DH Smoke Screen + Treasure Goblin exploit

[Asgorath]

Hey guy,

sorry if this was posted already, havent seen it anywhere and discovered it myself today.

As a demon hunter you can reset goblin's running away by simply stopping damage on him and using smoke screen,
even worked while his portal was out, he just kept standing and let it it disappear
Used this method many times, when I needed to clear some mobs lurking around him and buy time.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Can you get endless gold with this!?

Can you get endless gold with this!?

Nah, the goblin wont reset his HP, only the portal timer, so u can have more time to kill him.

[stimike]

I think he means, the goblin will throw gold out occasionally, and if you cna make it so he never leaves, will he keep tossing out gold?

[CuT]

interesting, can someone test?

[Asgorath]

No you can't make infinite gold this way (From what I've seen I think that he has preset maximum distance he will run and then he is just supposed to start his portal casting sequence)
but you can make sure that goblin never escapes you.
It is very useful for situations when you get surrounded by group of mobs and can't chase him or when you are just undergeared and too slow to kill him.

mm... Doesn't work for me. Let me know what I am doing wrong?

When he had his portal out, I use SS and stopped damaging him but he still went through the portal. Should I run further away from him or something?

[bofeity]

I know you can dps him in SS (old one that lasted 3sec) and kill him inside it without him moving an inch.
Not sure about it 'resetting' his timer.

[schop]

This works, only thing that keeps him running is if you have your companion with you for obvious reasons

[Asgorath]

Idd, it worked even at meelee range, your companion/mercenary just mustn't attack him

This is very helpful, thanks alot

[bofeity]

I can confirm it.
"Creative use of game mechanics" imo

[paella]
