We've just deployed two hotfixes to correct issues with a pair of raid encounters.

- During Phase 2 of the Lady Vashj encounter in Serpentshrine Cavern, there was a significant chance that a Coilfang Strider could spawn at a particular point that would cause the creature to evade. The Strider evading would then reset the entire encounter prematurely. We've made a modification to the spawn point that should prevent this behavior.

- During Phase 2 of the Al'ar encounter in Tempest Keep, Al'ar occasionally charges at a random player. The damage dealt by the Charge was severe enough to immediately kill a lightly armored target even if the player was at full health. We've reduced the damage done by this Charge ability.

The charge was not doing the damage, it was her auto attack so I'm a bit skeptical about it being "fixed".

Mobs auto-attacking on random Charges (or aggro-switch specials like Vek'nilash's Uppercut) is a fantastic game mechanic.

Seconded! :[

Let us treat the men and women well; treat them as if they were real. Perhaps they are.

Picking an herb should aggro every herbs in a 40 yard radius. It makes sense, you are actually picking their best friend.

These straightforward posts that not only state bug fixes or tuning tweaks, but also explain the rationale behind them, are extremely welcome. Thanks for the information.

Flamehorn, your ignorance betrayes you. Stop thine auto attacks and thou shalt not pull aggro. Keep this in mine whilest thou raideth. Do not trouble yourself with problems beyond thine comprehension.

So let it be written.

So let it be done.
