Curse

A GM (or developer) death touched Brutallus for Vis Maior so they could attempt The Eredar Twins which appear to be quite a challenge.

Latest patch notes can be found further down in this news. A lot of changes!

Vis Maior gave Curse and WoR a couple of screenshots of the encounter and a 9 second video.

Note: Currently we're having issues with uploading images to Curse.com -- so we're linking to images over at World of Raids.

• Grand Warlock Alythess
• Both Twins

Eredar Twins in Sunwell

Spoilers below -- proceed with caution

One of them is a caster type boss (Alythess), the other is a melee type (Sacrolash).

• Lady Sacrolash is the melee version is using Shadow Blades (melee shadow damage).
• Grand Warlock Alythess is the caster version, from what we have seen she is using 2 abilities (and probably some more):

• Dark Touched, Healing effects reduced by 4% for 3 min. Stacks up to 25 times.
• Flame Touched, 200 Fire damage inflicted every 3 sec for 3 min. Stacks up to 25 times.

Brutallus v3 down

First, a little version reminder for players who wonder about the v3.

• v1: The original Brutallus with a 6 min enrage timer and 8 million hit points.
• v2: First hotfix, 6 min enrage timer and 11 million hit points. Meteor Strike added (10k damage).
• v3: Second hotfix, 6 min enrage timer, 10 million hit points . Meteor Slash damage (20k) and duration increased.

Vodka (US guild) managed to down this tuned version of Brutallus:

Felmyst v2 down

After Vis Maior experienced Eredar Twins encounter, a GM wanted them to test the new version of Felmyst also called v2. So what's changed in v2? He has more hit points and you have to dodge his deep breaths now (due to the added wall).

After several tries (5*7), they killed him, however the encounter seemed a bit buggy watched it on live stream).
