Who needs the item
Claw of Chromaggus is especially valuable for damage casters: the stat set (spell power, spell hit, intellect) fits this role's profile exactly. It is a noticeable upgrade over the previous raid stage's rewards.
Farming tactics on x5
On an x5 server repeated raid clears are faster, so the chance to secure the item within a reasonable number of weeks is much higher. To speed it up:
- Keep the raid in weekly rotation and do not skip the needed boss.
- Agree loot priority in advance — fewer disputes and faster distribution.
- Do not forget stopgap items and consumables (elixirs, enchants) — they keep your raid contribution high while you farm.
Summary
Claw of Chromaggus is one of the signature items of its stage: strong stats and a memorable look make it a worthy raid progression goal. For a guild, hunting it is a good reason to polish the fight and raise the raid's overall gear level.

FAQ
Where does the Claw of Chromaggus drop?
It drops from Chromaggus in Blackwing Lair. The same boss also drops top one-handers for warriors, so loot competition is high.
Why is spell hit valuable?
The hit bonus brings you closer to the cap (16% versus a raid boss without talents), letting you shift some points and enchants toward pure damage.
Who should get the dagger first?
Mages and warlocks: the mix of spell power and hit gives the biggest damage gain. Shadow priests and elemental shamans also benefit.
