REWORK:
THE TWIN EMPERORS
[hr=10][/hr]
BRIEFING
The Twin Emperors pose as the last encounter before players are allowed to face the Old God C'thun in the Temple of Anh'Qiraj.
Delighting in the pain they inflict upon others, these two inseparable brothers are capable of commanding a swarm of mutating bugs to pester their foes or explode them hazardously.
This rework takes place to line up the final release of the Temple of Anh'Qiraj raid at our PrimalWoW realm.
Instance: Temple of Anh'Qiraj (40-Raid).
Expansion: Classic.
Encounter: The Twin Emperors.
Mechanics
- - Bosses have a shared health pool.
- Bosses are immune to taunt effects.
- Vek'nilash is immune to all spell damage (except holy).
- Vek'lor is immune to all physical damage.
- After using [Twin Teleport] bosses reset threat and seek out the nearest player.
- Bosses heal each other rapidly if brought within 60yards of each other by casting [Heal Brother].
Abilities
- Vek'lor

Amazing work, very impressive. I was worried the last few niggles wouldnt be fixed on release. Very nice layout as well with the spell breakdown. Big round of applause please.
Can we get the same on Ouro and C'Thun? I actually haven't tried those encounters on PTR yet since 6 months ago when Ouro was stuck underground.

All things in their due time
I've most likely done the final line up of them prior release. On this update I have:
- - Fixed the loot issues following Kurthos' schema at the bug tracker (each boss will drop 1 piece of offset, 1 tier and chance to drop 1 armament/regalia/enchanting recipe)
- Linked Anubisath Defenders (and scripted them) to boss
- Added on defeat lines
- Improved the pathing of the Qiraj Scarabs/Scorpions
And that's all from the check list I had. If you find any further issues please report them. I'll keep this thread open for discussion for a week as I did with my previous rewrite and then lock it afterwards. After locked, please report issues exclusively at the bug tracker.
Regards.

No need to feel down Nyeriah, the improvements you did to the encounter are massive already and I think most of us appreciate the hard work. At the moment I think the encounter's pretty close to what it should be. Was fun trying it out.

Indeed, we're grateful for fixing this, thanks.
Speaking of fixes, Twin Emperors don't combat pulse after pulling them as well.
Probably also change the droprate for Regalia/Armaments to 5-10% each and the enchanting pattern to 40%, since that seems more reasonable (from what I'm gathering atm)

After Teleporting, Twin Emperors should stand still and not attack for 2-3 seconds, THEN choose the closest target for threat addition and then resume attacking/casting.
I've increased it, can you please check it out? I'll deal with the loot later.
Also, I really need some hard testing of the teleport to be sure it's not malfunctioning anymore. I've done some heavy rewriting of the script so it needs to be checked out asap. As soon as I get feedback from it I can apply the changes to live.
This is my testing of the teleport after the latest changes:

You forgot to add the part where they don't do anything for 2-3 seconds x)
Currently, after teleport, they just move to whatever target they feel like and only add 1300 threat after 2-3 secs to the closest player.
Check the video I linked (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVuPmDuGXpI) and look at their behaviour (standing still and not attacking after teleport)
Rest seems fine to me, have to check LoS stuff still

Were the recent PTR fixes applied to live servers?

Well, I'll consider this done and move on to something else. If there's still anything to be noted, reply until tomorrow.
