Siege of Orgrimmar - Thok the Bloodthirsty - Fixate

[Scorp]

1. http://www.db.pandawow.me?npc=71529/thok-the-bloodthirsty.

 

http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=143452/bloodied - When players fall beneath 50% health, Thok the Bloodthirsty can smell their blood. If at least half the players in the raid are within 10 yards of one another while Bloodied, the scent of blood becomes overwhelming and Thok enters a Blood Frenzy.

http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=12021/fixate - Thok becomes unable to be tanked, and will fixate on random distant players. Any enemies who are caught within reach of Thok's terrible maw are devoured instantly (http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=143465/chomp#comments).

http://www.db.pandawow.me?npc=71529/thok-the-bloodthirsty fixates on 1 player for around 8 seconds, after that he chooses another player.

 

2. Problem:

Bug abuse: If no players move during phase 2 (stay in melee range of boss) http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=143465/chomp#comments bugs out/doesn't kill anyone.

Boss just stands in 1 place and does nothing.

 

3. How it should work:

No matter what, any enemies who are caught within reach of Thok are killed instantly (http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=143465/chomp#comments).

How raid groups abuse this boss:

Raid stacks at left/right side of boss. Tank goes infront of boss.

They pull boss, force him to enter phase 2 (5 players must fall under 50% hp in 10-Man & 15 in 25-Man). As Thok enters phase 2 he knocks tank back and casts his first Fixate. During this cast time tank quickly runs to his raid group and everyone stacks and no one moves.

If you do this Thok doesn't kill anyone, he continues fixating on random players but as long as they don't move - they don't die.

 

 

After Fixes:

Only thing that changed is now Thok Turns to the left where raid has stacked on his first fixate, but he still doesn't kill them.

 

Screenshot (again):

As you see in this screenshot there is a point where Thok doesn't move closer to players, and range of Chomp (Insta kill mechanic) is Red Circle around him.

 

 

I even moved around this location a bit, and as you see he doesn't kill me if I stand at "correct position":
