Patch 4.3, Cataclysm's final major content patch, is right around the corner, and Deathwing himself is waiting for you! It promises to bring exciting new adventures in both 5-man dungeons and 10- and 25-man raids. The patch will also introduce an all-new Darkmoon Faire, the transmogrification system, and the Raid Finder, a random Dungeon Finder tool for raid groups.
Join us as we cover the patch from top to bottom!
