The Naked Fear

From watching videos, gathering scraps of information, and using logic, I have come to the realization that these fights...the Heroic fights...will be much like the HardModes in Ulduar 10. That is to say, the fights will be the same but there will be elements that make them significantly harder to defeat and in many cases, will not be simple buffs like "does more damage" or "has more life".

Now, obviously this has been stated in many blue posts, but I don't really think anyone has a true idea of what that actually could mean...it is an entirely new "mode" of instance so....

Here are some thoughts:
Northrend Beasts; Might not be a joke anymore...More Kobolds that do more damage, Impale stacks faster. If the 1 of the 2 worms in phase 2 is dead for more than 30 seconds, it resurrects with 50% life. Icehowl bounces around the room before he is stunned.

Jaraxxus; has more than 10 stacks, might spawn 2 sisters and 6 infernals instead of 1 and 3. Adds hit harder. Gains another ability (maybe?...is he very simple).

Faction Champions; fuck.

Twin Valkyr's; Popping wrong color orbs does significantly more damage, stacking your orb color takes significantly longer. Shields have more HP and need to be broken faster to prevent healing.

Anub; don't use permafrosts.


This is all just speculation but id like to see what you all think...we have to anticipate anything and everything so we can knock this shit out and bring more and more people into 10CC Hard! Whatever strategies the first group in there come up with will be posted in detail per standard Strat Post MO from papa smurf Gdan.

Well, we know what the additional abilities are, since they are already in the game and have been DB scraped on WoWHead and such.

On Twin Valks, for instance:

Touch of Darkness
<HEROIC ONLY>
The Val'kyr's Dark touch has affected you, inflicting 7313 to 7687 Dark damage to players under the effect of Light Essence every 1 sec. The Touch of Darkness will not harm targets with the same attributes as it.
50000 yd range, Instant, 15 sec cooldown

Basically the same fight, except that lights and darks have to make sure they are not near each other due to this ability.

mind posting a link? i didn't see anything on MMO (my one stop shopping for info)
