Icecrown Citadel (WoW Patch 3.3) is to be the largest instance to date, and it should feature 31 bosses for the next patch where you can meet The Lich King himself, former name Arthas Menethil. It is going to be very exciting.
Here is what Ghostcrawler WoW Community Manager told about Icecrown Citadel 31 Bosses:
Q u o t e:GC, you are basically saying you want tanking niches if you want groups to change their strategies and tactics depending on what tank is tanking.
But what’s not fine is if you have a tank (Warrior) that is either the worst or second worst at all aspects of tanking. How can you have tanking niches and maintain balance when you have this imbalance?
I don’t know that I would say we want tanking niches. I ultimately am agreeing with what you’re saying, but once we say “tanking niches” players have visions of the DK who parks outside of Icecrown until boss 4, 17 and 31 (yes, IC is that big).
I totally agree that no tank can be the worst at everything. What you have to remember though is that “everything” is generally defined as the current raid content. Coliseum isn’t a large raid. If there are 5 bosses and 4 tanks then it seems that even in the best case that someone might be “the best” on 2 of them and everyone else is “the best” on 1. (And honestly, we don’t design raid encounters with that goal in mind — they have enough constraints on them already.)
Again, the goal is “close enough” and the mushiness of that definition is intended. For some groups, having a tank that is “5% harder to heal” (whatever that means) is acceptable and perhaps not even detectable. We just need to avoid the extreme situation where the guild that feels gimp because their MT is a paladin (or whatever) and paladins have a lot of liabilities on the current raid content to the extent where that player is getting replaced on more than just a couple of fights. (And I should add by knowledgeable raid leadership, and not just the Naxx pug guy that read on the forums that bears are the best tank and so only accepts bears.)
History of Icecrown Citadel
Icecrown Citadel in Northrend sits atop the largest glacier on Azeroth, Icecrown Glacier in Icecrown. It is here that Ner’zhul – transformed into the Lich King – was cast into the world of Azeroth. Recently, the Scourge has created this massive fortress, surrounding the Frozen Throne that lies hidden underneath. In a later patch, it might be the pinnacle of the Wrath of the Lich King raid instances.
