BUMP ^^^

Of course there are 2 different incarnations of this script. The classic one and the one from around 2006 (post revamp). Originally he had a placeholder but later on he was changed to simply spawn when the last Azarack died. I'm guessing the one that's live on this server is the non-classic version and that's why you were able to kite it without getting summoned.
Both incarnations have the irresistible root though.

You would be wrong.

This server has a placeholder that when killed spawns the PoS. You are correct that these mobs proc a root/lev effect, but the key word there is 'proc' so as long as you aren't in melee range, they don't do the effect.

The key to this whole dispute ISN'T the KITING. Everyone is getting hung up on that, but it's a red herring.

The key is that the Protector of Sky is a TRIGGERED MOB. He isn't up. He spawns based on player actions. Rogean ruled that a triggered mob belongs to the raid that triggered him. The fact that they were kiting him to prevent spawning Sirran before the other azeraks were dead is inconsequential to the ruling.

It's no different than Ixiblat Fer in Kunark. He is triggered by turning in a runed seashell to Naxot in Burning Woods. No one other than a complete asshat would think it valid to pull and kill a spawn of Ixiblat triggered by another raid force. The same thing applies to Protector of Sky.

Repeat after me: The ruling had NOTHING to do with KITING.
