They all have aggro tables. Frye (3rd) resets randomly. Baxter and Hummel have regular aggro tables.

think the ones having trouble are the ones that go in and afk and dont do anything because iv yet to even see anyone’s HP move during this fight lol so either they are afking at the bosses or just not doing anything at all

I’ve been doing this on 30+ level 10-12 BM Monks every day and I can tell you that the tank needs heals. It doesn’t matter how short or easy the fight it, a tank getting hit by 3 bosses is going to need some kind of heals, and if they don’t have much of a heal, like level 10 BM Monks, they’re going to die. If you’re queueing up for heals as DPS, you’re being selfish.

If you die just release and you dont need to run just engage the fight again and kill them. When people start dying is because the dps is too low due to people coming with alts in green gear. They take ages on killing them and some classes who can lust/hero dont even use it. Not because they dont have healer or even tank.
I tank it and never needed any heals, my bar hardly moves lol, so your Tanks must not be self healing
I just did a bunch of these as heals … 1 out of 5 of those the tank did not need healing. In another one of them, we should have booted the level 1 “tank”. A level 1. Orc warrior. Meh.
No wipes but the level 1 tank run did have one person die from standing in bad and that was my fault.
If you queue as tank or healer and then don’t tank or heal and people die youredamn right they deserve a suspension first time and a ban the second.
Any time you waste someones time it should be reportable.
Far worse than saying mean things in chat.

“My group never died therefore it’s not possible for anyone”. - some of yall
The scaling is really wonky for some levels. I’ve seen the bosses fold like paper and other times seems like we were getting 1 shot.

The only real issue I’ve noticed is going in with a mixed levels group and having a shaman healer drop spirit link.
I’m not sure what the issue with scaling is there, but there definitely is one.
CCC is terrible because…
One, Blizzard upped the difficulty but did little to communicate the change nor changed the rewards (rocket still has abysmal drop rate, nothing much else drops most of the time, only a few paltry event tokens).
Two, Blizzard put a mount into this event that has one if not the lowest drop rates ever, leaving players frustrated after years of not getting it, with some not insignificant number willing to run alt after alt through the event without regard to the gear or level or skill with the class.
Three, Blizzard is using the same trash backwards screwed up scaling that has had similar negative effects across other events like TW - that is the backwards and barbell shaped scaling curve that leaves lowbies and geared level capped players overpowered while leavling lots of the middle and fresh level cap players potentially underpowered.
Four, Blizzard created the mechanics for this encounter such that even half or more of the people in this thread do not understand it - the neutralizers ARE NOT so one can stand in the matching puddle, nor are the puddles the issue most of the time, it is auras on Hummel and Baxter that do damage in melee range that cause the most issues.
Five, some player queue for the tank or healer role to skip the line and cannot fill their role.
Six, some players stand in bad.
Four out of six issues are due to BLIZZARD, not players - and most failure (I haven’t seen a wipe. but I’ve had the frustrating experience of the rest all dying multiple times making the run a PITA) are also due to the first four.
Lots of changes could be made so this event didn’t suck, including (just off the top of my head) putting the mount on a vendor / massively increasing the drop chance, fixing the scaling (broke across the game for so long, this seems doubtful), update the event mechanics to be more clear - like clear visuals for the aura and possibly ‘click here now’ type extra action buffs to avoid the damage (seems like a lot of work), just nerf the damn thing as it’s just being spammed because of the mount if they won’t increase mount availability.

It’s part of their long-term strategy to completely eliminate alts from the game by making it pointless to play them and infinitely grindy if players choose to.
How are you wiping on the Valentine boss?
Just dont stand in the puddles. There is no other mechanic. You dont need a Tank or Healer.

Yea thats like your opinion, otherwise blizz would do it
I noticed the three guys you have to fight are all over the courtyard, the “tanks” don’t gather them up for some reason. Maybe it’s not possible.
Try opening you eyes then. They hit hard even on tanks.
Dude, the thing lasts 30 seconds, who cares?
Almost wiped on a group where everyone was standing in the juice.
Takes a bit of skill. Right as you leave the dungeon, make sure you have the person selected and if you can quickly get to the report option before the screen changes, you can actually report them.
Sadly, I don’t think anything will become of it 
The worst bit is the leveling bots. Literally just stand there and soon as the boss dies it instantly requeues. Every time they are a Tank or Healer. It won’t participate at all in the fight, just stands there and queues.
So, to be fair…I’ve queued as tank twice while farming this dungeon and it switched me to DPS. The same thing happened to another tank, but they were switched to healer.
Although, I’ve only seen this happen three times in the last week, I know that is not always the case.
Just wanted to put that out there.
