Von's (and some other dragons) proc Chaos Breath

[Man0warr]

This spell seems to be bugged like Zlandicar's Stun Breath (supposed to be a proc on the tank only, and not an AE).

Von basically chain procs this on the whole raid, it does around ~1200 damage so your entire raid gets shotgunned down instantly. It's a level 57 dragon in WW that shouldn't be hard to kill. Lucy/Allah says it's a targeted AE but Zlandicar's Stun Breath for sure only damaged the tank - and Von seems unkillable without a huge zerg if it's chaining 1200 damage AEs on everyone so it doesn't make sense for it to be an AE and not a single target proc on tank.

There are a couple of other dragons in WW with the same ability (none of them are being killed, guilds just leaving them up).

This is working correctly. Chaos breath is a targeted proc AE with a AE range of 35 yards on the target. Not all dragons in WW just fall over dead without putting up a fight. Classic~

A 35 foot targeted AE shouldn't be hitting an entire raid

Zlandicar's AE (Stun Breath) has the same targeted AE text and every classic guide we have found so far only mentions it hitting the tank.

Bump

[Daldaen]

Chaos breath is different however in that the 35 AE Range allows you to make it so that the tanks are the only ones getting hit.

Zlandicar's AE is a different spell and a much larger AE range that doesn't allow you to outrange it.

[heartbrand]

I noticed this also. This makes Von / Jen Sappara, a few others, essentially unkillable. Not classic.

[Daldaen]

I've killed Von and Jen Sappara with less than a group. It's not hard.

Tank at head, everyone else at tail. Only the tank will get AE'd and you just heal through it.

Zlandicar's is one that you cannot our range, but the one the WW Dragons have you can easily OutRange with proper placement of characters.

[Man0warr]

I know what the spell effects say on Lucy, but I was at the tail of the dragon at max range when this happened in my logs. Pretty much always fight that way if possible. It didn't seem to hit any casters far away though so maybe the hitbox on some of the WW dragons just needs to be increased?

[Daldaen]

I've killed Von with the strategy I described, in melee range of her at the tail and was never hit so long as the tank held aggro and stayed at good range.

If you push it on top of the tank and your tank is bad and doesn't move to compensate, you're going to get blasted. If your slower pulls aggro and she spins to attack him, you're going to get blasted.

The 3 procs in 7 seconds doesn't sound Buggy, but that's possibly RNG. I would think breath AEs should be on a timer not a random proc.
