They ran out of melee range so KS would only attack the leg.

On Garalon that is the case.

using KS on the front legs is more beneficial because 100% of the KS Damge will be partially copied by Blade Flurry.
while using KS on the rear legs I experienced about 20% of my KS hits being partially copied.

I think this is due to the front legs being closer to the body than the rear legs.

However, on the front legs you have to be very cautious, using KS while being a little too close will teleport you into the purple circle. The rear legs are more position friendly regarding that.


Back to KS: My Raidgroup pulls Blade Lord Takaya (2nd Boss) right from the start into one side of the room, which means the boss will run for about 5 seconds. While he is running, my char will automatically catch up with him while he is still running.

So the targets of KS might be determined on the press of the button, but the overall range of KS in terms of following a target might not be limited.

Where do you need to be positioned exactly to avoid triggering a crush w/ KS ?

Imagine a line going through the Center of the purple circle to the circle of the leg you are targeting.
Now extend that line outwards, follow that line to max KS range, voila, you can safely KS

The shadow blades bug has been fixed. I tested autoattacks, mutilate, killing spree, and FoK, and all proc poisons under shadow blades.

Glyph of Deadly Momentum does not work on the adds in Will of the Emperor.

At Sha of Fear you can cleave adds if theyre close, and you can cleave from adds to Sha if theyre somewhat close, since he got a pretty big hitbox.

Also youre immune to the dreadspray fear while casting killing spree, not sure if it gives immunity to the damage.

The statement that you can use CoS in the Elegon HC encounter to soak is wrong. Logs show I cloaked in the same second as Total Annihilation (0.31 of a second later so well within the 0.5). This is a "cloak immune" (within 0.5 seconds of CoS cast) situation if ever there was one - and it obviously didn't work. See below from logs:

So i think we might want to take another look at the use of Cloak in this encounter.........and I am prompted to ask the obvious: does Feint work on Heroic to soak?! Assuming it does I guess that would be an easy way to manage the soak, especially glyphed. Perhaps stupidly I relied on the information at the start of this post to just cloak instead.

Moral of story: don't try soak with Cloak on Elegon HC and consider amending the statement that you can cloak immune this.

You can in fact cloak immune it. But you have to cloak before the cast begins. Meaning you need to anticipate the cast pretty precisely to pull it off (cloak is 5 seconds, the cast is 4 seconds. You have a 1 second window). Feint is a much safer option.

This would be a change in what we understand to be "immune cloaking" something, since it meant to use the initial few .x seconds of cloak that would provide full immunity to basically every spell there is. This has been drastically changed in MoP together with the amount of debuffs cloak removes at all (there is a few that are dispellable but still won't be removed by cloak) and the old 'way' of "immune-cloaking" certainly doesn't work on Elegon HC. What you describe would imply that the part of cloak that made us avoid spells completely has been put into the last few .x seconds of cloak, and unless you can provide a log showcasing the scenario I find that somewhat hard to believe.

As far as feinting goes: It works, as does elusiveness, which is highly recommended on the fight. With a disc priest PW:S you don't even drop below 90% and can continue DPSing right away. Also, dont forget that you only have to stand outside when the annihilation cast finished, so wait inside as to not get hit by the pulses beforehand, and step outside a second before the cast finishes.

Regarding Killing-Spree on Sha of Fear, it avoids the fear-part of the spell, but you will still take full (and most likely lethal) damage from it. You can feint before KSing though, as to minimize the amount of damage you receive.
What I noticed on this fight is, that shadowstepping inside the "safezone" won't grant the immunity to the breath for sure, sometimes I wouldn't get hit, sometimes I would, so I'd recommend walking inside and using shadowstep to get behind the boss asap and not the other way around.

Early during my heroic Elegon progression, i learnt that cloak does NOT work to soak.
Tested it multiple ways.
1) Cloaking before the cast ~2s is over.
2) Cloaking right before the cast goes off >1s

Instantly removes all existing harmful spell effects, provides a brief moment of immunity against magical damage and harmful effects, and then causes you to resist all spells for 5 sec. Does not remove effects that prevent you from using Cloak of Shadows. - Tooltip of Cloak of Shadows.

IIRC "cloak immuning" means utilizing the immunity part of the cloak, which is about 1s of it to prevent certain spells from doing anything to you. The timing as to when you use cloak has to be precise, if not it will not work.

I haven't noticed any spells that can be cloak immuned in MoP, and IIRC there's was only 1 or 2 encounters is back in cata that cloak immune was useful.
