wat?

[Aubade]

Well, there goes my MT job.

[Amran20]

As an aside, this boss sounds rediculously easy.

[Khayne]

If it's a "Flee in Horror", as in horror effect instead of fear, And if that Sentinel Blast is stacked on tank i can see that fight be a 2 tank fight where other tank just waits around until 1st tank either gets few stacks of sentinel blast, or gets feared=>taunts. 1st tank now waits until stacks of debuff reach 3 or something or horror again=>taunt back.

If it's Fear instead of Horror effect though, then i say that ability is bullshit .

[Aubade]

Eh yeah, kinda like a gluth taunting style just with the added bonus of fear/horror?

[Amran20]

Aye. Except it says all targets, so I almost hope it's a fear effect so my Priest can Fear Ward me =P.

Otherwise this sounds painful.

The raid wide "saber-Lash" should be interesting. I can see it now. A few people refusing to group up for it because everyone who groups up dies. They're dying because there aren't enough people

[Aubade]

So i wonder how the fear mechanics are going to work, is it going to be tank killing? do we need 2 tanks? do we need to start stacking priests? can we just eat it?

Brutallus Meteor Slash is what it sounds like.

[Panzerdin]

You're gonna want everyone to take it, or it'll hit 10 people for 20k and kill the non-tanks.

all nearby enemies

Taunts are ranged these days.

Basically means that the tank that's on watch over turn will chill out a few yards away from boss instead of doing leet dps.

This theory of mine ofc does rely on if she/he/it is tauntable .

[Fridmarr]

From the feedback thread, it sounds like the fear is interruptable at the moment.

Till she does Horror -> Shockwave before you can regroup

Well if it is interruptable, a rotation should take care of it.

[fuzzygeek]

Sure would be nice if we had some real interrupts.

Well you can talent HoJ to have a fairly short cooldown, and considering the group up requirement that the encounter seems to have, I'd expect melee will be in range.
