Patch 3.2 changes the landscape of raiding in the most significant way since the release of Wrath of the Lich King itself. Not since the opening of Obsidian Sanctum has a single patch done so much to bring people up to the "current level" of raiding. While a new tier of gear badges will be hitting the ground, old Emblems are being upgraded to help people "catch up" to the current content.
Of course, that's not all. The very structure of raiding is being changed, with a lot of exciting changes to the very way we step into an instance to do battle with the bosses. You can go to The Argent Coliseum in a 5 man group, a 10 man raid, or a 25 man raid. You can extend your raid lockout, in case you need just a little longer to reach the boss. Heck, if there's an accident with loot, you can trade your items for up to an hour after the boss died. There's a lot to process, so take a look behind the cut and see what's changing.
The new raid for content patch 3.2 is the Argent Coliseum. Ad the story goes; you can't simply send thousands of people to fight Arthas. If you did such a thing, every time one of those fighters died, they would be reborn as an earlier enemy. As a result of the difficulty, Tirion Fordring has come up with a clever plan. He's going to hold a massive Coliseum. The finest survivors of this game will be the chosen few who go on to fight the Lich King
.
There are no trash mobs in the Coliseum; it is one of the most exciting changes to raid structure. Sure, trash purples are fun when they drop. But now your raiding experience is going to be smoother and more efficient than ever.
The Argent Coliseum has 6 versions The Coliseum is splitting out Heroics in 5, 10, and 25 man version, forever denying the WotLK-practiced saying of "Normal vs. Heroic" indicating a head count. You'll now face down against:
5 man Normal and 5 man Heroic
10 man Normal and 10 man Heroic
25 man Normal and 25 man Heroic
So, there's going to be six different versions of the Coliseum. That means if you're a "5-man player only," you're still included in this patch. All tiers of play are invited to the Coliseum. This guarantees the Arthas fight will have the same format, so that every player who wants to fight the guy, gets that chance.
