If you can't handle it with the sacks...maybe you should just give up on raiding t8, maybe go back and try to take on eof with 10 more lvls. That might give you a challenge more on par for your abilities.

Wow, where this come from. IDK what you are talking about. That is not my guild chat, how does that prove anything?

Also, all I know is I had MA make a /target a Digestive Sac macro and things started dieing. Took us 2hrs and 4-5 pulls this time around on the name. We spent 2 other weeks on this mob also.

Also werent these considered exploits then turned into strat when others used them? What makes this(Thugaa) fight much different from these, if there was a way to make it easier?:
  • T-Nax- fight in water cause coding makes knockback not happening there. Was sposed to be fixed, never was.
  • Velucidae- Fight at top of stairs and burn, dont worry bout flowers.
  • Gnorbl- Reflect his damage and someone gets 900k dps one shot.
  • Contested Mayong- Pull to front entrance using Amazing Shot, no need to clear to him, will not pull zone,have other groups keep area clear of heroics. Amazing Shot nerfd. this required alot of manpower though, so only a few could really pull this off.
The KoS ones were happening before EoF release, and Mayong was a pull we were told can happen and I saw it at least twice.

And there were quite a few more, I just can't remember them all. I just remember these coming to a past guild I was in last year from a prominent raid guild still active today. At least that is what I was told.

All I know is my guildmates did a great job keeping me up and killing the bitch.

Actually that reminds me a lot of the Instanced Mayong exploit before they fixed, also before they nerfed him.

You could have a brawler FD him and it would remove 2 buffs off of him for 3-4 seconds that were like 25 dps and 25% health, making him a lot easier to kill. I remember in my guild at the time, we discussed this a lot, and in the end we emailed the dev team, because we were adamantly opposed to exploits. The Dev response was that it was not intended to be removed, and that it was getting fixed. We beat it properly, and it felt a whole lot better to beat the mob the way you were supposed to, instead of exploiting it. I also heard of this same exploit being used on avatars. If this was done that fight becomes trivial, just adds near the end, it's not really a success of anything, sounds like an exploit to me. I have no idea if this was actually done apart from some guildies talking about it, but it seems kinda lame to me

If you intentionally disable the cacooning skill the Widow Mistress uses, by the way it was described, I can not see how this is an intended mechanic of the encounter, and should be looked into.

Regarding the "strat" examples you provided..... just say no.
