Firemaw :
Chromaggus seems very fun, but what were they thinking with Firemaw? It's the same thing with MC, they generally aren't designing fun encounters, they're designing anti-meta encounters. Basically saying if you like melee, dont play SoM
LIGHTNING Shield feels really weird on a boss named FIREmaw.
very cringe changesADD WORLDBUFFS
why we didnt have this in the original wow classic it would be awesome.. now where classic is dead and the hype is gone and without worldbuffs no one cares
I really like the changes. However, I'm surprised to see that Vaelstrasz keeps his "Get a major stat boost and then die" buff considering how the Soul of Iron mode have been added to the game. It does make me wonder how the Soul of Iron raiding guilds will attempt to do this boss without risking losing anyone. If anything, it'll be entertaining to watch!
So they're just making every single raid encounter as hard as a naxx endboss by stacking on tons of extra mechanics.
Heavy class stacking and consumable-heavy. SoM raiding is already almost dead. This'll probably finish it off other than a handful of top guilds.
yeah nobody wants to farm for all this conusamables.. just make consus to buy from a vendor for a little amount of gold (and BoP)
Last night when we were testing on PTR, Vael started the fight with 100% hp, so I guess that was changed since the first few streamed kills (which started at 60% hp).
