Second boss's ability:
Burning AdrenalineThat's whats gonna kill you, if you die there. you have 20 seconds, then you're dead. you will show up as having full HP, but you will die in 20 seconds, and healing doesn't help. and as far as i could tell not even a pally-bubble would remove it.
Edit taken from Val's page:
Burning Adrenaline: Damage done increased by 100%. Attack speed increased by 100%. Spells become instant cast. Reduces max health by 5% every second; eventually causes player to die. Vaelastrasz only casts Burning Adrenaline in two scenarios: He will cast it on random mana users throughout the fight and he will cast it on the current tank every 45 seconds. When the MT is afflicted, healers must be ready to transition to the next tank while keeping the old one up at the same time until the debuff kills him. Thus, the fight requires four tanks in a threat-building queue. When mana-using raid members are afflicted, they must move away to a designated area or bomb the raid with a 4,376 to 5,624 AoE blast. Non mana users will not be afflicted unless they are currently tanking Vaelastrasz.
I dont know WHEN he casts it, if it's on aggro or a few seconds in, but he will cast it on the one with aggro, and it wont go away til that target is dead. i don't even think it goes away when Val dies. But i know for 100% sure he does cast it on pets as well, if they're tanking him.
We did it with three, and 1 were alive when he died.
Other than that, it's easier to bring a rogue for the suppression room, but not needed, just easier. Other than that all of BWL (except the part below, of which i'm not sure) can be done with 3 ppl, maybe with 2.
Chromaggus will give you problems. He cast's debuffs, that mind control's when you have all 5 at the same time on you. we had cleanse and decurse, and still couldn't down him, so our hunter tamed him. According to Wowhead he is still tamebale.
Bring a hunter. A BM one. If you dont, i doubt you're getting past him with 2 people.
