentshrine Cavern, The Eye features four bosses — Al’ar, Void Reaver, High Astromancer Solarian, and Kael’thas Sunstrider — with loot ranging from item level 128 all …

Tempest Keep doesn’t punish a bad composition the way some TBC raids do — there’s no resist gear requirement, and the bosses are largely throughput and execution checks rather than strict class checks. That said, certain classes shine on specific encounters, and knowing where to slot people makes the difference between a smooth night and a frustrating one. Here’s how …

Most raid leaders plan for Al’ar and Kael’thas and then get blindsided by a hallway pack. In Tempest Keep trash, the non-boss encounters are often where progression guilds actually lose their night, not the bosses themselves. This guide breaks down every dangerous pack in The Eye, what to CC, and what order to kill things in so your raid walks …

Druid has more macro depth than almost any other class in TBC Classic. You’re constantly switching between forms, each with its own toolkit and energy/rage economy. The right macro setup is what separates a Druid who plays all four roles cleanly from one who fumbles form transitions and misses ability windows. This guide covers the essential TBC Classic Druid macros …

🏹 TBC Classic Hunter macros are non-negotiable if you want to play this class well. Hunters have more moving parts than almost any other DPS spec — you’re managing pet behavior, timing Auto Shot weaves, landing Scatter → Trap CC chains, and keeping Misdirection on your tank, all simultaneously. The right macros take the mechanical overhead off your plate so …

TBC Classic Shaman macros handle some of the most mechanically demanding gameplay in the entire game. Enhancement needs weapon swing sync and totem twisting on the fly. Elemental needs instant Earth Shocks between casts without clipping. Restoration in Arena lives and dies by Nature’s Swiftness timing and Earth Shield uptime. A solid macro setup takes all of that complexity and …

Macros are one of the fastest ways to close the skill gap on a Mage. Whether you’re running Karazhan, pushing arena rating on your Frost build, or blasting trash in Serpentshrine, having the right TBC Classic Mage macros means fewer wasted GCDs and cleaner execution on every cooldown window. This guide covers all the essential Mage macros for TBC Classic …

Warlock is one of the macro-heaviest classes in TBC Classic. Between juggling multiple pets, managing Soul Shards, applying stacking DoTs, landing precise fears, and keeping your Felhunter alive in arena, the difference between a sloppy Warlock and a clean one is almost entirely in their macro setup. This guide covers all the essential TBC Classic Warlock macros — organized by …

Macros are one of the highest-leverage things you can set up in TBC Classic. The right macro turns a two-button sequence into one keypress, gets your interrupt out half a second faster, and keeps your pet doing what you told it to do while you’re busy not dying. The wrong macro — or no macro at all — costs you …
