Void Reaver 2.4 changed?

Post by Raelis

Ok I just wanna check that my guild is not the only one to have this happen in our particular TK raid. Void Reaver wasn't targetting ranged dps or healers with his orbs directly anymore to attack them and made dbm unreliable. They would get hit without warning by orbs and it caused a lot of confusion at the beginning. Is this something that Blizzard changed or was he bugged for our encounter?

Its not a bug as far as I can tell - the encounter was changed so that Mod's can't play the game for you.

Spoke too soon. Blue post confirmed that there was a change so that he doesn't actually turn to face and target the person he's shooting at. The bug lies in the fact that while they removed that mechanic, there's also no casting item in the combat log. They're going to add it in a future patch and the boss mods can change to use the combat log item for the notifications.

Thank you. To be honest,like Yakra, I'm not that frustrated with the change. It forces people to actually be more aware during the fight rather than fall into the usual trance with Void Reaver.

Today the biggest ingame raiding guild on our server (has downed Illidan) went to do they're tk/ssc as they always do on friday nights. Of course all of these bosses are one shots to them every time. When the raid seemed to end extremely early I asked a friend I had in the game why they were already done. His response was "VR was buggin out. His orbs were hitting right beneath him." they then went straight to kael, and vashj, and finished there night as spiffy as ever.

1 hour to the second after I whisperd him we wiped on Void Reaver because his orbs were hitting our tanks.

Haven't gone back since. But good luck to all those that this doesnt glitch for.

Is it also "playing the game for you" to know when gruul is about to do his aoe silence? is it "playing the game for you" to know when leo is going to change phases? Because honestly, I don't see how having a mod put a skull over someone's head when they get targeted = "playing the game for you". All DBM did was make the "show target of target" option a little more visible in that fight.

I kinda like it to be honest, this coming from a person who is just moving into T5 from T4 content. I'd rather have a boss be somewhat of a challenge than just rolling over for me. Got my warp-spring coil when we downed him a couple days ago too :)
