Ready Check: WoW Insider's Guide to Throne of Four Winds

In the first encounter, the Conclave of Wind, you must split your raid into three parts. There are three bosses on three different platforms. Your team must be able to move across the platforms in a coordinated way and react to what the bosses are doing. Movement of this kind can be very disorienting for a raid, so folks who aren't comfortable with the dance steps could have some trouble.
The second encounter is against Al'Akir. It's a three-phase fight and ends in three-dimensional space. Interestingly, Al'Akir combines the "fire wall" mechanic from Sartharion as well as the "fly around" mechanic from Malygos. Again, if you had trouble with those fights, you'll probably be challenged here also. That being said, Al'Akir is a pretty fun and engaging encounter.

In this comment, I will claim that the aforementioned content is too easy, yet will provide no proof that I've ever conquered it.

In my reply I will demand proof while decrying the difficulty of the encounters and the unfortunate necessity to Not Stand In Bad Things in order to defeat them.

In this reply I shall claim that my guild has defeated all the current raiding content while only wearing level 14 greens and go on to say that because of this I am cancelling my subscription.
All of this of course written with terrible spelling.

My reply shall consist of an explanation that I am a casual player, with much less time to put into the game, yet I believe that I should be able to experience this content.
And then I will realize that I've just died due to Standing In Fire in the dungeon run that I am alt-tabbed out of.

I will proceed to berate the third poster's spelling and grammar, all while ironically making numerous obvious spelling and grammar mistakes in the process.

I will proceed to make a non-sequitur statement about how a certain class/player type/age group ruined my experience in this raid, and how they therefore are of questionable intelligence.
I also will imply that I had sexual interactions with their parental unit, and will see flaming response and most likely be black-box'd.

I haven't started raiding yet, but these guides help

Like Malygos, eh?
Well.
Very hard not to pre-judge, here. I didn't really like the Malygos fight. I'll just have to try this one (when it's time) and see.
They have to make something for different tastes, so, i guess it's a good thing they have one raid like this in the new stuff.

Both quite funny fights that demands more "brains" then gear then usual, making it a great start for guilds. On heroic tho, heh, my 10-man guild are gonna wait.
