Hunter's Arcane Shot also purges 1 of the enemy's beneficial buffs right?

Well was doing the daily quest:
Maintaining the Sunwell Portal [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Where you have to kill the ethereals until they drop
Bash'ir Phasing Device [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Basically it's a 2.5% drop rate(Taking anywhere between 5-25 minutes to drop) before you can phase and start looting the 10 smuggled mana cells required for the quest.
Edit: The actual percent drop rate is a lot higher than 2.5% The data for those mobs is combined with pre 2.4 data. Thanks wktjim.

Once you drop the phasing device, you use it and it stays on you like a buff. Click it off, and you exit the phase.

Hunter's arcane shot removes this buff. On my server atleast, opposite faction are always ninjaing your cells. Just stand back behind one of the spikes in blade's edge while phased and start sniping at horde with arcane shot (and then Feign Death if you don't want to be auto targeted).

Repeat arcane shot every 10 seconds and eventually you'll dispell their phasing device, sending them back out to grind it for another ~15 minutes.

this thread is full of win.

I'm gonna be partying when the dailies reset

izzit really a 2.5% drop? cus' i usually get one out of 2 mobs
the drop rate in thottbot may also include those kills by people without having the quest, which is wrong
or am i just too lucky?

[nordh]

wktjim, you're just not lucky =)

And as far as I know, this isn't a magic effect, and thus can't be dispelled by arcane shot. Unless it's a bug.

Real people play on pvp servers.
JK, if you're on a PVE server, then normal PVP rules apply I assume, meaning if they're not flagged then you can't attack them.

I was hit with Purge and an arcane shot and it didn't remove my Bash'ir phasing device...

Websites are only showing this because not everyone who kills them has the quest. The drop-rate is actually MUCH higher, assuming you have the quest.
