This Report has been done in Heroic Mode only (3 times) but spell effects are mostly the same as in normal, dmg values are for Heroic only

With the IDs of NPCs/Spells i am NOT 100% sure theese are the right HC/nonHeroic IDs, shoud prolly be checked

Arcatraz Warder (21587)

[X] Seems to do less dmg then he shoud, but no source atm

Arcatraz Defender (21585)

[X] Seems fine but since NPCs die in from the other NPCs can't tell for sure

Protean Nightmare (21608)

[x] Seems to do less dmg then he shoud be, but no source atm but missing "Gaping Maw" (38810) aswell as "Incubation" (36622) which shoud apply "Emergence" (36634) aswell as "Emergence" (36633) where as the 2nd Emergence shoud spawn 2 Protean Spawns (21395)

Soul Devourer (21614)

[x] Shoud do way more Melee Damage (13-15k before mitigation)
[x] Fel Breath (38813), works but seems to happen not frequent enough ( we killed 4 of them without having 1 Fel Breath )
[x] Summon Sightless Eye (38813) works (animation missing tho) but the "Sightless Eye" (38813) does NOT cast Sightless Touch (38813) on a random player (NOT aggro based) it just does kinda nothing

Death Watcher (21591)

[x] Melee DMG seems fine
[x] Does not use "Tentacle Cleave" (38816)
[x] "Drain Life" (38817) is not kickable (unsure if right)
[ ] Does not use "Death Count" (38818) on every player in LoS when hitting 50% health which woud appl "Death Blast" (38819) to every player who recieved the debuff "Death Count" under the condition that the Death Watcher is still alive. ( Tactic A: Kill Death Watcher fast | Tactic B: LoS him at 51% so only the tank gets the "Death Count" (debuff doesnt expire on npc death currently)

-> #define SPELL_ATTR_EX3_DEATH_PERSISTENT 0x00100000 // 20 Death persistent spells

https://github.com/Looking4Group/L4G_Core/issues/384

Entropic Eye (21593)

[x] is completly Missing | shoud use "Tentacle Cleave" (38816)
[ ] "Chaos Breath" (36677) which woud spawn a cloud that will apply a random debuff on the player standing in it.
[ ] More info on the entropic eye http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Arcatraz http://www.wowhead.com/npc=20868/entropic-eye#abilities:mode=heroic (I'm unsure about the Arcane/Frost/Poison/Shadow/Fire bolt/ball attacks listed there) (wasnt sure about this ability as i cant remember correctly myself and sources ares stating different things.)

Zereketh the Unbound (21626)

[x] His Melee Damage seems a bit low but it's shadow dmg as it shoud be so i'm not sure here
[x] His Void Zones (NPC:21101) which are summoned by "Void Zone" (36119 | coud be wrong) dont happen enough, we had 2 tries with 1 Voidzone and only 1 try with 2 Voidzones, this shoud happen more often
[ ] His Shadow Nova (39005) shoud do more damage if it is intended to have the encounter pre nerf, you HAD TO LoS it as it woud one shot you in 95% of the cases, i'm unsure about the exact values tho, if it is intendet to be POST nerf the values seem fine
[ ] He shoud cast "Seed of Corruption" on random players, but i was unable to find the Spell ID for this spell (this spell is kinda broken atm from my testing, but implemented it)
[x] Shoud be immune to Taunt
[x] Energy Discharge (38828 -> 38829 both seem to be used, not sure which one does what) shoud hit random players, NOT only 1 Target all the time, also this shoud continue after the NPC is dead for like 20-30 seconds
[x] When they reach 5% HP they shoud apply "Explode" (38830) on themself, stunning them and after 5 seconds they shoud use "Explode" (38831) resulting in their Death and Arcane AoE Damage

Sentinel

[x] Immunities, AI etc

Negaton Screamer(21604)

[x] The general Idea of theese NPCs works, they absorb a spell, get resistant to it and then cast a Volley based on the Spell, only thing is on retail the time between Absorb -> Volley was a bit longer so the overall amount of volleys was lower BUT you coud not kick them on retail, here u can kick them but you have more of them.

Negaton Warp-Master (21605)

[x] He shoud have a spell (36813) that woud Summon the NPC "Negaton Field" (21603) directly unter him) that NPC shoud prolly have an effect when the "Negaton Warp-Master" stands in it ( All related Spell IDs : 36813 36728 36729 38833 38834 ) he shoud summon a new field aprox. every 10-15 seconds

Eredar Deathbringer (21594)

[x] There shoud be 2 of them (Random) (wowhead comment http://www.wowhead.com/npc=20880/eredar-deathbringer#comments )
[x] (cosmetic) shoud have an Obsidian Edged Blade equipped (18822)
[x] Shoud do way more melee damage ( aprox 15-18k dmg before mitigation )
[ ] "Unholy Aura" (38844) works as it shoud but results in aggroing this NPC at 40 yard (same Bug as Netherspite Aura) (also shoud be an invisible buff on the NPC)
[x] Shoud use "Forceful Cleave" (38846) he never did that when we did him but someone said he used it in their run, but i can't confirm that
[x] Shoud use "Diminish Soul" (38847) to apply "Diminish Soul" (38848) on the players stacking up max. 10 times ( not sure about the intervall, but with 12s duration and 10s max stacks it shoud stack maybe all 9-11s )

Eredar Soul-Eather (21595)

[x] (cosmetic) shoud have 13937 equipped
[ ] "Entropic Aura" (36784) shoud be an invisible Buff on the NPC, currently it is displayed as a Buff (!) on the Player, also sometimes it doesn't apply at all
[x] Should debuff a random Player (not always the tank as it is right now) with "Soul Steal" (36778) (this works but only on the tank) and buff himself (doesn't work) with "Soul Steal" (36782) (can be spellstolen) in the same second(partly fixed)

