World Of Warcraft: Second Lady Vashj Kill Sparks Debate About the Encounter

EU guild Method scored the second recorded kill of Lady Vashj on Sunday, May 6, after experiencing an entirely different set of bugs than popular EU guild Nihilum. A comment made by a Method raider over Ventrilo at the end of their kill video set the forums ablaze over whether or not Method's kill was more "legit" than Nihilum's. Nihilum benefited from a lucky evade-bug which reduced Vashj's health near the end of the encounter, immediately spawning a new Lady Vashj right afterwards. Method found that the Coilfang Strider's pulsing AoE fear was not removing fear ward, allowing them to be tanked and trivializing a significant part of the fight. They also were overwhelmed by adds that did not despawn after the end of the fight, making them unable to loot the corpse. The debate over the legitimacy of both kills is continuing on the US forums here. For the curious, Method's kill video can be downloaded here.
