Instance suggestion: Temple of Gundrak

[Deleted]

After my first instance suggestion Castle Gilneas apparently was liked by most of you, I decided to post my next instance suggestion. It´s the big Temple of Gundrak. I don´t think it would be a very good raid instance but I think blizzard could make a 5man instance like TdM out of it. So here is my suggestion about the instance and the bosses which have all a hardmode. I hope you enjoy it.


After you enter the instance you find yourself in a long corridor. Under the players there is the strange serpent tail which you can see in the first Gundrak instance. The players encounter three groups of Mobs containing 2 Godtorturer and one Shaman of the Drakkari. After the corridor you enter the Ritual chamber of Quetz´lun. Now you see that the serpent tail belongs to the Highprophet of Quetz´lun who is trapped inside the wall. In the Ritual chamber are 3 more groups containing one Godtorturer, one Shaman of the Drakkari and one Priest of Quetz´lun. There also is a pat containing the same mobs as in the corridor before walking around.

Trash:
Godtorturer: 100k Life Points
3,2k Damage on Tank. Attackspeed: 1,7
Godtorturing: Deals 4k Damage every second over 12sek to a random player. The player can avoid the damage if he moves for the 12sek. Only running counts.
Cruel Poison: Deals 3,4k Damage to two random players every 2 seconds over 6sek.

Shaman of the Drakkari: 80k Life Points
3k Damage on Tank. Attackspeed: 2
Totem of strength: Increase the damage of all Mobs by 100%. It has 15k Life Points.
Totem of Healing: Heals every Mob by 15k every 3sek. It has 15k Life Points.
Chain Lightning: Deals 5k Damage to every player.

Priest of Quetz´lun: 80k Life Points
2k Damage on Tank. Attackspeed: 1
Windwrath: Prevents all players from casting for 5sek.
Airblast: Deals 6k Damage to the Tank and knocks him back.
Lightblast: Deals 4k Damage to a random player and 7k to every player near to him (3 meters).


Qui´Jin, Highprophet of Quetz´lun

500k Life Points

The Boss is trapped inside the wall and cannot move. He looks like Hakkar without wings.

7k Damage on Tank. Attackspeed: 2,5

Wrath of the Prophet: Deals 8k every second to every player. Is cast if there is no one in melee range.

Chainlightning: Deals 6k Damage to evey player.

Static Field: Creates under a random player a static field which deals 8k damage per second over 10sek. It has a diameter of 8 meters and begins to deal damage after 4sek.

Windblast: Knocks all players which are not in melee range through the room.

Scythestrike: Deals 7k Damage to the Tank and after 5sek another 6k.

Every 25% the Boss casts a shield on himself which makes him immune to any damage. Now one player has to go through a portal into the Ghost dimension. As long as he is in the ghost dimension the abilities of the boss outside will deal no damage to him but if he touches one of the other players he will receive damage equal to 50% of his total health. He has to deal 25% damage to the ghostform of the boss. The ghost form has 150k Life Points and sometimes knocks the player back. The boss outside continues to use his abilities of course.

When the Boss reaches 1 Hp he casts the shield one last time. When the ghost form dies the Boss outside also dies.

Hardmode: The Boss can be killed in Hardmode. To do this you have to not destroy the altar of Quetz´lun.
New abilities:

Tornado: A Tornade moves slowly through the room. If a player touches it, it will deal 8k Damage and knockest he player back. The Tornado has random aggro.

All players are surrounded by a bubble which has a diameter of 5 meters. If the player in the ghost dimension touches the bubble he will get the damage.

Every 15 – 25sek also spawn two small wind serpents which have 15k life and knock players back if they touch them.

If you kill the Hardmode version of the boss he dropps a level 213 epic and an Emblem of Valor.

Achievments:

Don´t touch this altar, dude: Kill Qui´Jin without destroying the altar of Quetz´lun.

Can´t touch this: Kill the Hardmode version of Qui´Jin without a player getting damage in the ghost dimension.

After Qui´Jin is dead Har´Koa enters the room and accompanies the group. Now you move through and icy stable where some groups containing one Godtorturer, one Priest of Har´Koa and one mad snow leopard. At the end of the stable is a big protective shield which cannot be passed by Har´Koa but by the players. On the other side two Shieldwarde of the drakkari are casting the shield. They have 10k life and if they die the shield collapses.

Priest of Har´Koa: 90k Life Points

Snowsplinter: Throughout the fight snowsplinters fall from the ceiling. They deal 6k damage on impact and leave a zone of frozen ground on the floor which has a diameter of 6 meters. If a player stands on frozen ground his attackspeed will be lowered by 90%. Shadows on the ground show where the snowsplinters will impact.

