So, before Helios dropped, they were like most any other world raid bosses. You got a party, you buffed, you start beating on em, and soon enough they died dropping loot and xp.
Now, you get a party, you buff, you start beating on em, and WHAM!! a massive aoe for 30k plus damage. WHAM!! another massive aoe for 30k plus damage.
What gives? What happened to make those raid bosses suddenly start doing massive aoe damage that they didn't do before patch?
Both Maliss and Embryo Nigel were doing it, those being the only two I tried before calling it a waste of time. Couldn't kill Maliss with a level 93 group, and killed Nigel only cause rest of the party was 99+.

Just one party, however, we always did them with just one party before the patch as well. This aoe they have is something they did NOT have before the patch.
Raids got fixed to avoid them from being farmed by just a few chars as that was never NC's intention so just adopt and farm them with 2+ parties including an actual Tank ;)
