ZA bird boss trash exploit

[ching]

Found this out a while ago when our shadow preist was being a wanker with mind control.

once u start the bird boss trash event if you mc one of the trolls it bugs the event resulting in no extra owls or trolls from behind , and you can waltz thru in a matter of seconds.

should come in handy for speed runs.

can anyone confirm this?

[GDIAF]

I second the request for confirmation. also, screenshot with the MC target.

The same worked with vanish when the trolls are spawning. Worked for me one time.
If this works with MC too, I dunno.

MC which trolls?

As far I know this "bug" was fixed. The way it works (or used to):
- you have a priest stay back on first pull
- two mobs come up the ramp behind the raid
- one of these is MC and is "forced" to go back where it came from, there's an imaginary line where the first pull starts if you get this mob pass that point he will despawn the other one will run up the ramp and despawn...and...no birds will spawn.

The other way it works (or used to):
- Have a hunter stay behing that imaginary pull line between the columns
- when mobs spawn and start to run up the ramp hunter pull one of them and force it to cross that line and fign death

When those mobs cross that line for ad back the bug and despawn and since they're practically never in combat the birds do not engage the fight.

I haven't been back to ZA since my guild is now into bigger and better things.

The bug for the eagle trash was ment to have been fixed, but.. ZA is still buged.. and you are able to bug it like that sometimes. also with the hunter and rogue also can sometimes work.

The easyst way at the moment to get past it is to just run up to the bones to the left of the temprest and self rez from a shammy ,soulstone or a DI Then killing the temprest and working back from there.

So you will stop incoming mobs from behind ? A bit useless , becouse one fury warrior can take care of them.

i used to do it every time and it does not work anymore. The mobs that u used to mind controll are immune now so there pops the bubble. There is a way to buy yerself some extra time tho before the event start.

1) To do this u gotta mindcontrol the very first mob that runs up wich start the even. Weird enough he aint immune :S.
2) As soon as he is MC'ed the raid goes in and kill the trash. The priest just keeps the MC and Maby pulls it back abit to make his path longer.
3) The priest just let the MC expire no canceling it and when it expires he goes up and helps out.

If done properly u can get the first maby 2 packs before u get the adds incoming
