WoW Warlords of Draenor: Dungeons

Warlords of Draenor offers eight new dungeons, thanks to which you get to fight dozens of new bosses and explore the majority of the continent, by fighting in mines, stone fortresses or mountain peaks.

The best way to find a dungeon is to use the Dungeon Finder option in the Dungeons & Raids tab. After you use this option, the computer automatically finds the other players for the dungeons, thanks to which you waste no time over finding them.

As you can see, using the search engine ensures you with lots of gold and experience, once a day.

In the Dungeons & Raids there are two options of selecting the dungeons that you want to play. By selecting Random Warlords of Draenor Dungeon the search engine finds players for each dungeon available to you. At the beginning of the game, it means a choice between, up to, two options but, after you reach level 100, you can access several, or more, options. The computer suggests those of the dungeons, for which finding the rest of the players is the fastest.

After you select Specific Dungeons, you can pick the individual instances that you want to take part in. You can, e.g. pick all of the dungeons, save one that you are already bored with, because you completed it several times already. In such a case, the game takes you into account for those of the dungeons that you have selected.

At the top of the window, there are 4 icons: shield, sword, cross and banner. The first three determine your function in the party. In the case of the mage, who I played as, the game highlighted the sword icon automatically so, my role in this dungeon was to deal as much damage as possible. The shield represents the tank, i.e. a player that attracts the enemies and takes on the majority of damage. The cross represents the healer, who is supposed to heal the rest of the party members. Some of the classes may pick, e.g. the Shaman function, who is responsible for both dealing damage and healing. All that depends on the level of development of your character. You can pick several options, but you are going to perform only one function, during the instance, anyways. The banner icon means that you already know the dungeon and you can lead the party across it, while giving advice on the individual opponents. This option is irrespective of your function in the battlefield.

As soon as you are ready, click Find Group. You will be queued automatically for the Dungeon. While waiting for your turn, you can come back to completing missions, or deal with something else. This does not matter. Still, you should remember not to offer the other players that you should form a party. This way, you will lose your place in the queue.

Waiting time depends, to a major extent, mainly on your function in the party. Definitely, characters that deal damage wait the longest, i.e. 20 to 30 minutes. You can find a party much faster if you are a healer or a tank, which usually is several minutes.

After the game finds your new party members, you will be presented with a suggestion of the dungeons and your role in the battlefield. You can click Enter Dungeon, which means your consent. If you click Leave Queue, the wait is all for nothing and you will have to queue up again.

After you click Enter Dungeon, a window presenting the decisions of the rest of the players pops up. If there is a player that does not accept the choice, the entire party is disbanded. You do not need to worry, though, because you remain at the front of the queue anyways so, the waiting time, until you enter the dungeon, should be no longer than several seconds.

If all the party members accept the selection, you automatically get to the beginning of the selected instance.
