20,000? Is that before or after reduction? If its not reducable, is this basically intended to take out one member of your raid at a time? Does it only target the tank or what?
Hmmm, if its random, or if its an AoE ability, maybe in the ecounter your supposed to enslave him to make him meteor slash... himself? Idk. I'm trying to think of a reason blizzard wouldn't hotfix the enslave thing.

I'm not exactly sure. I'm hopeful that one of our readers will fill us in though. =)
My friends have said that the encounter is exponentially harder now, and nearly impossible. So I wouldn't be surprised to see another hotfix.

The 20 000 damage is actually spread across three people, all tanks. They have to stand almost on top of each other. Think back to the meteors from the Anubisath guys in AQ20.

From what I've read, Meteor Slash's damage is divided amongst the target and the two other players nearest him, which should all be tanks.

as far as i understood it wasnt the raid boss brutallus that was enslavable, but the version of him visible on the island from outside the instance, there is a weakness in the blocking that can allow a warlock to get closer to him than intended and the "flavor" brutallus was not tagged "immune" to enslave
i could be wrong of course...considering in no way was i there (stupid queue for character copy)

From what I'm to understand, the attack does only 2000 damage at first, then places a debuff that increases fire damage by 75%. After a few stacks, it's hitting for 20000.
I could be wrong, though.

Anyone wondering why Warlocks are getting all the really cool mistakes in the PTRs?
I think there is a warlock on the team who decides what goes live on Public Test.
and he wants them to be all powerful...

So what happens when you enslave Brutallus and pit him against another Brutallus?

It wasn't the raid Brutallus that was enslavable. Well, he may have been, but the one that was causing trouble was the duplicate that appears outside of the instance.
The Sunwell Plateau is more or less the same map as the Isle of Quel'Danas, and you can see inside of one from the other. Brutallus appears in the Dead Scar and can be seen both from within the raid (naturally), as well as from outside in the Isle, where players can proceed to an invisible wall at the Dead Scar, or fly overhead in a Daily bombing run quest.
After the enslaving incident, the outdoors Brutallus was almost immediately hotfixed to be unable to attack. It may have been with the last push, when they also added an invisible wall around the isle to prevent level 1 priests from swimming there.

It's a "Public Test Realm", not a "Live" realm, as such I see no reason why Blizzard should be expected to drag the developers in on their weekend to fix something ASAP.
However, were this discovered on a "Live" realm, I have no doubt it would have been hotfixed within hours.

Actually, blizzard put a sticky about this on the PTR forums, which qualifies perfectly well as an announcement.
As far as the outside , enslaved Brutalis, they added an invisible wall so warlocks can't get so close.
