Emerald Nightmare

          Finally some hard content! And you know, I'm not talking about raids.  I'm talking about Mythic+ dungeons. But lets look on the raid first - Emerald Nightmare.
          First tier obviuosly must be easy, but I suppose Blizzard oversimplified EN. I believe, problem is the gear which was so easy to get. It actually wasnt that difficult to achieve 850+ ilvl, but raids were tuned for much lower ilvl, so casual people wont complain about difficulty. Only last boss provided some challenge. So here it is:
          1) Nythendra - 9th try, 4/10 - not as easy as Kargath once was, but still quite easy. Watch for explosive insects on the floor - this was our main source of wipes.


          2) Il'gynoth - 8th try, 3/10 - this will be a pain in Mythic definitely. Another a-lot-of-tentacles guy.


          3) Ursoc - 9th try 4/10 - Butcher\Patchwerk of Legion.


          4) Dragons of Nightmare - 3th try, 2/10 - very easy, this should be the first boss, not Nythendra. I think Blizzard undertuned this boss in the fear of people might get confused over amount of dragons.


          5) Elerethe Renferal - 20th try, 5\10 - first difficult boss, amount of things you have to watch for is a bit overwhelming - poison pools, spiders, tornadoes. And after all the flies to another platform and people miss the web and fall into abyss :) On our second kill this will be easier, I bet, but for now it is difficult.
          6) Cenarius - 25th try, 6\10 - another difficult boss. You have to work out your own tactic.


          7) Xavius - 5th try, 5\10 - surprisingly easy for the last boss. No idea why, but Blizzard really undertuned this one. Nowhere near as Imperator Mar'Gok once was.


          Overall I'm quite happy with this new raid, especially environments - looks really beautiful - corrupted Mulgore, corrupted Un'Goro, but the best of all is corrupted Moonglade - this is really awesome! Looks like a vortex with Cenarius in the middle. Though the last boss is the real disappointment - even the location you fight with him is so dull - I wonder who even made such blank space? What is the fun? At least after his defeat you may see something beautiful again - the real Emerald Dream, I wanted to see it since Vanilla :) Marvellous!
