Medium Armor Ideal for stamina-based builds (e.g., Dragonknights, Wardens, Stamina Nightblades). - Bonuses: Stamina recovery, weapon damage, critical chance. - Crafting Sets: Hundings Rage, Night Mothers Gaze, Briarheart.

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
