Two mechanics can pick a tank player when they probably should be limited to dps/healers.

  • Spears;
  • Random jumps after soaking the middle on intermission.

Tested as a 10-man, mix of 2 CE guilds. Overall design ideas behind the fight are cool, but we’ve found a few issues.

The boss should do a cast at the start of the fight so a melee doesn’t get insta-cleaved. This was a problem even when we had the tanks engaging the boss from a different angle, stacked on top of each other.
Tanks shouldn’t be targeted by the spears.
At least on Heroic there should be more time to soak the weapons (or increase soak rate). I disagree with reducing swirlies, they’re fine, the real problem is tight timing (which might end up fine on Mythic, tbf).
Wracking Skewer shouldn’t stun on Heroic. Not good to require a MD on 10-man.
