In my opinion, None
Why you want raids from day one?
You can't run them at least for a month or two.Last edited by mmoc8d2dfa350a; 2010-10-09 at 01:53 PM.

Yes... raids will be released on day 1.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.

Every raid will be available, so expect that top guilds have killed Deathwing about 2 weeks after the launch and then we need to prepare for next expansion

This took me a long time to find this out for you! I cliked on Forums > Cataclysm > Raids and one of the sticky topics was Cataclysm Dungeons and Raids.

There will be 4 raids available on, or very quickly after, release:
Blackwing Decent (in Blackrock Mountian)
Bastion of Twilight (near Grim Batol in Twilight Highlands)
Throne of the Four Winds (elemental plane of air, entrance in Uldum)
Baradin Hold (VoA-style raid in Tol Barad).
As for later on, we've had Firelands and Cot:War of the Ancients pretty much confirmed to be part of patched content. In addition Deathwing will appear in an unnamed raid likely in the final content patch of Cataclysm.
Because Blizzard is planning on releasing multiple, smaller, raids simultaneously, it's difficult to speculate on when exactly any future raids will be released. However I think the Fireland raid is a good bet for 4.1, and I wouldn't expect the Cot:War of the Ancients any later then 4.2.Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.

There will be eight new 5-player dungeons, available in both regular and Heroic modes. In addition, we are planning level-85 Heroic versions of two of the game’s popular original 5-player dungeons, Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep.
Regarding raids, we plan to continue to offer 10- and 25-player versions of our raid dungeons. We’re currently working on four raid dungeons for Cataclysm’s launch, and each will have optional, more challenging versions available for both 10- and 25-player raids. We received a lot of feedback from the community about the amount and difficulty level of raid content available at the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, and we wanted to make sure that more high-level content was available to players of every skill level at Cataclysm’s launch.
also: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft:_Cataclysm
and that's not counting the "voa" of cataclysm, which will be Baradin Hold, released @ start of cata aswellCataclysm will ship with three end-game raid dungeons and a PvP-unlocked raid dungeon (in the same style as the Vault of Archavon), each with both 10 and 25-man settings. Once the final boss of each has been defeated, players can set each boss to heroic mode (as in Icecrown Citadel).
Blackwing Descent, [25, 23] a raid inspired by Blackwing Lair featuring the return of Nefarian, Deathwing's son and the end boss of the earlier raid, located in Blackrock Mountain, accessible only by flight via Nefarian's ledge high up on the mountain.
Bastion of Twilight, [34, 78] a raid instance in the Twilight Highlands atop the Twilight Citadel; players will fight Cho'gall, leader of the Twilight's Hammer, as well as Lady Sinestra (who appears in heroic mode only).
Throne of the Four Winds, [38, 81] a raid instance in the Skywall, the portal of which appears above Uldum; it features Al'Akir the Wind God of the Elemental Plane of Air as final boss.Last edited by Dannz; 2010-10-09 at 01:14 PM.

stop being stupid, you've gotten multiple "confirms" here, if you're still an unbeliever and not a troll, go google it yourself, it's not hard, and im pretty sure the official cataclysm site, and wowwiki are not wrong Originally Posted by Sir Punky
and the fact they are testing cataclysm raids soon in the beta should provide you even more proof of things being shipped with the game
and FYI, not everyone takes +1 month to level to lvl 85 and start raiding, there are more hardcore ppl in this game then that

Now read a bit further down and see the ones that says unfinished and will not be availabe on release I thought they would be a hint.

TBC: raids from day one
WoTLK: raids from day one
Cata: OMG we're not going to release any raids!!!one!!!eleven!!!!fourteen
Seriously the first tier of raiding will be available from day one, as it always has. And it won't take a month for them to be cleared, some top-end (to not use any derogatory terms) guild will clear them all in a week or two.
