Nefarian turning towards DPS after Bellowing Roar

We just finished up a BWL and ran in to an issue that when the tank was feared Nef would turn towards the DPS. This would also cause issues when there was a shadowflame also being cast. This seems to be a new interaction since 1.13.6 went live as it didn’t behave this way previously. He went right back to the tank when he used Bezerker Rage, but the timing of Shadowflame can still cause a raid wipe.

Can confirm that this just happened to me as well tonight, and along with another guildie yesterday who did their own BWL run with pugs. Usually happened when someone resists the roar and somehow the threat of the tanks just wipes off of Nef. Never seen it happen before until this patch.

Just ran BWL again. Same problem still happening.

This was actually a bug fix from the 1.13.5 patch and what you are seeing is the intended behavior. Here’s the patch: World of Warcraft Classic Patch Notes -- Version 1.13.5

  • Fixed an issue that caused some creatures to not properly prioritize attacking non-feared targets.