Skulking Witch (21613)

[x] Melee dmg seems low, but i coud be wrong here
[x] Spells seem fine
[x] Theese shoud be 2 NPCs on Patrol around the lower Area in the middle of the room (invis) and not just stand there

Spiteful Temptress (20883)

[x] seems fine other than
[ ] MindControl resets aggro completly (generell bug, not limited to this NPC)

Unbound Devastator (21619)

[x] melee dmg seems fine (shoud be around 12k before mitigation)
[x] "Deafening Roar" (38850) shoud also Disarm and Silence ( didn't for us but other people said it did for them so i dunno )
[x] (also in normal mode theese have strange buff that changes their apperance into naked player models, didn't encounter this on heroic tho)
[ ] The whole RP Event on theese 2 Bosses is broken as hell (sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGxe6d_w6b4 ) ( http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/PlaySoundFile_macros_-_Outland_instance_sounds ) There are working versions of this in SD2 and SD3 aswell as some open source russian MaNGOS Project, but i wont link them. This is cosmetic only but i think it shoud be fixed aswell.

Here is are transcripts of their conversation http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Dalliah_the_Doomsayer http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Wrath-Scryer_Soccothrates

Dalliah the Doomsayer (21590)

[x] Shoud cast "Shadow Wave" (39016) on the player that is furthest away ( im not sure what the interval is at which she casts this but since the debuff lasts 15 seconds it shoud be something between 5 and 10 seconds ) (she shoud also target the person she is casting this spell at and shoud NOT keep the tank in target)
[x] Her "Heal" (36144) shoud happen after EVERY Whirlwind ( 36142 36175 ) and not just sometimes, also it shoud be kickable with every normal kick ( it is not right now, but was a few days ago, dunno what's wrong there) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGxe6d_w6b4)

Wrath-Scryer Soccothrates (20886)

[ ] His whole Charge/Firetrail mechanic is broken (like most charges), he shoud yell "On guard!" or "Defend yourself, for all the good it will do..." and choose 1 player to charge at ( he will charge to the position the player was when it triggers, not the current position ) No Idea how this thing works spellwise, can't supply more Info here sry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGxe6d_w6b4)

http://i.imgur.com/T4o463Z.png

Ethereum Life-Binder (22346)

[x] You shoud be able to sheep him ( this might be Post Nerf, shoud still be possible without CC )

Ethereum Slayer (21596)

[x] seems fine

[x] doesn't seem to cast "Polymorph" (36840)

Gargantuan Abyssal (21598)

[x] "Meteor" (38903 ?) seems to do not enough dmg (shoud be 20k unsplitted in Heroic)

Unchained Doombringer (21621)

[ ] "Agonizing Armor" (36836) does not stack, just refreshes duration
[ ] "Berserker Charge" (36833) is getting used but no animation (genereal Bug) but it shoud always be used on the target that is furthest away and do 1 Melee attack on the charged target resulting in some LoS Starts on Retail ( http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Unchained_Doombringer )
[ ] The Event for the final Boss triggers when attacking the last Unchained Doombringer instead of with a proximity trigger
[ ] During the Event "Warden Mellichar" shoud not just drop dead but rather Harbringer Skyriss shoud attack or Mind Rend him (cosmetic)

Blazing Trickster (21589)

[x] Does not cast "Firebolt" (39022) often enough, he shoud only wait max. 1 second to cast the next and the target shoud be random (like Ramparts Boss with Shadowbolts)

Phase-Hunter (21606)

[x] "Warp" (36908) is not targeted random but rather seems to be on the tank or fixed position and does not happen frequent enough
[x] "Back Attack" (36909) shoud be done right after a "Warp" but he doesn't seem to use it
[x] "Phase Burst" (36910) is not used often enough

[ ] "Mind Rend" (39017) doesn't seem to Stun all the time (not sure on this one)

If this all coud be reverted it woud be nice, but's it is not easy finding all this information, Corecraft spend years to find out every little thing, if you woud accept their research we coud run Corecraft Dungeons to compare them to the live ones.

"the black pools from the first boss not despawning and keeping you in combat."

From here http://looking4group.eu/hellfire/showthread.php?tid=845

No idea if it's legit or not.

Original comment by Anon X (Bitbucket: Anonx, GitHub: Anonx):

is a tricky one. as the death count does post nerf dmg, i will just implement the ai inclusive death count. the debuff doesnt clear when the npc is killed so attention plx. ;) needs spell (core) adjustments.

Original comment by Tr1n1ty (Bitbucket: Tr1n1ty_, GitHub: Unknown):

Taking Corecraft as legit source woud be nice, i've tested so much on Corecraft and still have all reports including sources still saved so i coud reuse them.

Every dungeon has things that are wrong, even if it's just a small detail i believe it has to be fixed, but this report took quite some time for me and my group (mostly a group effort an me formating/writing it all down) and we just started with Arca cuz we felt like it :>

If we coud compare every dungeon with Corecraft in every small detail it woud take some time but we woud do it, the PTR is great but a server that does not release won't help anyone

They stated in a different bug report that they do consider Corecraft a legit source of information for at least some things. https://bitbucket.org/looking4group_b2tbc/looking4group/issues/1650/thrallmar-wolf-riders

If you are unsure about mob melee/hp values I think they accept stuff from here too but I'm not 100% sure.

Is there really all this stuff wrong with Arc? I never would have thought that. Is it the same with all dungeons or is arc an exception?
