Also: Rogues with Axes? Axes are not subtle!

Q u o t e:
you do know that just because there are 4 lockouts it doesn't mean you have to do all of them every single week right?

---

---

Q u o t e:


Oh of course. I never had that fear. I'm just curious why there are 4 lockouts at all when the old system accomplishes the same thing.

Q u o t e:


who knows? i don't really care... it doesn't affect me, i'll still only do 25 man regularly, with maybe a few 10 mans every few weeks...

Q u o t e:
Uldar 10 had gear a higher ilvl than Naxx 25. If the pattern holds true Coliseum 10 NORMAL will have an ilvl higher than or the same as Uldar 25 non hard mode. Therefore it's quite possible that 25 man raid groups would find items in 10 man normal Coliseum desirable (maybe not BiS but still good enough to warrant a raid a week on it.

Also if Coliseum 10 man Heroic and 25 man Heroic are normalized in terms of gear (not sure why it shouldn't be since the difficulties are supposed to be similar) then top end guilds would have to run both Heroic even after the normal versions were exhausted.

Players should have to choose heroic or normal and have the lockout cover both. Only reason why it's not being done is Blizzard is hoping that guild players pug normal modes for extra badges / rare drop loot and thereby carrying the bad players recently gifted conquest badge gear.

Q u o t e:
Firstly, the Crusaders' Coliseum is quite a bit different from Ulduar. Beyond that though, we want raiders to have more options for approaching content. Sometimes it can be a bit daunting to decide as a group, "do we want to try these hard modes and risk a long night of little progress, or just push through on normal mode?" Whatever choice you make pretty much decides your progression for the week.

Now, you can take a night and go through 10 or 25-player versions of the Crusaders' Coliseum without worrying about having to decide whether or not to attempt the hard mode on a particular boss. Instead a separate 10 or 25-player raid can be scheduled where the sole focus can be on Heroic mode.

Before the raid even begins you can choose your difficulty, and choosing one difficulty won't mean you're shut out from attempting the alternative difficulty that same week, just as 10 and 25-player modes have been on separate lock-outs in Naxxramas and Ulduar.
