Halion Exploit! Easy HC kill! ENGINEER REQ!

[cheiftan1]

Ok so this is my first post on here since its the first thing ive found that is actually a good exploit, im not sure if its a re-post but i doubt it.

Ok this is what the exploit does, it allows you to start the encounter off on the HP that you left the boss on the previous encounter.

Explaination:
Ok so say you have Halion on 50% (or what ever percentage you want to resume the fight on), all that is needed for you to do is let one person reset the fight (with invis or vanish) and the boss will stay alive while letting you go out of combat on the same HP you left him on!

You rogue or mage then only has to res a member up with their engineer kit (a healer ofc) then they resurect the rest of the raid and resume the encounter from the % you left it on.

For this to be a ble to work ot is advised that no one in the raid releases their corpse and all wait for a ress.

I realise there is a low % of you being able to perform this exploit, since the engineer ressurect kit might not work correctly.

This might also be possible with a flask of invisibility not tested it yet.

This is quite interesting if it works, altho im personally against exploiting bosses themsels.
I do hope it works for someone thats willing to do it tho

[cheiftan1]

Definatly works, started the boss today at 75% after all but 1 guy dying.

I have not done Halion yet, can someone explain a bit more? Does he not reset when the raid wipes until you enter it again?

And no, flask of invis dont work. It can only be used out of combat.

invis = mage skill.. and does work in combat.

[cheiftan1]

Basically the boss will disapear from the instance so that everyone can re-enter into the wall of fire that sorrunds him when you start the encounter, he de-spawns like most other bosses for around 10 seconds.
Using invis or vanish will stop this from happening and he will stay stood there on the same ammount of HP that you left him on, allowing the whole raid to res back up and start the encounter again.

I vote this to be moved 1st off, I'm not sure how much that helps though.
2nd, Pics or GTFreakO. I find it hard to believe Blizz is this retarded lol

edit: i know if this ACTUALLY happened to me i would be like, O maybe i should screen-shot this...

[kickasskid54]

Would it work, to have a battle Rez pending or a shammy ankh? or would that negate the effect?

[Neckringer]

Anyone tested this with Shadowmeld?

[cheiftan1]

think it might work with shadowmeld, but no it does not work with DI or ankh

[kickasskid54]

Didnt say DI, i was asking about brez

And, did you test to see if everyone is dead, except mage/rogue, they invis/vanish and then you ankh? Not, ankh once people die.

The second someone confirms you get my +rep

[benjamin66]

pretty useless in my opinion as the most difficult part is controlling both inside and outside dps balance in phase3
If you cant dispel the mark in right place right time, if you cant keep both sides dps balance
Even you start in 30%, you will still wipe
If you can dispel and keep dps balance, then you wont need this

This is an exploit thread, not a strategy thread.

Depends on what phase you do it.
Yesterday me and my guild were trying Halion 10 Man Heroic, and after a fail inside dispelling and everyone touching the beam, we decided to whipe and our MT inside did DI on a priest and everyone outside killed themselves with Cleaves/Fire.

Boss resets, we get ressed and guess what! He had the corporality buff from last phase.... We couldn't kill him because he was gaining too much HP as the time we were DPS'ing him.

Think you must reset the encounter before last phase, because last phase Corporality will make it impossible to do it. Tho this encounter is only difficult on last phase in heroic, so I don't see the point :P
