Phase 5, BWL and ZG on Warcraft Logs
Phase 5 is about to start, and this article goes through all the details of how it will work on Warcraft Logs. Join us on Discord or email us at [email protected] with any feedback or questions.
Blackwing Lair
Difficulties
Like Molten Core, Blackwing Lair will have 3 difficulties in the dropdown. These will be named 'Normal', 'Heroic', and 'Mythic'. To be in the Mythic category, you must have at least the Black trial and two others enabled.
Normal: 0 Trials selected
Heroic: 1-2 trials, or 3-4 trials without Black
Mythic: 3+ trials with Black required
Sizes
With BWL allowing up to 40 players, we will have two size categories of 20 and 21-40 man. The 20 man difficulty will be default and shown on the front page.
Progress
For highest difficulty progress, you need to ensure you qualify for the Mythic category. As the 20 man size category will be the default, you will also need to be 20 or fewer players for the front page category.
All bosses need to be killed to get full progression.
Parsing Rules
The boss parsing rules for BWL are still being discussed. Join us on Discord if you have suggestions or feedback. There will be a recrawl as soon as possible with updated rules.
Speed
Join us on Discord to get involved in making the speedrun rules for Blackwing Lair.
Tanking Requirements
We're keeping the default tanking requirements for Blackwing Lair. Once we see the bosses, this can be adjusted on a boss-by-boss basis to detect tanks properly.
The current default tanking requirement requires both threat stance and tanking unless otherwise noted.
Intention to Tank: You must spend at least 10s in your threat stance, or use specific tank runes.
Actually Tanking: You must take the most basic attacks from bosses (melee attacks, or spam spells like Aquanis' Frostbolt), or at least 50% of the most anyone takes. You must take at least 5 total for it to count.
Join us on Discord in the #sod-spec-rules channel to discuss details.
Zul'Gurub
ZG will be treated like Onyxia. There are no difficulties, progress, or limits to raid size.
