Large Increase in DPS: Kael Encounter

[Alkhara Majere]

Well, found a interesting bug during my latest Kael'thas fights.


To understand this exploit, you may need to have a rudimentary understanding of the Kael'thas encounter.

The bug is simple enough, and serves little purpose beyond unfair advantage in topping the DPS meters as any class with a DoT effect (although, in case of Shadow Priests like me, it serves as that much extra mana return).

All of Kael's advisers (Thaladred the Darkener, Master Engineer Telonicus, Grand Astromancer Capernian and Lord Sanguinar) die in phase one. Their corpses are un-clickable.

The bug:
DoT effects continue for the duration left when any of the Advisors die. IE- A warlock may, at 10%, refresh all of his DoTs or better yet, put up Curse of Doom. Shadow Priests refresh SW:Pain, Vamp Touch, Starshards if applicable.

Warlocks, fellow Priests, enjoy that much extra damage in the meters.


Yours,
Alkhara Majere

PS- Unsure if this can also be done as each adviser dies in Phase 3.

Yep, also works on Illidan several different occasions.

Doesn't effect their spawning health.

Aye, correct. As stated, a DPS increase only.

Just making it clear <3

Sweet, never made into The Eye or SSC on retail nice post!

"Large" increase in dps. I doubt 4 extra durations of your dots will tip the scale on the dps-meter that much. Had hoped to see a post about an actual dps increase, not just for meter-whoring =P

Because we all know, topping DPS is more important than progression.

^_^ Progression > Ones own epeen

Not really a dps increase. Just makes you higher on damage meters. Whats the point in being higher on damage meters if you cant down the boss??

[Lyricalwarfare]

Yeah if theres one thing we need then its shadow priests and warlocks at our DMG meters,

-.-


..Nice bug tho

[Mekks]

lol, fake it untill you make it eh.

[Nimaasuss]

Im not ever really gonna use this cause i suck at raiding but good find anyways.

Why do you seriously post shit about the necesserity of topping damage meters etc? It has nothing to do with this bug, it's helpful for those who want to use it. So take that discussion elsewhere.

A very nice find actually, +rep.

Because it can only be used for she sole purpose of topping damage meters.
It doesn't affect the health at which they spawn in phase 3.

And that's not what this exploit is about.. It's about getting that extra % on damage meter. Man, this place is swarming with retards.
