All in all the raid seems very interesting, along with the encounters themselves. The armor sets to me are meh, except the mail one, that looks really cool. I just wish they didn't add the shard system, it just seems extra honestly, and just the raid alone, and maybe something with anima powers would of been enough. Similar to how 8.1 went to where they just added onto azurite, over creating a while new system to deal with. That more than likely will not carry over and comes off as a endgame system. Will be neat to see where garrosh goes, as sunstrider was sent to the venthyr home, curious if the same will be done to garrosh.

Comment by Morwo

tooltips written of shards of domination are outdated as well as the rune words blood, frost, unholy. the generated wowhead tooltip reflect the current while the written paragraph in guide does not.

Comment by Osborne1992

In regards to the raid skip as it still says it's speculation, it is indeed available once you kill the Tarragrue.

To the right of where Jaina's creating a portal to take you towards the Eye of the Jailer, you speak to Ebon Blade Acolyte who creates a secondary portal up to the ring room.

From here you can go to Guardian of the First Ones, Fatescribe Roh-Kalo or of course, Kul'Thuzad as his door is open now. Also, should you leave the instance to come back another day (as my guild did) be prepared to re-kill the trash around the edges. It does respawn as it's tied to the other two bosses in the area. If you can quickly kill Guardian or Fatescribe, might be worth so you have a clear path to Sylvanas on return trips. Granted, trash doesn't take long to kill anyway =P
