Debuffs ftw?

Haven't noticed anything different other than the lag killing our DPS like every other encounter.

we've always done the burn method (even on our first kill). keeping their health close to eachother just makes the fight take way too long and there's too many chances for something else to go wrong.

have the MT group hold one of em, and the other 3 groups concentrate on the other one. if you can't deal with the magical strikes on your tanks for 3 minutes you might have to, uh, pretend like you don't suck at healing.

We do it this way and they die in about 2-3 minutes anyway.

So what you say is it's dangerous to have their health close together, too? What I've read here - apart from you post - is only about having their health close together (not more than ~20% difference)... what happens when they're about even, same damage spikes?

If you just blow one away you only need to deal with like 2 ports which is easy for the tanks in raid to handle (rescue, reinforcement, peel etc.) whereas the other way means multiple ports and thus much more potential for dps/healer deaths and overall a much much longer fight.

We noticed it last night too!

Temple of Kor'Sha is complete.

We need you to test the "twins" encounter (Kodux and Zarda) to see if they can be killed using the script and if they can be killed one at a time. The encounter is intended to have them seperated and burned down, keeping their health within 20-30% of each other. We believe, however, that the script could be completely bypassed. Please find enclosed an Easy Button. Once used, it can be re-set with the command /easybutton_reset_notascrub

Yours in good faith,

Random Dev
