A) The boss was despawned and we wasted 2.5 hours of our 8-hour raid week sitting around waiting for a GM to manually spawn BQL. We had to call it a night after only a few attempts.
B) The hotfix feels like it wasn't tested. Fears overlapping when you have to bite someone = fun!
To others doing BQL:
- It is unclear how BQL determines the first Vamp. Possibly based on threat at the 15-second mark. But we're really not sure.
- Essence is now 60 seconds instead of 50 seconds. That means two things, one the 1-2-4-3-6-12-24 strategy becomes suboptimal; and two the fear now overlaps with the bite timing. So be prepared with totems, mass dispel, fear wards, etc.
- Apparently the bite can be resisted. Not totally clear, perhaps if a person is feared while you try to bite them, but we definitely had a resist occur.
Glad I wasted 2.5 hours of my limited raid week sitting around waiting for Bliz to spawn a boss...that we had to wait for weeks in the first place for the gate to open. Woot!
