EVERYONE
KILL THE VAL'KYR
Heroic Changes: Val'kyr have more HP but release their target at 50% HP and fly back in the air. They gain an "ability healing them" over time.
The boss summons Val'kyrs from above. They charge towards and pick up a random player, then seeks the shortest path to the platform's edge and flies slowly in that direction.
Once it flies off the platform, it throws the picked-up player off the platform.
Players can rescue the captured player by bringing down to 50% HP the Val'kyr before it reaches the edge.
Warlocks and Hunters should be able to come back on the platform by themselves, and thus play on the outer part of the platform.
