Wrathion RIP

Fingers cross that Wrathion is purified. Seems like a waste otherwise.

If he’s corrupted, it happens during the raid. Otherwise, if he’s already corrupted when the raid starts, we purify him as he appears helping us during a different fight.

That’s my guess since he’s part of whatever is required to get the legendary cloak that was mentioned, unless we get a legendary before the raid even opens.

Azshara not being on the Boss list :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

She’s gonna escape and continue to be the unkillable cockroach she’s always been.

She’s part of another boss’s fight. She’s being tortured by some Inquisitor lady.

Stage 1: Hostile Takeover
Speak with Gazlowe at the dock.

Stage 2: Held Hostage
Rescue Hobart Grapplehammer.

Stage 3: Suiting Up!
Equip the X-52 Body Armor.

Stage 4: Taking Back The Town
Defeat Gallywix.

I believe in Gazlowe. Or something.

Dude was always more Horde than Steamwheedle, imo, so having him jump ship to Bilgewater is fine. Cartels seem more like organisations than cultures, so I doubt there’s any problems shifting from one cartel to the next.

Still, I might miss Gallywix.

Of course, this is all assuming Gazlowe takes the reigns. Maybe we’ll get Trade Prince Grapplehammer.

Wowhead is streaming their datamining live on Twitch if anyone is interested.

Droitte is probably crying tears of joy right now.

I wonder why she’s being tortured though? She freed N’zoth. Maybe she got on his nerves the last 10,000 years.

Figures. All the directions this could have gone and we get a one-patch Ny’alotha and N’zoth as a raid boss.

She also struck a bargain with Azshara… N’Zoth is likely not happy about this… N’Zoth wanted freedom not freedom at the expense of reality.

Of course considering how gentle he was until resurrecting her it is likely he only found out the truth at that exact moment. Her deal with Sylvanas was truly well hidden. N’Zoth thought he was giving the Blade of the Black Empire to Sylvanas to manipulate her not to aid her!

N’Zoth is angry and desperate to stop Death despite being free of his cell!

That’s the boss that N’Zoth gives those who resist his whispers to right? I would be more worried about Azshara if she was involved in N’Zoth’s fight but I’m reasonably sure they’re not going to kill her in the middle of some boss fight for some nobody raid boss.

Added a link to the raid and world boss encounter journal post.

As well as the AR, Goblin, and Worgen heritage armors

Wrathion helps fight N’zoth’s Carapace, so unless Wrathion is the final boss or we fight him between the two N’zoth fights, he gets purified.

Newly added and I refuse to double post because I have standards damnit!

Lots of interesting stuff. Those racials look pretty neat. Vulpera look like they’ll have some fun or useful ones for a change. After the Mag’har I’ve been worried Blizzard would be phoning it in with Horde racials.

Mechagnomes look pretty strong as far as racials go. That’s to be expected. Blizzard seems to be compensating for the Alliance’s core races’ lack of strong racials by handing the Alliance ARs decent ones.

Azshara confirmed canon Champion of Azeroth!
