With the Dark Portal opening February 5th in TBC Anniversary, Phase 1 raids demand maxed 70s—Pre-Patch Draenei Shamans surge ahead for Alliance with Naaru HoT sustain and 1% hit aura. Bloodmyst quests blast 1-20 fast amid crowds, hitting 60 in 40-50 hours optimized. Shared paths unite, but spec skips unlock sub-40 elites: what edges win?
