This is the world first and only pre-nerf kill of Gara'jal 25 Heroic. Immediately following this kill Gara'jal's HP was lowered by 4.1%~ and the buff "Blazing Speed" was unable to spell stolen from the trash. This was officially confirmed to *not* be an exploit by Blizzard.
Officialy vodka did use the spellsteal buff to kill the boss. At current gear levels the boss was unkillable prior to the HP nerf. We were running a stacked raid group for dps and the minimum number of healers possible, and were consistently getting the boss sub 4% over the course of hours. We noticed the trash mobs buff on a re-clear and decided to try it. While this is obviously not an intended way to kill the boss, we reported it and confirmed with the developers regarding this method. After our kill, based on our feedback they made timely changes to the encounter and hotfixed the buff.
