Draconian Deflector Shield for Tanks
Deflector is a rare item for Warrior and Paladin tanks in World of Warcraft Forever. It takes the Off Hand slot and has an item level of 63. This allows the tank to prepare for their first raids. Players were already farming this item back in Classic as one of the best pre-raid options.
A run through UBRS requires a group of up to ten people. Our team assembles such a lineup from Rank 1 boosters. The group guides you through the entire dungeon to the Spire Throne. You won’t have to search for players in LFG before every run.
Where to Farm Draconian Deflector
Deflector drops from General Drakkisath, the final boss of UBRS. This general commands Nefarian’s armies in Blackrock Spire. His fight takes place at the Spire Throne at the very end of the dungeon. The drop rate for this item was around 23% per kill in Classic. That's why we recommend the “until drop” format for players who need this upgrade for a specific raid.
Farming Drakkisath fulfills three objectives:
- Deflector for the Off Hand slot
- Random-class Tier 0 chestpiece
- Blood of the Black Dragon Champion
Tier 0 sets in Forever received a new bonus structure. Blizzard has set thresholds for every number of pieces from two to six. That's why the second item in the set already unlocks the first bonus. The Drakkisath chestpiece covers the Chest slot. Every successful run brings you closer to the final six-piece bonus.
The Onyxia attunement quest chain for both factions ends with Drakkisath. Your character will obtain Blood of the Black Dragon Champion from this boss during the same run if the final quest in the chain is already in your quest log. You won’t have to run UBRS again just for the blood. Then you turn it in to an NPC and receive Drakefire Amulet. Entry into Onyxia's Lair for 40 players requires this amulet.
