wow Amirdrassil Raid Layout and Boss Order

[Stan 4,866]

Here's the layout for Amirdrassil the Dream's Hope raid opening on November 14. Check it out if you're interested in learning about boss order, trash in between the bosses, and the raid skip!

Amirdrassil Boss Order

The 10.2 raid contains 9 bosses. At the beginning of the raid, there's some trash before you face Gnarloot, the raid's first boss. Kill 1 pack and you will get to Igira, the second raid boss.

Now, your raid has 2 options. You can either go kill Volcoross and Larodar or proceed with the Council of Dreams and Nymue.

There's a fair amount of trash leading to both Volcorros and Council, but only a handful of packs between Volcoross > Larodar and just 1 pack between Council > Nymue.

Your raid must clear both wings to reach Smolderon. At this point, there are no trash mobs and the boss order is linear. 

Smolderon > Tindral Sageswift > Fyrakk

Here's also a visual representation of the layout from Reddit.

Amirdrassil Raid Skip

A raid quest must be completed to unlock the Amirdrassil raid skip. First, you must defeat Smolderon on the same difficulty 3 times to loot 3 Fragment of Emberscar. After the quest is done, your raid can skip from Igira straight to Tindral Sageswift.

Respect the fact it looks like they're toning down the amount of trash in the raids, it's a start.

Still not enough to justify going hard on Raiding when mythic + exists but i'll take a W from Blizzard where I can

A bit of trash isnt that bad. You can do breaks without doing breaks while clearing it.

I don't think it was that bad. I personally like the little 5-10 minutes downtime inbetween fights. I think the most trash in Aberrus was between the first boss and the Assault boss, and even that was mostly fun by pulling multiple packs and have fun with your cooldowns for a minute. Besides, for trash drops to exist there has to be at least some trash mobs.

They definitely had parts with too many trash in the past, but I like it how it is right now. If they remove any more they might as well put no trash at all in there.

Don't get me wrong, trash is not the main problem with wasting time raiding. It's like 3rd or 4th on the list and Aberrus wasn't terrible for it besides where you mention and the experiment wing

The other time wasting annoyances of raiding are:

1. Not spawning in front of the boss

2. Not having a summon stone outside of every boss arena

3. Trash mobs

4. Not having cooldowns auto reset on pull

Fixing these problems would make less people leave and would just make raiding more bearable as a whole.
