The nasty trash is the first stuff you encounter upon entering the instance. Knockbacks and abilities that scale with your level, a lot like some of the Sunwell trash.

Ew, I hate the trash in Sunwell. Though I think AQ40 has the worst trash of any raid in the history of WoW.

I'd love to see Illidan come back, but at the same time I kinda don't. I love him, don't get me wrong, but him being brought back makes me twitch a tad. I mean sure it can be a totally epic event and make sense that he's brought back/reappears (because hey, we see him get killed but who's to say he wasn't just mangled badly? I don't remember Maiev ever beheading him so for all we know she mistook him for dead then dumped his body somewhere to rot? Illidan is a resilient bugger, and who knows maybe he still had a few tricks up his sleeve.) but at the same time there's still the potential for it to be completely random and not make sense at all.
I'd rather have him stay dead if it meant that he wouldn't suddenly pop up and go 'lol hai guys!' and proceed to break any bit of lore or content he touched.

Also wanna letcha know....Maiev went bonkers. She tried to kill Malfurion. Pretty sure if Illidan is alive.....he'll be pissed to find that out. Epic Illidan VS Maiev fight!
Your last line just had me imagine Illidan with a trollface.
We need someone to make a picture of that!

Stop me if someone already said it, but could Illidan coming back + Hero Classes = Demon Hunter class in the future?

Yesss, Black Temple round two! Oh if only we could see it before Mists of Pandaria comes out and we actually get to do it...I would melee Maiev in the face, and it will be so worth it. I'm already gonna do that to Azshara. Actually...I'd rather have it as a book. Because then I could read it over and over and over and constantly giggle over Maiev getting pwn'd because we know she will.
I'd love to roll a demon hunter as well...though in my mind my main hunter already has a vendetta against satyr so it's not like she isn't going out of her way to deal with them anyways. But still. Would be fun to see how blizz would pull them off. I can see them as melee dps at least, perhaps ranged and as a tank depending on how the class is made.
And if I could actually draw something that looked decent right now (curse you artist block! Stop making stuff look wonky. Let me draw!) I would so do it. That mental image is almost too good to pass up.

Illidan's death sequence made it pretty obvious what'll happen... Maiev, feeling completely empty and purposeless, will seek to resurrect him. So she can chase and kill him again

Over and over and over...

I was always sympathetic to Maiev until the events of Wolfheart. She's just not sane anymore.

I was never sympathetic. She was nuts before now. Tyrande set Illidan free and Furion ended up going with it. Maiev wasn't ordered to hunt Illidan down.

I'd love to see Illidan make a re-appearance in the next X-Pac. Esp if they are going to revamp the old level 70 legendary Warglaives (I have them on my warrior after 3 years of farming /cheer) however, they should not remove the instance, but instead make it a sepperate instance. I hate the idea of them removing MORE content then they already have. ZG/ZA is gone and revamped to the crappy level 85 version. And considering how hard it is if you dont have the right group-set up then you can be in there for hours (Me being a level 85 Protadin 366 Tank in 359+ Raid Gear) sucks if you are bringing a 346 or lower player through the instance. If they are going to bring Illidan back, he should have some mechanics from the level 70 version. Of course improved, he should have a slightly different model (Example: 60BWL Nef and 85BWD Nef) of course not that dramatic and revamped loot, so the Cursed Vision , Warglaives, Shard of Azzinoth, Bulwark Azzinoth, etc all should be there.

Whats the trash like in there? I've heard his boss mechanics make people wanna rage. Isnt it like you fight his 3 minions then him then fight all four of them at once? Or...something like that?
*snort* I've had level 85s wipe on Sunwell....fighting M'uru. Don't underestimate the power of some peoples stupidity. XD They will find ways to make you go "....wow...just.....wow....
Lol wow they died on M’uru? xD Its not uncommon for me to see lvl 85s wipe on felmysts or possibly kalecgos… Or the twins… But not M’uru… yet. I love sunwell though its such an awesome place and I love the bosses. (feel so sorry for kalecgos and his girl though )
The TK boss fight is an annoyance. I run it every week with the guild. The boss phases are something like this….
1: endure a long speech (careful not to wipe of extreme boredom)
2 kill off the 4 advisors one by one
3 kill all the weapons
4 kill all the advisors again at the same time
5 burn kale down (he likes to mind control lots of ppl at this point)
6 watch him go stiff and float around the room before he comes down for the last nerdrage then dies (..or does he? Dun dun dun. Please proceed to MGT for next long speech)
Takes forever! xD guild almost wiped once Because he kept mind controlling all the 85s and making them kill each other off. We downed him with a hunter and a priest left and the hunter almost died.
/re-rails post
I hope Maiev will be a boss soon. Its going to be rather hard to melee her face without hunter melee weps… but I will find a way if it kills me. She’s quite nuts and I really hope we get to see Illidan teaching us to be demon hunters

(so long as it is a reasonable comeback.)
I mean sure it can be a totally epic event and make sense that he's brought back/reappears (because hey, we see him get killed but who's to say he wasn't just mangled badly?

^ true. Lets also keep in mind that kale came back after his raid death. we also killed Ony at lvl 60, skinned her, lopped off her head and she still came back at lvl 80. Skinned her again, took her phat lewts, turned in her head and set it on display and that didn’t stop her from coming back at lvl 85 >_____________> Same with Nef. I kill him for gear every week, someone loots the head, turns it in, then runs off to join their guild BWD run
