I'm pretty much counting on the demons between Twins and M'uru to have a good droprate to reward the real Sunwell progression guilds. I could understand a low rate on the Kalecgos-Brutallus trash since anyone can go farm that, but I'm going to be really disappointed if we end up clearing to M'uru and having nothing but a Sunmote to show for it. I understand how good some of these items are and how you probably don't want patterns and Sunmotes flooding the AH, but the other extreme basically devalues the professions. I mean the idea is supposed to be that while an enchanter gets free +dam, +heal, or +stats on top of his normal gear, a smith or a tailor gets a single best-in-slot item instead. But if we end up clearing the zone and our crafters still haven't seen any patterns drop, that sort of defeats the purpose of the whole idea.

Definitely a fun fight. Reminds me of Vael where there was just so much stuff going on. I had to redo my UI a little bit since I was consistently noticing the conflag too late.

Only thing that sucks is eating a shadow fury when you get conflagged and wiping the raid. 8( "No serious guys, not my fault this time!?"

Obviously there are a lot of ways to do the fight, but positioning such that this isn't possible is a good idea IMO.

It's always possible for someone -- especially in p2. But yeah, that particular combination is probably the only true RNG wipe that the fight can inflict. You can greatly limit the odds of it happening, but it's still possible somewhere.

Oh neat, so I'm off the hook for all those times I blew us up? 'Cause that's what I'm hearing.

Feel free to delete if this infringes too much on strategy, but it's entirely possible to trinket the shadowfury, keep moving, and call out on vent that you're eating duration. It's better than conflag bombing the raid, anyways.

Here's hoping the fight isn't nerfed too soon, it's one of the most entertaining encounters created in a while.

Yeah, you can also Living Action out of it if you don't want to use a trinket. Still, it can be a pain.

Apparently it's the combat log causing the frame break up, anytime your raid takes massive AE damage(You should notice it during Illidan's Flame Strike as well).

Grats on the kill EJ.

Though quite late, crongrats on the boss kill.
