[Exploit] Sartharion 25 man 3 Drakes, Druid bug. ( New )

[Snowae]

This isn't like all the other threads, this is aimed @ legit guilds that are working hard towards a kill.

Ok, for all the guilds out there that are getting the 2nd drake down or getting close and finding out that their main tank or offtanks are getting jibbed, there is a way that you can reduce their incoming damage by 50% we used this on Sarth after the 2nd drake had died till after we had killed the 3rd drake and the melee had gone in and killed the adds inside the portal

(At that point in time Sarth has +75% fire damage, there is a raid dot, and his attack speed and damage is increased by 50%)

So Sartharion currently has 150% attack speed +50% damage and 1.5 second breaths that are still hitting for 20k'ish, at this point most tanks just get gibbed because of the pure burst damage from his insanely fast melee attack and high damage breaths.

Exploit is, Druid hurricane works on Bosses reducing their cast speed by 50% ( Making his flame breath 3 second cast, and reducing their melee attack by 50%, and 50% of his attack speed takes him from 150% Attack speed down to 75% attack speed, which make this transition of 3 drakes in 25 man that insanely easy to heal through it's really not funny anymore.

Basically the exploit is hurricane works on bosses and this counters the entire mechanics of difficulty in this encounter.

Edit: If your druid is having mana issues make sure they have omen of clarity for clearcasting, and also tank the fire adds over near sarth to help the druid proc his/her clearcasting (100% mana cost reduced on next spell) as hurricane can be mana intensive.

[Imbahamut]

Nice, can anyone confirm that hurricane works on bosses too?

[Deandra]

Confirmed, atleast on Sartharion.
Very good tactic. Should help a lot of guilds.

EDIT: Jus killed Sarth3D using this. Awesome work.

I don't care if this is reposted, copy/paster, or even if you're the one who found it out. + ****ing rep, this is amazingly useful <3

have my single rep; lol.

Could you not have a Arcane Mage and use slow to make the benefit even better? I don't think Slow would stack but if it would stick it would be more beneficial to the raid than the Druid debuff.

Confirmed and killed 8 minutes after this was posted?

[Bunster]

Nice find will try it :P

[Zacred]

The druid spell is working as intended, but the boss being able to get affected of it was probably not meant to be..

Still this is no EXPLOIT, its a tip/trick >.>

[Semtex_Jack]

It's an exploit because it's clearly not intended to be able to trivialise the encounter like that.

Good job on naysaying yourself.

exploit
Verb
1. to take advantage of a person or situation for one's own ends
2. to make the best use of

This debuff from Hurricane that works on Sartharion, wasn't intended by Blizzard, and we are taking advantage of it. Therefore- it's a mere exploit.

Thanks for the contribution, I will most likely do this in future raids to avoid wiping at three drakes.

+rep from me

[^bE qUiEt]

nice find, thx :>

[Karrde]

Very nice find.

This is working on all bosses? Not just Sartharion?

If so, will make Undying/Immortal that much easier
