Overview

Sho'ravon, Greatstaff of Annihilation

Game iconSho'ravon, Greatstaff of Annihilation is an epic two-handed staff for casters, added to World of Warcraft alongside the Firelands raid (Cataclysm, patch 4.2). The staff grants Intellect and is meant for classes that wield the power of the mind: mages, warlocks, priests, shamans, and druids in damage or healing specializations.

The model is styled after the entire Firelands raid: a dark, charred shaft topped with living flame burning around a white-hot core. The fire lights up the runic carvings along its full length, so the staff visibly "breathes" heat even at rest. This makes it an expressive finishing touch for fiery and infernal Tier 12 sets.

Two versions of the staff exist in the game: one from the normal raid mode and one from heroic. They are completely identical in appearance, so either one works for transmog.

Source

The staff drops from the final boss of the Firelands raid — Ragnaros. He is the last and most difficult opponent in the dungeon, so you will have to clear all the previous bosses to reach him.

  • The Firelands raid belongs to the Cataclysm expansion and opens without any additional quests — you just need to reach the entrance in Hyjal.
  • The version of the staff from our guide drops from the heroic mode of the Ragnaros fight.
  • There is also a normal-mode counterpart — Game iconSho'ravon, Greatstaff of Annihilation with the exact same appearance.
  • The drop is not guaranteed: the staff is part of Ragnaros's general loot table, so several runs may be needed.
  • The raid lockout is once per week per character, so it is convenient to spread the farm across several heroes.

Who it suits visually

  • Complements the fiery Tier 12 caster sets — the staff shares their color palette and living-flame theme.
  • Harmonizes with any sets in red-orange tones where you want to emphasize the fire element.
  • Suits warlock or fire mage looks built around smoldering and infernal motifs.
  • Stands out against dark leather or cloth armor, adding a bright, burning accent.

Tips

1

The Firelands raid is long outdated and can be cleared solo even at max level without much effort.

2

Heroic Ragnaros has a drawn-out fight with several phases, so on a character with a small health pool it may take a few minutes.

3

Launch the raid straight on heroic mode: the staff drops from it, and the boss poses no threat at the current level anyway.

4

Farming the loot is convenient across several characters, since the raid lock applies separately to each hero.

5

If the staff is slow to drop, check an extra normal-mode run on parallel characters — the appearance there is the same.

6

Before submitting the item for transmog, make sure it has been added to your collection: it is enough to obtain either of the two variants once.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
