Sylvanas Windrunner Raid Boss: The Big Elephant in the Room

[sam86]

Hope she's harder than mythic kil'jaeden and mythic azshara combined

why ?
tbh raiding now is getting way too much complicated, if anything i wish it gets simpler
not to mention sylvannas specially needs to end as loot piniata, everyone gets to f8ck her

[Soon-TM]

It will be revealed that Sylvanas is actually Mal'Ganis and the real Sylvanas is heald captive somewhere. Rescuing her will be the main plot of 10.0.

Inc dreadlord skin for Sylvanas in HotS

Dreadlady. She will be a dreadlady. Or is it gender neutral? We didn't have any canon female nathrezim AFAIK.

We're just less than 6 days away from finding out who delivers the defeating/killing blow* to the second most iconic WoW character to yet exist.

bit longer than that I think. raid testing won't start straightaway and there's every chance that if she's the final boss there will be a cinematic which will be hidden. I actually think she will get killed but being in the Maw anyway probably won't die and will be imprisoned by us somewhere very deep in Torghast. If it's not us that kills her it will be Tyrande, 100%.

Sylvanas won't be going anywhere, she is setup for inevitable Void Lord expansion as WoW version of Kerrigan.

She will get same deal as Azshara, where we defeat her, but won't actually kill and instead cut a deal of some sort or will be forced to do so due to circumstances.

[D3athsting]

Genn Graymane ofc

[Tente]

It should be Genn if she is mean to die (It wont happend)

Part of the master plan to save Azeroth and make everyone happy!

[Laurathansal]

We wake up and discover we have been under N'Zoth control all this time. Nothing of what happened so far in Shadowlands actually happened.

no we'll have the datamined dialogue strings for what happens after the cinematic

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

I'm gonna bump this up so we don't have to make another thread.

Just found some stuff about the encounter.

We're just less than 6 days away from finding out who delivers the defeating/killing blow* to the second most iconic WoW character to yet exist.

Try about 2-3 months when the first kill happens. It'll be tied to a cinematic that won't be unlocked until then. They aren't going to give that information out in a simple data mine.

Even with dialogue they'll like encrypt that too and/or make it so the dialogue doesn't spoil who and anything about the cinematic. Wouldn't be the first time.

[Count Zero]

So two Horde cities (org and Dazar'alor) have been raided, two former Warchiefs (Garrosh and Sylvanas) will have been raided ... with just Jaina for the Alliance.

I can totally see we hit 10% health and she slips and falls into whatever the Convergence is while saying she'll get us next time. We then beat up Nathanos till the fight ends. The Mythic version is she slips at the start of the fight and we fight super Nathanos. :P

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Looks like she also is going to destroy Torghast ..super early in the fight too. o.O

Here's the top of Torghast with ICC above it. We fight Sylvanas here.

[Magnificent Madmartegan]

I would find it both funny and messed up if it comes around full circle and Arthas "kills" her again....

[Maljinwo]

Godfrey will just shoot her

[Powerogue]

My money is on us. They've built up Tyrande a lot, so I expect her to at least be present, but we spent literally an entire expansion building up wanting to kill Sylvanas, I want to kill Sylvanas. Tyrande got her cutscene.

I don't think it's going to happen, but I really want a parody machinima of it.

Meme votes go to Godfrey or Lord Garithos.
