holy shit, amazing find!
Tested does not work.. do you mind PM'm exact steps.. tried what your video showed but could not reproduce thanks
If you look at the image in my post, there's 8 step instructions. You might need to work on the timing to get it right, it took a while for me to get it working and still fails sometimes. Make sure you do it exactly as described, and have legacy bonus for reduced CD.
PS. I'm not 100% sure about the mechanics yet and there may be even better ways to do it.
I can confirm this works. I followed the steps and as long as your Heroic Moment is activated before the original timer runs out, it will work.
I do wonder why it only lasts for 6 minutes though? Is it possible to make it last longer since I cannot get a group going to do hard mode flashpoints in my damn server and I am curious about doing one by myself.
An amazing find. Shame they will now patch this quickly.
My theory is that when the legacy bonus reduces the CD to 15min, the original CD of 20min is still counting somewhere, so at best you could get little less than 5min + 2min for multi Heroic Moments.
It should be possible to solo whole flaspoints too, with some patience and timing, just wait 15min for the next CD. And I just found that you don't actually need to be logged out for whole 14min if you just keep companion dismissed.
I will try that right now, thanks man!
I tried it and it doesn't work. When am I supposed to be dismissing my companion? Can you give me A-Z the steps of doing it without logging out?

Ok you're right, at some point I got it working without being logged out for long, but I'm not sure about exact steps because I couldn't repeat that way anymore. I think you still need to logout for some time. Actually for flashpoints I'm now doing just so that dismiss and logout for 6-7min, then run back inside, and logout for another 6-7min(use alarm clock;). Because if you stay out for more than 10min, the whole flashpoint will reset. Most HM bosses are doable but it's still challenging because you need high dps too.
So do you have to have ALL companions stories complete for the 5 min bonus before this can be done?
I can't test that myself but I'd guess that it can work even if you have just one companion bonus, but the duration would be shorter.
As of 05/29/2012 this does work. Nice find.
