I really want to know what a turn is

Ill explain on how this works in wow.

Ice crown had a number of bosses. Once you killed one you moved onto the next until eventually you got to the lich king and killed him. There were no floors or turns so I am trying to wrap my head about how this is working. If you mean that there are separate instances sections for each boss then that makes more sense.

Each Turn would be synonymous with a Wing in a Warcraft raid. They include one boss and sometimes some trash mobs. In fact, how SE has everything split up would be much more comparable to how Blizzard divvies up a raid when they put it in Raid Finder instead of trying to visualize it as one entire raid.

I don't know why they settled on the term "Turn". It could be referencing the spiral shape of an actual coil (you make one full "turn" as you go up or down each "floor"), though I don't think we've ever been made privy to the actual shape of the entire facility in any of the Binding Coils. It could just be SE's habit of giving things weird names.

Just like in Alexander you're only progressing up the construct's arm and then into its torso which would mean the areas should probably be called chambers or corridors instead of floors. And yet the official term from SE is "floor".

Edit: Ah yes, just like this.

They simply called them Turns for Binding Coil because in a coil, each spinny thing is called a turn. More decent description:

"Turns" refers to the winding number of an electrical conductor comprising an inductor.



Turns.
