Less-Rabi Achievement (easy)

[IrishOsirus]

My group had a lot of trouble with this achievement, and incidentally found a different way of completing it. All it requires is that you have 2 people in your party that can drop combat.

What to do:
-Engage the boss normally and bring him to about 15% (you don't need to worry about getting the interrupts except to make it easier healing-wise, as the plan is going to involve him turning into a mammoth).

-At 15% begin kiting the boss towards the ramp that heads to the entrance of the instance, bringing him about halfway up the ramp and doing very light dps with no dots as you go.

-Have your 2 combat droppers (we used a resto druid and an arcane mage) run back into the room where you pull the boss as he nears 1% and very carefully bring him to <5K hp as they drop out of combat (they need to make sure they're far enough away that they aren't hit by the quake)

-Die. I'm serious [The OP had the non combat-dropped stay OOC to avoid this, some might find it too hard]... the 3 people still in combat die and don't release. The boss will revert to human form and run back down the ramp at 1% health. The 2 people who dropped combat just need to nuke him real quick when he gets in LoS and everyone gets the achievement. It's sleazy, but it works.

This was fixed as when he runs back down and is re engaged by your ooc he automatically goes to 100%

so 4 ppl stand on the top of the stairs maintain out of combat

rogue pulls and kites boss, waits for the transform

when boss is in the middle of the stairs, rogue vanishes, boss starts resetting

at this point everyone is out of combat and boss is in mammoth form

tank jumps down to the bottom and starts attacking the boss as the boss comes down to the bottom

the boss will evade for a bit then aggros the tank?



sorry i get really compulsive with getting all the details right :P

No the whole group stands on the opposite side of the entrance so they wont get into combat. As the boss is running out after the rogue your group will run to the center and your tank will grab him when he comes running back down in mammoth form.

This actually still works, I did it the way described and I got the achievement.

fixed or not?

[admiralchaos]

It still works. I figured this one out on my own, the way I have always done it is have a druid moonfire him, go kitty, dash up the stairs, soon as he turns mammoth, shadowmeld, then everyone else downstairs (Which should be on a side out of combat) should start heading up to him to aggro him right away before he has time to switch back

??
Win.

That was an easier way than i did it

This works with any combat drop such as vanish, feign death, and real death :P
Tested and working as of 1/5/09

Still Works tested Jan 8/09.

i pulled boss while having the rest of my party stay on the other side entrance, ran to the Entrance of the room where he Started to Transform. He Transformed i Shadowmeld and he started running back down the stairs as a mammoth. Tank picked him and we just DPS him down and got achievement.

[Cynik]

Just to add, i tried this a few times on my rogue and he evaded and re-transformed, make sure your group is spamming him on his way back down and when he gets to the altar

[Blarblarll]

doesn't he evade when he is running back to his spot?

Its basically the same concept to solo Jin'do in ZG. Like when Jin'do drops his MC totem he resets, but it takes a couple seconds for him to regen HP, and the MC totem despawns before his HP goes up which allows you to continue to kill him. So when this guy goes into mammoth he wont change back to normal form until hes in his initial pull location for about 3-4 seonds.

Does this still work post 3.0.8??

[shadowdancer]

[werko]

Well, as I haven't done this archievment yet I think I'll try it

[Viralrush]
