Update #2: Class Q&A Series: Druid

Update: Testing is now over. Join us on irc at irc.quakenet.org #worldofraids or use our webchat to discuss the encounter!

25-player Loot

Well that didn't take long. Loot:

Abilities

Note: Not going to bother adding achievements for this encounter yet since they've changed every single build.

Anub'arak (?) is back, as he's been resurrected by the Lich King. Prior to this encounter taking place, it seems that Arthas will appear in the arena. The explanation for why the floor is broken makes sense now; he likely thrusts Frostmourne into the ground -- shattering it -- and causing players to fall through into the cavern below.

Anub'arak will likely spawn Nerubian Burrower and Nerubian Ice Darter during the encounter. You can probably expect that killing ice darters will spawn Permafrost. He will also spawn Swarm Scarabs while submerged, based on the audio files.

Abilities
Leeching Swarm
Releases a swarm of insects that attack the caster's enemies, leeching 20% of each target's current health every 1 sec. A minimum of 500 health will be leeched. This effect is reduced when your health is low. Anub'arak casts this when he reaches 30% health. 3 minute duration on Leeching Swarm.
Nerubian Burrower
Spawns a Nerubian Burrower add.
Nerubian Ice Darter
Spawns a Nerubian Ice Darter add.
Permafrost
Freezes the ground in a small area, preventing most creatures from burrowing through it and reducing movement speed over the area by 80%.
Pursued by Anub'arak
Anub'arak is pursuing you.
Pursuing Spikes
Fires a spike through the floor, impaling all targets within 4 yards, dealing 2828 to 3172 damage and knocking them up in the air. This attack ignores armor. Triggers Impale every 1 sec. for 9 sec. Likely targeted at the person pursued by Anub'arak.
Submerge
Burrow into the ground. Cannot be cast on Permafrost.
Summon Scarab
Triggers Summon Scarab every 4 sec. for 1 minute.

Trial of the Crusader - PTR Testing (July 14)

Quote from: Daelo (Source)

The final boss for the Trial of the Crusader is now available for testing on the North American PTRs. Pardon the last minute announcement of this, we're still having some technical difficulties on the North American PTRs and we weren't sure if this testing was going to be available.

Tbh doesnt blizzard get payed enough to try out their own encounters anymore? Do they have to ruin the whole instance by putting the last boss of the next raid instance up for a test? It doesnt make any sense to me. It totally ruins the entire part of letting guilds compete for kills. Getting world firsts and what not.

I'm really surprised and a bit disappointed to see a final boss on the PTR.

Romours were that blizz had an internal raiding team to test the encounter back in the days. I guess after we saw lots of bugged bosses, they decided to test in public to find more bugs, expoits.
I dont like Bosses being spoiled on PTR. But whoever likes it, have fun!

Its a little strange even so. With the shear amount of ppl working for blizzard they should be able to internally get atleast 1 25 man raid. Be it at Off hours or what ever. It takes away lots of the fun doing the tests openly, especially Anub'arak being the last boss of the instance! :S

Looking at it from their point of view tho i guess they save lots and lots of money doing so.

They do have a internal team but letting the public test it adds a ton more variables that the internal team may not be able to cover. The instance is only 5 bosses, relatively short and more of a filler raid so I am not surprised they are testing it all.

Why would we want to end the rivalry? competition is fun! You just want some non-EU guild to get more world firsts ;)

its just that it gets annoying when you go to a forum about a world first and half of the posts are "EU SUCKS (insert very american picture here)" and then "HAHA US CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT"

they are just at eachothers throats all the time

I'm really disappointed for the whole instance, I was hoping for Zul again, or at least an interesting raid. not a lame dungeon with 5 bosses
