Just tried the wine cellar for the first time during AOW and my experience is that the dungeon is now way too . . . . . . easy. I loved the wine cellar during AOS because it made me nervous. Even with 2 level 20 RHTS it was not a sure thing and death was always a possibility. I just ran it with a level 20 Brute and Ritualist. I spent most the time getting to the end looking for chests and steel while letting the thralls clear the way. Thag was easier than before. We tripled teamed him at the start and he barely had any time to move before he teleported to the middle to ring the bell. The third time he rang the bell I broke off to deal with adds and thralls finished him off soon after. At no point did I feel in danger of getting killed. One thrall finished with full health the other was only missing 10%.

With that said, I want to say I just didn’t waltz into the wine cellar. I did a lot of prep with leveling and equipping thralls. I’m not going to post what I did since there is a plethora of good tips already in this thread. The Wine Cellar is dungeon that is no longer feared.
