Blood Queen Lana'thel - More time to DPS before full raid MC

[ChildeRoland]

Juntor, how can this possibly be hot fixed? It's no bug or exploit.
@ OP - Really good, I'll tell my guild to do this on Sunday's raid.

Of course Blizzard can prevent this, they changed the mechanics of the fight recently so this strategy of killing off a player doesn't give any benefits any more. The old timer for Essence of the Blood Queen was shorter than 60 seconds, making the strategy of killing a player viable. But this got changed.

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Recent Icecrown Citadel Hotfixes

We increased the duration of Essence of the Blood Queen to 60 seconds in 25 player difficulty, and 75 seconds in 10 player difficulty. A strategy developed for managing the Essences throughout the fight that involved intentionally killing a player, and this change addresses that strategy. The new timing does interact with some of her other abilities in new ways, but there are methods that players have to lessen that impact.

Besides, the OP has some timers wrong, you actually have 10 seconds after your Essence runs out to bite the next person. In addition, the Berserk timer is 5 minutes 30 seconds, not 6 minutes.

Assuming she bites 5 seconds into the fight, as well as assuming an average time to bite people of 5 seconds (max time allowed is 10 seconds), the timers on 25m would be:

0:05 - 1:05 1 Person with Buff
1:05 - 1:10 Average Biting Time
1:10 - 2:10 2 Players with Buff
2:10 - 2:15 Average Biting Time
2:15 - 3:15 4 Players with Buff
3:15 - 3:20 Average Biting Time
3:20 - 4:20 8 Players with Buff
4:20 - 4:25 Average Biting Time
4:25 - 5:25 16 Players with Buff
5:25 - ? Time to Bite

5:30 BERSERK
