Kil'jaeden Soul Flay Hotfix | 2008-05-28 by Blizzard Entertainment Daelo | Original link

Kil'jaeden's Soul Flay ability [...] now targets the player with the highest threat against Kil'jaeden, regardless of the distance between the player and Kil'jaeden. The normal threat buffer that prevents a creature from changing targets to someone outside of melee range does not exist with Soul Flay. Soul Flay will still not target a player who is immune, however.
