Thrall + Jaina help the champions™ during the second stage of the Sylvanas encounter according to the descriptions of the raid in the PTR Adventure Guide as is, trying to dig up the screenshot for you because I don’t have the PTR installed either
Anduin being absent implies to me that he’ll be a baddie for a bit longer and I quite like that, at least
Thrall I can kind of see being an important character to be present in the fight, as he allowed her in the Horde and probably wants to set things right again.
Jaina though? What are her personal stakes? If it was Garrosh as the boss sure I could see it, but it’s not like they interacted much from my recollection.
Stage Two: The Banshee Queen:
“What are we if not slaves to this torment?”
Sylvanas enters [Banshee Form], taking to the skies to waylay players’ persuit of the Jailer as he ascends. Thrall and Jaina lend their aid by casting [Call Earth] and [Channel Ice], respectively, but must be kept free from interruptions while doing so.
Yeah I agree, Thrall is a less weird inclusion
Kinda weird that Bolvar isn’t there tbh, the argument that it’s too dangerous doesn’t fly since he literally enters the Maw with us in 9.1
Best I can guess is that she’s still feeling weepy over not letting Varian murder Sylvanas (And Thrall) in the Undercity during Wrath. Even though we went through an entire vision quest to get her over that.
Ah, but this was actually revealed in a book no one read where he uuuuuh subdues a dragon to breed her and summons this massive five headed chromatic dragon and then he uuh dies? And is resurrected by Deathwing?
Oh and Blackmoore is there.
Yeah can’t really blame people for not catching that one.
