I can confirm it occurs in 8 man normal too, not just hard. Everything mentioned in OPs post happened tonight. We gave up after the second hour.

That's what we're supposed to do? That's so painful to think about.

I'm not entirely sure it's even possible to do this as an entry level raid (talking 50 blues/tionese). Kahesh does more damage than any of the other guys, and has 84k health. There's no way a tank can kill him in time (especially without support) before the reset-timer hits, and a healer can't do enough damage to kill him, and finally the dps can't survive long enough. My guild and I oneshot this guy yesterday (hooray 1.1 resetting this boss fight for no reason) cuz we were able to help every 10s, but the new debuff is wrecking us. We've tried many strategies. Highest DPS on him. Highest dps output healer. Best tank. Letting him kill you and then having the next guy he runs at pick him up (which randomly will and will not grant the debuff at times), have the highest DPS on him, make our dps kill 2 assassins at once and our healers all rotate healing on the highest dps every minute the debuff is off, etc. Nothing bloody works on this guy. Did they even think about this when they increased the debuff? Every other version but 16m normal doesn't have him, and is easily doable w/o helping anyone else, but this... this is just insane.

Yes D= I'm going to have all 8 main classes (4 for each faction) to 50 before the Legacy system is even implemented <_<;

No, seriously, I feel kind of dirty whenever I gank someone on a PvP server. I get nothing for it but the disturbing realization that all I did was waste another human being's time (and my own).

This.

^^^^^

Yeah I'm Llevel 14 and have an alt at 50, would like to see at least /something/ implemented (faster exp gain or whatever) as well as know the cap before, you know, I have my remaining two alts at 50.
