Anything new in this dungeon compared to others?
One last question, do you, or anyone know if the gear in here is T2 or T2.5?
Thank you and grats -
Can't wait for the video.

And how many bosses are there?
Developpers made an awesome job this time. Regarding the dungeon in general there are way few adds, they are stronger and each type of add has his own type of spell (Almost all of them 1shot you
if you don't die too much it takes about 45 minutes /1h to clear it
Sounds great - so glad the mechanics are different!

Sounds nice, can't wait.
What about the difficulty?
can cw knock back everything and instant kill?
any new gear drops there or only seals for new sets?
about new gear drops no idea coz bosses atm dont drop anything and from chest u get a CN weap/offhand (so far as cleric i got a gf offhand from chest Lol)
and about seals no idea aswell
u can read about drops here :
and here a ss of in-game info about dungeon:
It says seals of the drake but maybe its a mistake
Like I said before mobs are few and strong and there aren't any spot for CW to knock them back. Regarding the difficulty you just need to be coordinate, try to cc adds (Smoke bomb/singularity helped us alot) and just avoid every single AoE. The first boss is very simple (we cleared him with 4 ppl) he just spawn few adds, and have low HP. By reaching Malabog (3rd boss if we take count of the council that are a skippable boss) thing start to get more serious, our strategy for kill him easily was to let GWF take the aggro of the boss as he have a very annoying melee swing combo, this will make TR job easier. Meanwhile the GF and Mage focused on the adds, controlling and killing them. Each 25% the boss enter in an immune phase for 3/4 second letting us kill mobs faster. During the entire fight Fulminorax will throw lightening ball in the boss room, that are easily avoidable. Killed Malabog you will need to kill like 10/15 mobs before reaching the final boos room and fight against Fulminorax and Valindra. Like I said in my other post this fight involve new mechanics that I've already explained. By the way the key for defeat them it's just the coordination between party member(DC really helped us calling when Valindra left her zone and also her strangulate target) and the abilty to manage with speels. For sum this up, the whole dungeon is not hard, just be prepared to fight against alot of mimic if you have greedy mates in party :P
At least Cryptic listened and gave us less adds to deal with, along with a half-decent boss mechanic. Still, it sounds like this place will be on farm status for good guilds and geared players within the first week it releases.

We hope you like it!
But on damage side is a bit broken for us at the moment. You can't apply chill stacks on the boss... in my build this is 28% less damage ;( Also SW set bonus has new bug's and I can't apply the buff for the party at all!
Well the Mage is full equip with rank 7/8 gems and perfect vorpal while the gwf had vigilant warlord set(5% Damage reduction and 40% mov. speed on crit) with rank 5 and lesser enchtment.
Regarding the utility as I said GWF was really helpfull on Malabog's Fight and CW was really usefull at the beginning of the istance where you have to fight a group a 4/5 strong mobs that withous his CC were hard to kill, same for adds on first and second bosses.
That's not entirely true. I have played with good GWF's and they do as much as CW's!
But for this dungeon run... the damage meters are not real
You do not use any keys for there
Looks like the same fight as CN but without the adds. Pushing adds around is what makes CN fun, dodging red circles and getting one shot is not fun.
