Went on the PTR today and did some Zul Aman. It's pretty fun... and strikingly similar to ZG. Made it through the Bear boss. Took some Pics too. One is of the new mage food skill... it's extremely convenient. They made some changes to some set bonuses too and such. The bear boss is a very long fight. It takes 2 tanks alternating between his frequent shapeshifts between troll and bear form otherwise a debuff stacks rather high or something... i was just healing but that's what they did. He enrages at the end but it's a really straightforward fight. The pulls leading up to him can get tricky. The Medicine men are fully CCable (sheep, stunlock etc). There are mounted bear units that split at 30% and stack a nasty debuff that at the 4th (and max stack) doubles the damage you take. It seems to get resisted a lot though. It's a good raid though and we should get through it relatively quickly.

ZG was probably the most fun I've ever had raiding.  I have high hopes for ZA.

Will we have to spend time in the other 25 man raids prior to hitting up ZA?

Probably not. They say the first boss is about at The Prince's level of difficulty, which we have down.

The first boss is literally nothing more than tank and spank. He turns into a bear, tank and kill. He tosses a mangle up (our whatever increases bleed dmg) on the tank.
He turns into a troll than (TANK SWITCH) and starts stacking rend and (something else that bleeds) on the new tank. See obvious reason for tank transition.
Rinse lather and repeat for about 20 minutes (very long fight). We will most likely 1 shot this guy. He is reset-abletoo (run down the stairs)
