  • Acquisitions Automa - Because of a flaw-turned-feature, the protoform energies stored within these automa detonate upon death. How fortuitous!
    
    • Detonation - Explodes on death, inflicting 30 Cosmic damage to enemies within 0 yards, and knocking them back a considerable distance.
  • Guardian Automa - By modifying their own protoform energies, these prototype Guardians form sentry automa. When deployed to an area, these sentries engage enemies who pass through their detection range.
    
    • Sentry Fire - The Sentry periodically unleashes a barrage of energy at random targets that inflicts 4 Cosmic damage.
  • Defense Matrix Automa - By carefully projecting protoform energy through a harmonising prism, Defense Matrix Automa can partially shield nearby allies from damage.

I KNEW that was azerite pumping out behind the jailer.

[Relapses]

Oh boy! They datamined the last boss of the expansion, I can't wait to find out what he doe---

...nevermind. See ya guys in 10.0.

[Daltin]

Surprised no one is posting about Arthas in the Anduin encounter.

[Cosmic Janitor]

So Arthas was likely used to forge Anduin's gimp suit or sword, well that is him finally accounted for. That still leaves the pathetic lapdog of Sylvie unaccounted, would be kinda hillarious if they completely forgot about him. The lack of interaction with Arthas is kinda lame though if it remains to be only part of the encounter.

Azeroth being part of the very last boss fight pretty much als confirms what many already thought, he will be trying to do something with Azeroth. My guess is still that she is a manifestation of the 7th fractal (rofl) and therefore has the power of creation in her. Something along those lines.

[Maell]

Since they intend to lock the last 3 bosses out of progression for the heroic week, this would have been a great opportunity to not put them in the dungeon journal and not test them in the PTR. It would have been really interesting.

[Nerovar]

Surprised no one is posting about Arthas in the Anduin encounter.

What are the odds they're just going to disenchant Arthas' soul in this encounter like they did with Garrosh?

[AwkwardSquirtle]

So Arthas was likely used to forge Anduin's gimp suit or sword.

It's the sword. That's what dominated him. He was the soul fragment we saw Zovaal grab earlier.

When he casts that, we just need to construct additional pylons.

[McNeil]

Bit dissapointed to see a whole bunch of nobodies in the raid. I at least expected some sort of fight to free Arthas, but it seems like he's just being used to give the Anduin fight a couple more mechanics. Maybe its for the best if he remains dead for good after the fight after all. And we get to fight Mal'Ganis for the how many time.... I lost count by now. I used to solo him as a quest mob back in WotLK and now somehow he got to be one of the final bosses of the final raid of an expansion.

The lore is beyond salvagable but there might be hope that the actual encounters are somewhat good.

[Soon-TM]

When he casts that, we just need to construct additional pylons.

Require more minerals

OT - Interesting read. It looks like the raid is going to be the only decent thing in 9.2

[turboether]

Zovaal has Defile... PTSD intensifies.

[Dejo93]

Calling it. Arthas comes back XD

[hulkgor]

"Desolation - Zovaal launches a volley of missiles at Azeroth, decreasing Azeroth's health by up to 20%"

oh boy, oh boy

[shoc]

[size=3][*] Desolation - Zovaal launches a volley of missiles at Azeroth, decreasing Azeroth's health by up to 20%. One of these missiles can be intercepted by each player, inflicting 60 Shadow damage.

That means if you fail the encounter Azeroth can die, that will be cool to see.

[Cosmic Janitor]

That means if you fail the encounter Azeroth can die, that will be cool to see.

Screen shakes, everyone is dead, you respawn. I don't think WoW ever did anything special for the fail states.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

I thought they said that the last three bosses weren't going to be available to test before they released on live?

The abilities for Anduin sound interesting on paper. I would rather that Varian comes back to help than Arthas. Yeah I know people want Arthas but Anduin has no connection to him, and the ghost of Varian coming back to save his son would be more meaningful.

That means if you fail the encounter Azeroth can die, that will be cool to see.

Deathwing's enrage was to cause another Cataclysm, but nothing special happened. The raid just wipes. A wipe cutscene of the world ending would be nice but it needs to be skippable.

[Nitedrifter]

Zovaal has Defile... PTSD intensifies.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[melodramocracy]

There are cheat sheets for IT tests that are shorter than that journal. Keeh-ryst.

[Solzhenitsyn]

Damn...can't wait to do Artificer twice in one ex-pack.
