Well, I joined a pug raid in there with Alphatrion to get a glimps of the place. The appearance of the place reminds me of Asgard from the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game sort of. They're conifer loving trolls, these Amani.

It is a very fast paced instance, designed apparrently to keep people from resting and sitting still for too long. There are scout npcs that whenever seen must be immediately killed. If aggro'd they run immediately to a gong to summon reinforcements. If someone's quick in vent to call 'em out and the raid reacts fast, they're not much of a problem, they die very fast, non elite.

Guardians are un-CC'able. The fire mages are the biggest trouble of the trolls, though, they are sheepable. But they break sheep in here, so it gets kind of nuts. They have a fire based aoe that packs a whallop.

We fought our way to the Dragonhawk boss, and we were tatered pretty badly, broke off 35 percent of his health on our best shot. A very, very healing intensive fight. Much harder than anything I've encountered in Karazhan. The dragonhawk boss dished out a lot of aoe damage. 


So, what I'm being told by a lot of players who've raided the place is the guilds that are up in the 25 man stuff (and I'm talking able to beat it pretty easily) are really struggling with this new instance. It's sort of like level 2 if Karazhan was level 1. Some strong guilds are getting the first boss killed after many attempts and failures, but then they hit a wall proceeding.

So, get ready for some rough stuff Weds night.
