wish that we could finally kill her off but sadly it's pretty clear she's going to pull some redemption BS or something.

I love this new era of boss design where you deal with long winded rp for two phases and then the actual fight starts at phase 3, really great way to make one fight take 3 times as long.

Man! so many people on her side though across the web its so stupid "...oh but she was defending her country when she died! and it was a horrible death" sure that excuses everything ...

It's just amazing to me that Jaina and Thrall have not yet mastered the art of making a straight path with their powers.
