  • Razorgore the Untamed
    • Razoregore now has a large Egg in the center of the room. For every 10 eggs that break, an Unstable Chromatic Drake will spawn which needs to be off tanked. During the encounter, the Unstable Chromatic Drake will spit various elemental effects around the room, each with a different mechanic:
      * A trail of fire deals damage to all players AND NPCs standing over it.
      * The green smog travels around the room and will put players to sleep.
      * The frost traps will slow players and deal damage over time.
      * And the gold areas will give players a movement and casting haste effect.
    • If the orb controller loses the mind control by being damaged will get a "Mind Exhaustion" debuff that prevents using the orb for 30 seconds
  • Vaelastrasz the Corrupt
    • Vaelastrasz now starts at 60% hp.
    • Burning Adrenaline has been completely re-worked. Now, the effect is a stacking debuff, giving you more and more haste and damage, while dealing more and more damage over time. Until you eventually die and explode.

      Pre-SOM Burning Adrenaline (unstackable):
      - Damage done increased by 100%.
      - Spells cast are all instant.
      - Reduces max health by 5% every second.
      - Deals 4376 to 5624 damage to surrounding allies on death.


      SOM Burning Adrenaline (stackable up to 50 stacks for tanks and 25 for other mana users):
      - Damage increased by 10%. (per stack)
      - Haste increased by 10%. (per stack)
      - Deals 0.5% of max health as damage every second.
      - Deals 4376 to 5624 damage to surrounding allies on death.


      When 25 stacks are reached (for dps) the aura is not refreshed anymore which causes the player to explode.
  • Firemaw
    • - A new Static Electricity debuff will stack every time you take damage. (while in blizzard's som these stacks have an infinite duration, in here since it's 10man these stacks stay for up to 20 seconds)
    • - At 10 stacks, you release a Chain Lightning effect to all nearby players (10-15 yards).
  • Flamegor
    Ebonroc
    • - Bosses are now chained together.
    • - If one Drake dies, the remaining Drake enrages — killing them must be done as sequentially close as possible.
    • - Flamegor casts an aura called Flame Touched while Ebonroc casts Dark Touched (similar to The Four Horseman in naxx, these auras are limited to an area around the boss) that tick for 100 per stack and stack up to 20 stacks.
    • - Flamegor and Ebonroc will face eachother and cast wingbuffet simultaneously.
    • - Loot has been moved to a chest that spawns in the middle of the room after the encounter has been finished.
  • Chromaggus
    • - Breaths are random, a 360-degree attack and can no longer be line-of-sighted by normal means. (except by ice blocks)
    • - Whenever a debuff in the raid is cleansed, an effect will happen on the battlefield. If the green debuff is removed, a poison cloud spits on the ground. If the bronze debuff is removed, a firework goes off and stuns random players nearby. If the red debuff is removed, a patch of fire spawns. And if the blue debuff is removed, an ice block will spit on the ground. Standing behind the ice block, is the only way you can avoid being damaged by breaths.
