Hey guys. Just a heads up for the raid tonight and those who may have not noticed this yet. There is apparently a bug with saurfang in which he generates runic power at about double the normal rate. Aside from the bug report, I have spoken with a few other people on our server who have noticed this. Should be an interesting run tonight! :)

This is good to know. Hopefully it's either 10 man specific or they get it fixed by the time we get there ;-)

This is one of the reasons I'm glad we don't raid on Tuesday night.

It's happening in both 10 and 25.

So apparently changes were made in order to discourage the "let the marks die" strategy (even though said changes were not in the patch notes):

So, even if this is a bug, the fight will be harder if you stack a lot of melee dps.

From what I read in that thread, the marks are inflicting less damage and don't cause Blood Power to build. All other mechanics are causing roughly double Blood Power over previous, including one report that damage absorbed by PW:Shield also increases Blood Power.

Well, nice job guys; we whipped 'em :)

BTW psyche; that is one of the most disgusting avatars that I have ever seen.

Thanks gaph! The best part is that it isn't even manipulated. That's a real photo of a real fish.

We did very well last night. I was expecting a much more difficult time on Saurfang. It felt good to two shot him.

Well, looks like they applied a hot fix to lower the regen rate.

We've just deployed a hotfix that reduces Saurfang's blood power gain from ability damage back to 3.3.0 values. There was also a minor visual range issue with Blood Nova that was fixed.
