[Dungeoun] Swamplord Musu'lek damage in Underbog Normal

[Dollywog]

Description: Aimed Shot damage too high

Current behaviour: Swamplord Musu'lek casts Aimed Shot when no-one is in melee range (uninterruptable) . This is hitting for 8000+ on fully prot gear plate warrrior level 70. Boss is level 63. Seems like Heroic damage?

Expected behaviour: Max damage is too high, not sure of exact figures for normal mode however

Server Revision: "WowWikia says hits for around 2000 on cloth" May be a bit low though

As stated above, the aimed shot in normal mode hits on plate (57% armor) at level 70 for ~8k.

I found a video on YT (see link below) and in Heroic UB a ~t4 geared Rogue with what appears to be 8.2k HP (the video is pretty blurry but you can make it out in the beginning of the video) takes an aimed shot and loses approximately 50% HP (~4k).

From what I can gather, Aimed shot is doing more than double heroic damage in normal mode.

Will test Heroic UB tomorrow to compare.

Update 1: It is worth noting that I was under the effect of Claw's Echoing Roar (see first screenshot) which reduced my armor by 75% dropping me from ~13,800 (~57%) to ~3450 (~25%) -- though I still believe that an 8k hit is excessive for a level ~63 normal dungeon.

I've been unsuccessful at finding a video of a normal UB run from retail TBC, but I will keep looking to confirm.

There is conflicting information bout his Aim shot from TBC to WOTLK. Ill post the videos. The only comment i can find from TBC bout this fight being diffcult is the bear debuff reducing his armor "2 shotting" a tank.

(Patch 3.1.0) "Yes, this boss is so bugged nowdays." (Patch 3.1.0) "I reported this to GM and got the following semi-canned response that seems to indicate it is indeed a bug: "We are aware of the situation you reported, and we are currently investigating the issue. " (Patch 3.1.0) "My DK got hit for 17k in frost presence (63 DK, 50% mitigation)" (Patch 2.1.3) "i tried tanking both swamplord and bear in heroic as feral druid with ~19k of armor and 15k health... i was doing fine but when i got debuff from bear i was 2 shooted" (Patch 2.0.5) " The Swamplord has 3 main abilities: Aimed Shot, Freezing Trap, and multi shot. The boss will periodically use an AoE Freezing Trap (disarmable by rogues) which will freeze the whole group while he charges up an Aimed Shot. Other then that Swamplord will constantly multi shot a random target, dealing 700-1.3k damage. This is an easy fight, tank the bear, kill the Swamplord"

• "Aimed Shot: Musel'ek will use this ability when nobody is in melee range. It can hit for over 2000 damage on cloth-wearing classes."
• Hotfix (2009-05-07): "The damage done by Swamplord Musel'ek's Aimed Shot ability has been reduced and be more in line for players at the appropriate level to face him. - this is patch 3.2

Rev 4018 - still an issue

Currently hits for over 8k right now on normal, this is with no bear debuff.

Aimed shot doing only ~1.5k to a low level hunter on normal mode per the below classic video:

The damage it deals on heroic mode also should be checked
