Anyone fight Skeram recently? It was weird tonight... for every single split all three spawned on the same side and immediately one-shotted a tank.

I used to have a huge image here, but then it got removed and now I\'ve developed chronic depression and suicidal tendencies. /wrists

Yah our raid had it happen like 3 times, and he also mind controlled people during his teleports.
Apparently right now he's doing the 75/50/25 split wherever he's brought down to that level, instead of teleporting first.

All 3 popped on one side, and 2 would earth shock the tanks.

AOE taunting sometimes fixed this.

Either way, it was pretty lame.

Oh, and it appears Yauj is healing from the get go now.

Seems like they've fucked with the Blackwing Technician AI as well.

Death Talon Wyrmguards have also learned to jump floors.

I'm very curious as to what the changes in BWL are, too. I wish we could reschedule BWL, our progress has been hindered so much by emergency maintenance and patches already. :(

The annubisaths between Huhuran and the Twin Emps now aggro the whole zone. So, if your guild (admittedly like mine) has been in the habit of using hunters to pull the annubisaths and choosing the easiest one or two combinations, you're going you have to start learning the other combinations quickly! The anti-graveyard rushing mechanisms are in place, too, so people can't zone into the instance while an annubisath is aggroed. This is significant, because that means you can't log out, check the type of annubisath, and then log back in if it's a good combination. If you try that, you'll just pop out in front of the zonein.

The Blackwing Technicians have learned the meaning of "LOS" and now no longer throw grenades at walls, and the Death Talon Wyrmguards, while being kited by one of our hunters, jumped from one floor to the lower floor when our hunter did.

Weird behavior. I can also confirm the Flamegor thing.

You mean we're going to have to teach our hunters not to suck now? Boo to that.

It's always a pleasure to watch team Hunter squirm about actually dieing in a pull.

The Skeram issue sounds like a recurrance of the same bug when it was on test.

It was the same on U.S. servers. The whole raid would get put into combat but when the hunter who pulled feigned death, the whole raid would be out of combat again. (which is no longer possible in 1.11)

Read what Bullbrain said, people DID get into combat - everyone. However, when the hunter FD'ed the entire raid was removed from combat again. Odd mechanics at work. Just trying to explain to you that your observation of everyone getting into combat is correct, however hunter FD'ing removed you all from combat again.

I don't think they're quite like bosses, they would put everyone on their hate list and in combat - I don't think the anubisath defenders did that, they just put everyone into combat and the hunter could remove himself from the hate list. Then the odd thing happens, everyone is in combat but the defender has no one on his hate list and the result of that was that it exited combat together with everyone else.

That's my theory, guess they just forgot one step of their usual FD prevention on the defenders :-)

Just checking. It's possible that the amount of healing was changed, too, and I want to know what we're going to get into tonight. We would've taken the family on last night after clearing to Huhuran, but Tichondrius started taking repeated dirt naps at around 8:30, so we had to call off the run.

Yeah, the changes to Yauj are as follows:

Heal has roomwide range
Casts it whenever its cooled down.
Very obvious casting animation.



Because of the new animation, I found this fight to be easier than before.

My Steam Profile (Aether) Cherish the difference between 58° and 59°.
