Deathbringer Saurfang: Do PW:S bubbles still stop Saurfang gaining Blood Points?

VOTES

1

Eek, I'm hearing rumours that the Saurfang encounter in ICC has been changed without announcement or blue post, and that priest bubbles no longer prevent Saurfang gaining blood points from the debuff.

As a disc priest, this is likely to have a large impact on the way I play the fight. Can anyone confirm whether this change is on the live servers now? (or a link to a blue post about it would be good too).

I'm not surprised at the change, as I'm sure it made some guilds railroad their priests down the disc route for this fight, but it would be good to know before my next trip in (Friday).

Unfortunately I can't find anybody that did it last night, and our run isn't until this weekend. – Wridel (Jan 13 2010 10:59 AM)

I did this last night, and I can confirm that fully absorbed ticks still prevent BP gain. Note here that a tick MUST be FULLY absorbed to prevent him from gaining BP.

Yep, think you're right, have heard other folks say this too. I'll stick with the same approach to shielding to prevent blood ticks tonight and see how it goes. – Runc (Jan 15 2010 4:42 AM)

I cannot find the blue post to back me up on this, but Blizzard patched this quite a while ago, and the shields do not prevent blood power gains.

Patch 3.3.2 (2010-01-02): Deathbringer Saurfang will no longer gain blood power from Mark of the Fallen Champion. In addition, mitigation abilities such as Power Word: Shield will no longer prevent blood power generation. – Dobablo (Jun 9 2010 3:03 AM)
