Temple of Ahn'Qiraj
Difficulties
AQ will have two difficulties. These will be named 'Normal' and 'Heroic', and rely on hardmodes being activated.
Normal: No Hardmodes activated
Heroic: Hardmodes activated
Sizes
With AQ allowing up to 40 players, we will have two size categories of 20 and 21-40 man. The 20 man difficulty will be default and shown on the front page.
Progress
For the highest difficulty progress, you must ensure you qualify for the Heroic category by enabling Hardmodes. As the 20 man size category will be the default, you will also need to be 20 or fewer players in combat for the front page category.
A summoning squad is allowed, but please note if you pull a boss with more than 20 players in the raid instance, that will dump info on every character and count as a 40 man size kill.
All bosses need to be killed to get full progression.
Parsing Rules
The boss parsing rules for AQ are still being discussed. Join us on Discord if you have suggestions or feedback. There will be a recrawl as soon as possible with updated rules.
Speed

Tanking Requirements
We're keeping the default tanking requirements for Ahn'Qiraj too. Once we see the bosses, this can be adjusted on a boss-by-boss basis to detect tanks properly.
The current default tanking requirement requires both threat stance and tanking unless otherwise noted.
Intention to Tank: You must spend at least 10s in your threat stance, or use specific tank runes.
Actually Tanking: You must take the most basic attacks from bosses (melee attacks, or spam spells like Aquanis' Frostbolt), or at least 50% of the most anyone takes. You must take at least 5 total for it to count.
Join us on Discord in the #sod-spec-rules channel to discuss details.
