Blizzard has released a preview of the Hunter Tier 13 armor set that will be available in World of Warcraft Patch 4.3. You can click on the above image to view a larger version. Here's their description of the Wyrmstalker Battlegear:

"We like to tie a Hunter’s Tier armour in with an appropriate donor creature – it suggests the Hunter has actually hunted for the set! As there’s an awful lot of dragons in this patch, a draconic theme was the way to go. We wanted to reference but not simply reproduce the classic Dragonstalker set. To that end, we limited the use of dragon heads to the helm and chained leathery wings around the shoulders which gives the impression of a skeletal dragon crouching over the Hunter’s upper body."

In addition to the Tier 13 reveal, Blizzard has posted a visual guide to hunter Tiers 1-12 for Transmogrification purposes. You can view the hunter's armor history after the jump, and check out Wowhead's guide to find all your old tier gear. Also, be sure to browse through all of the currently released Tier 13 previews.

Blizzard has released the official preview of the Raid Finder feature that's coming to World of Warcraft in Patch 4.3. The cross-realm tool will allow level 85 players to access a 25-player version of the Dragon Soul raid dungeon. This Raid Finder version will be easier than the normal and heroic versions of Dragon Soul; in fact, it's been split into two wings that each contains four boss encounters. If the Raid Finder proves popular, more raid instances may be added to it in the future.

Loot acquired through the Raid Finder, including tier set pieces, will be of a lower item level than items acquired from normal or heroic versions of the Dragon Soul raid. Basically, it's a way for non-raiders to experience 4.3's raid content. If you're curious about the raid's composition, each Raid Finder raid will include two tanks, six healers, and seventeen damage dealers.

More details, including a FAQ, can be found after the jump.

After releasing a teaser image of patch 4.3's legendary daggers last week, Blizzard has posted its official Fangs of the Father preview. Rogues will begin the quest line in the Dragon's Soul raid and complete it with the execution of Deathwing.

"Rogues who succeed will receive a paired set of daggers that will become increasingly lethal as their bearer progresses along the legendary quest. At the height of their strength, they will be imbued with the vile essence of the Old Gods, as well as the maddened fury of the Black Dragonflight -- bestowing great power upon their bearer. These powers include a stacking increase to Agility which builds until dark wings unfurl from the rogue’s back, removing the combo point cost and increasing damage of finishing moves for a short time. In addition, the wings which can be spread on command (with no combat benefit) to slow a rapid descent, allowing the rogue to slowly fall to the ground… or enact a little death from above!"

Watch the video below to see the three stages of the Fangs of the Father.

Blizzard has released a preview of the Priest Tier 13 armor set that will be available in World of Warcraft Patch 4.3. You can click on the above image to view a larger version. Here's their description of the Vestments of Dying Light:

"Priests (and paladins for that matter) are often the most challenging classes to design ‘badass’ armor sets for, in contrast to the death knight and warlock, whose underlying concepts demand the unquestionably cool dark and sinister approach.

In this instance, however, the design asked for a bold, two-tone, ‘Venetian carnival style with creepy, soulless black eyes,’ which gave me a powerful, potentially edgy direction to explore. The set’s ‘Dying Light’ theme was visualized as a spiked, setting sun motif."

In addition to the Tier 13 reveal, Blizzard has posted a visual guide to priest Tiers 1-12 for Transmogrification purposes. You can view the priest's armor history after the jump, and check out Wowhead's guide to find all your old tier gear. Also, be sure to browse through all of the currently released Tier 13 previews.
