- 10-Man and 25-Man raids will share the same lockout.
- 10-Man and 25-Man raids difficulty will be as close as possible to each other.
- 10-Man and 25-Man raids will drop the exact same loot, but 25-man will drop a higher quantity of items.
- Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel
- For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid.

Napoleann via emailI think that these changes are bad and good at the same time. It is good that, by doing a 10-man, I will be getting the same gear as I would be if I was in a 25-man. However, I think that these changes effectively kill 25-man raiding because, besides an achievement, there is no incentive to do a 25 instead of 10-man. Why would I choose to wait for 15 extra people when I can do the same thing, and get the same rewards, with ten? I guess we will all have to wait and see how this change actually plays out, but I can’t see it turning out well for 25-man raiding.
- blue post: we might allow you to change between 10 and 25 on a per-encounter basis for additional flexibility. If you started a raid in 25-player mode and then found that you couldn’t get everyone together later in the week, you might be able to downsize the next few bosses to 10-player.

Ghostcrawler Response To The New Old Spells of Cataclysm
We change our minds sometimes, like about letting Charge work in combat for example.
In fact, one of the reasons we changed our minds about Heroic Leap (and Camo, and Trap Launcher) were so many players that were sad about seeing those abilities not make it in LK.

I think that life grip is like the T10 set bonus for priests. Tons of people who didn’t even acquire the gear or try it out cried about how lame it was while the people who actually gave it a try ended up getting really upset when the bonus was changed because it was actually a lot stronger than it looked. I really hope that people get to see this in action and try it out in beta before trying to get it removed and changed.
