Easy Valithra Dreamwalker

[xilla]

I searched dreamwalker hunter pet etc. but couldn't find anything so, sorry if it's a repost.

First of all you need a hunter, and bunch of paladins in your raid.
The hunter must have the Gorilla pet. (I don't know the exact name but)

Hunter must have these 2 talents active;
Blood of the Rhino - Spell - World of Warcraft
Spirit Bond - Spell - World of Warcraft

Then paladins put beacons on Valithra Dreamwalker and heal the pet as hard as they can. Its not kind of exploit but it helps alot especially on Heroic Mode of this encounter.

Sorry for my bad english

oh, also mage's Amplify Magic - Spell - World of Warcraft on both Dreamwalker and Hunter's pet helps alot.

It sounds like it would work, but it really doesn't. The initial heal will be increased, but the Beacon of Light heal for what the Holy Light would have healed for without the increased healing effects. Blizzard fixed this awhile ago when people were doing this exact thing to keep tanks alive easier on single tank fights. This still sort of works, however, because the Glyph of Holy Light splash was still being increased by Blood of the Rhino.

Plus, this isn't even an exploit (assuming it worked in the first place).

well we tried few minutes ago, according to our paladins it worked. we finished the fight faster. :/

This was on ************ last night. It was confirmed there that you get benefit from glyph of holy light but beacon doesn't get increased. Some numbers given showed that this trick would shave around 4 seconds off the fight.

working as intended, old and known by every paladin/hunter ive seen, but +rep for informing the uninformed XD

He is absolutely right.

Only the Glyph of Holy Light Heal is increased.

IF you are right then the tooltips lie once again:

Beacon of Light
The target becomes a Beacon of Light to all members of your party or raid within a 60 yard radius. Any heals you cast on party or raid members will also heal the Beacon for 100% of the amount healed. Only one target can be the Beacon of Light at a time. Lasts 1 min.

give me paladins, corporal!!

Ps, This was a mate of me joking around on my account when i was at school.

Heya,

Well if you realy want to speed up this encounter, make sure that the healers who go inside the portals are pally's and let them put crusader aura on the sec they enter the portals. This way they can move faster and pickup more buffs which will increase there hps more. But common sense imo.

[krampak]

let them put crusader aura on the sec they enter the portals

Does that work ? :S

[mnbvc]

we tested this when hardmodes got activated and it didn't work, not with the pet and also not with the incresed healing talent which a rogue can specc
the direct holy light healing on the target is increased, but the beacon target only received the normal ammount
i really doubt they changed anything with this mechanic :P

[BlQ]

Does that work ? :S

Yes it does. And if you use aura mastery the movement bonus doubles

[lanun]

I think this was fixed a few weeks ago. I've tested this 2 weeks ago to confirm it's no longer working.

Pally
Hunter 1
Pet 1
Hunter 2
Pet 2

With beacon on Hunter 1, heal to Pet 1 will give the beacon heal to Hunter 1, but heal to Pet 2 will not trigger the beacon heal even though it still triggers the glyph of holy light heals.

Afaik, these are the viable alternatives.
1. Heal on feral cat with Nurturing Instinct + any active pally aura with Improved Devotion Aura or druid's Tree of Life= 26% extra
2. Self healing holy pally with Divinity + any active pally aura with Improved Devotion Aura or druid's Tree of Life = 16.25%
3. Heal on Blood DK with Improved Blood Presence + any active pally aura with Improved Devotion Aura or druid's Tree of Life = 16% extra
4. Heal on Prot pally with Divinity + any active pally aura with Improved Devotion Aura or druid's Tree of Life = 11% extra

Works perfectly
My guild only do VD like this

As hunt I use a turtle, not a gorilla, because a turtle could bubble annoying 50% of the damages much better

ok now the explanation of the trick and how to see it working well
Glyph only gives +10%
but using pet+beacon you'll see the stats (recount or skada) of the glyph growing up to 28%... not so useless
But you have to do the things in right way... the right glyph, the right pet, the rights talents, the beacon on the boss and you have to convience your pala to ONLY heal the pet.

Last thing, when doing VD, all our raid stand near the head of the boss, close to where the pet stands and we enjoy the +30k automatic healing
