Raid Dungeon Puzzles

[AceofRains]

Hello everyone just wanted to share a thought I had about future raids being introduced, and wanted to know whats your preference on dungeons.

I understand that raids are being introduced with strategy in mind, but does that mean hack and slash while keeping healed, or will there be also small puzzles to solve through out the dungeon. I thought last night, an interesting concept would be if the dungeon branched off into two paths where the party of 4 or 8 would have to spit up and help each other get further into the dungeon. When they get to the final room, or certain points in the dungeon, the party comes together to fight bigger battles.

The pros: Elements of Strategy, more than just walking through a place, killing things.

The cons: Relying on people you can't see on the other side of the dungeon. This stresses communication.
