The Silken Court

Scarab Lord Anub'arash and Skeinspinner Takazj are Queen Ansurek's most trusted advisors. Yet, these two powerful nerubians harbor a hatred for each other that is even more powerful than their loyalty to the throne. While unleashing their considerable strength onto their enemies, each also fights to ensure their counterpart doesn't survive.

Mythic Changes
At the start of the fight, both bosses cast a circle around them: a purple one for Takazj and a red one for Anub'arash.
Split your raid into 2 groups of 10. One goes to Takazj, the other to Anub'Arash. Players are marked with their boss' color for the whole fight.
If you don't get a color at the start, you die. Only 10 players can have the same color. If players from opposite sides run into each other then they die.
Most of Takazj's abilities will cause players who are hit to drop a mote of their color (red/purple).
Unsoaked motes will explode and apply a stacking DoT (red/purple) to all players of the opposite color.
Motes can only be soaked by players of the opposite color. When a mote is soaked, that player gains 1 stack of the DoT (red/purple). Players die if they reach 3 stacks.
Raid is always split into 2 groups that play far apart. Precise group movement is required to soak motes and avoid killing each other.
Anub'arash needs to charge through 3 web nets to be stopped.
Stinging Swarm is applied to 5 players and all 5 must be transferred onto Takazj within 10s to interrupt her.
Anub'arash's scarabs spawn with a 80% damage reduction that slowly decays over time.