Snowstorm: Two areas of Frozen Ground turn into ice pillars. All players have to move behind them becaus Hara´Thes casts a 8sek snowstorm which deals 100k Damage, unless you stand behind a pillar.

At 50% one Avatar of the snow leopard will spawn. This mob will attack random targets and deal 600 damage per second and cannot be killed.

Hardmode: The boss can be killed in Hardmode. To do this you have to not destroy the magic shield which doesn´t allow Har´koa to enter the chamber.

New abilities:
Every 5sek a enslaved Snow Leopard spawns. It has 10k Hp and deals 700 Damage to cloth wearers. They also slow down the movement of all players around them by 40%.

Instead of two areas of Frozen Ground only one turns into a ice pillar.

As long as Har´Thes or the enslaved snow leopards stand on frozen ground they will deal the double amount of damage.

Every 30sek there also spawns a big snow leopard instead of a enslaved one. The big snow leopard has 50k life points and moves slowly towards Hara`Thes. If he reaches her he will heal her for 30% of her total health. After the big snow leopard is spawned 10sek no enslaved ones will spawn.

If you kill the Hardmode version of the boss he dropps a level 213 epic and an Emblem of Valor.

Achievments:

No kittens allowed: Kill Hara´Thes without the help of Har´Koa.
5 at once: Kill five enslaved snow leopards within 5sek.

Now you have to follow the path over a frozen sea. The group has to jump from one ice floe to another to cross it. After that you have to walk up a circular staircase to the room of the next boss. On the way you have to deal with 6 groups containing one Priest of Rhunok and a Fighting Colossus of the Drakkari.

Priest of Rhunok: 80k Life Points
3k Damage on Tank. Attackspeed: 2

[Kinoki]

I don't doubt that Gun'Drak will be the next big raid. But I also think that Blizzard has already begun designing it with bosses (and with that achievements and items) already outlined (which I think is true for Icecrown Citadel too.)

[Elementium]

Sounds nice. Trolls are kinda meh.. idk way too many of them these days. Anyway great ideas. Now go outside.

[Amgyn]

I think everybody knows this will be an instance/raid soon-ish.

[Offhand]

NO MORE TROLL RAIDS.

[Deleted]

NO MORE TROLL RAIDS.

First my instance is not a raid it´s a five man instance. And second I also don´t like another troll raid and thats why this is a 5 man instance

[Pheonixis]

The problem here is that we already have an instance called Gundrak, which I would guess is the majority of the troll capital. To then have a temple called Gundrak would just add up to the confusion, with two raids at the same place and with almost identical names.

[Deleted]

I know what you mean Pheonixis but the current Gundrak instance is only beyond the courtyard on which the Rhino is standing. so we don´t saw what is in the main Temple yet. Also I don´t want this to be a raid because we had enought troll raids but a 5man troll instance would be ok

[sharkee]

What's wrong with troll raids? I'm sick of dragons and deathknights atm, could do with a chnge of scenery.

MOAR TROLLRAIDS!

[Autodidact]

Apparently haing 0 progression troll raids is too many, right?
K.

[EzriEU]

What's wrong with you people?

Did anyone of you actually read what the OP wrote? It's not about a raid, ist's about a regular 5 player dungeon!

Now go back and read it or just be quiet! I'm so sick of all this self-important "scream scream scream" when you don't even have a clue what you're talking about!

To the OP - very nice work! Your ideas for boss encounters are very creative and I'd be thrilled if blizzard some time in the future implemented parts of it, if not the whole thing.

[DruidFTW]

Two things:

1. I like your idea. I like your suggestions, and the interesting mechanics you came up with. I am very in favour of new 5 man content.

2. If you want blizz to do anything about this, post it on the official forums, and post it about 9 months ago. Because blizzard has everything mapped out way in advance, they were working on uldar encounters when you were still trying to down illidan at 70.

[Vampyrr]

One question for the first boss you mentioned an achievement for not destroying his alter but no where do you mention anything about said alter in the encounter so how does it get implemented?

[Shjade]

I don't get it. Gundrak already IS a 5-man instance.

This looks more like "Instance remodeling suggestion: Temple of Gundrak."

[Varithorn1]

Zul'again?

[typ0]

10/10 would read again

[Deleted]

I just posted the last boss: Frost King Malakk. Sorry it because it took me so long but I was very busy at the weekend.

The altar

One question for the first boss you mentioned an achievement for not destroying his alter but no where do you mention anything about said alter in the encounter so how does it get implemented?

The altar stand in the room of the boss on the other side of wall in which the boss is trapped. Your party can decide if they want to destroy the altar to make the boss easier of if they want to try the Hardmode.
