Method just killed Lord Rhyolith. They are the first as far as I can tell.
We (Apex) killed him at around the same time, probably just after Method.

i was writing a recap for my guild(but it italian, cba to translate it now) i'm pretty sure i've figured everything except for the hp pool, since it seems it's not % based but maybe on absolute hp and how does he gets the enrage stacks. i've figured it could be due to walking over the mini lava pools that spawn after a volcano is destroyed or due to the 4 mini pillars, similar to the p3 of twilight council, that spawn on a player and deal around 30k dmg. they're hard to see since they're small but watching a stream i was able to detect them multiple times.
edit: forgot to mention that i've seen that legs get often(10-15 sec) healed for 50-100k

Yes, Catastrophe from Dunemaul-EU killed the boss after a while than Apex. And Molten armor debuff timer got bugged i guess, we managed 14 stacks of molten armor on p2
I'm using ElvUI, had it for like a year and a half now. :>
Wow killed already? Buff it much
So thats 1 over-tuned boss and 1 under-tuned boss, if you got your score cards out.
The boss certainly wasn't undertuned for the most part. Actually, it's probably overtuned for a raid of normal mode decked players. The second phase was disproportionately easy compared to the first though, so I hope they buff that.
One would say it depends on how hard you want Firelands to be, but all that nonsense aside;i like the basic strats of the first two fights, atleast phase 1 of Beth.

The fights currently are either bugged, overtuned, or both. What do you expect though from a beta type fight on a PTR?
Keep in mind, they are intended to die at a decent pace in response to the comment about Rhyolith dying already. They're tuned for 359 gear so when guilds in full 372s wipe on fights primarily to just over the top damage/health, they're probably onto something. Beth'tilac is just bugged though and only killed by Vodka exploiting the fight.
this particular fight with Rhyolith requires dedicated cooperation and communication to handle the mechanics of the fight. Having to "walk" the boss around certain objectives can prove to be a challenge from any aspect regardless of of Item Level. Though I will agree that phase 2 is quite simple and plain, as far as mechanics go. It's just a generic, nuke fest that doesn't really match up with how the previous phase was.
Though I think we can look forward to seeing the other bosses of Firelands to be of the same nature with having to bring together communication and timing to another stand point.
