Is it just me, or is the new sunwell instance (even on normal) marginally harder than the other 70 instances?

3rd boss heroic has to be the most exciting fight. 5v5 arena team of elites ftw!

What are your thoughts on the new instance?
 
It is, yes. 3rd boss is the most difficult one :p

Last boss is a breeze if you know all his tricks :)
 
Kael is just a wimp :D

At least in heroic, he can 1shot you in you dont watch out
 
have only done it once so far! It aint harder than the other instances its just that CC is really important for this instance. It's piss easy if you have a mage and rogue.
 
And a decent Healer, But that goes for anything I guess. If the healers are there when you need them, and instance is a walk in the park. I personally dont think the 3rd fight is that hard either, Just a pain that pretty much need to clear everything around them, Just in case you pull aggro from another group. With no other mobs though, It really is fun.

What strat are most of you using for that fight? We usually target the Boss and burn her down as quick as we can, and then mop up the trash
 
Couldn't down third boss on heroic. I think you need a very specific layout for that fight, and top notch cc. It's also somewhat random which 4 adds you get. The more fears you have access to (warlock, priest, warrior) the easier you'll have it. We had no fears, and every time the hunters traps started breaking and rogues sap wore off, we'd wipe. You need cc tat can be reapplied in combat, and reliably. ie mages and locks. Rogues and hunters have a hard time.

Didnt get to see Kael on heroic as a result, but will possibly try again tonight with a proper group. Apparently he's really hard on resto shamans and paladins though. Priests are imba for that fight.
 
Both times i've done kael on heroic, our setup was druid tank, shaman elemental, hunter, lock, pally - had no problems

2nd boss seems to be harder atm, with the above setup

A Suprising lack of CC in that make up (Not sure how much u using Seduce). From what I've heard CC is king in MgT.
 
Did it normal first, was pretty easy with little tactics. Rogue and Elemental shammy managed to 2 man Kael down from 50%. He's really easy. On heroic the only hard boss was the 2nd one, took a while to work out the tactic. Otherwise the instance is easy, both heroic and normal. Well that's patch 2.4 done for me >.>

All fights are normal and straight forward. Appart from the 3rd boss, it's like an Arena 5 vs 5 fight. I would suggest a group has at least 2 CC for that fight or it can be rather hard :)
 
Did it on normal with no one having a clue on strategy (didn't bother to read any guides) with a Prot Paly, Prot warr, hunter, Druid and Holy Paly. Therefore not much cc to speak of. Tanks were well geared for instance lv but we found it quite hard 3 boss was a pain, and Kael until we knew what to do was also a bit tricky (but he is very easy). Paly Tank aggro owned the mobs though.

Would say harder than other instances, not tried heroic yet there are easy ways to get badges, hell they are even dropping outa the daily quest rewards!
 
With the 3rd boss, Try ignore the other mobs as much as you can. Since they jump from person to person you cant really keep aggro and they will attack anyone. Have each person in your group "pick" one that they will be going for.

If you can CC two of the mobs then its much easier, But Delrissa usually dispells. Priestess Delrissa is also the one that will heal everyone. Even if you have the Shaman with her, his heals are nothing compared to hers. Take her out as quick as you can, and the other mobs usually drop very quick afterwards. At least thats how we have been doing her, and its been pretty easy.
 
Yeah, I agree with Kal. If you're absolutely set on killing any of the adds first, have a fury warrior or shaman (someone with low cooldown interrupts) tank the priestess and make sure not to let her get a heal off. Makes it very easy...

Oooh thats a good idea. ^^

My team generally finds the 3rd boss hard. As a Lock I find myself OOM alot faster than most runs. :confused:
