    [Mage] Naxx - 1.2 mil absorb + 40k DPS

    Well, what this exploit is, is simple but gamebreaking. - It allows mages to solo The Military wing, and (New) The Arachnid wing ( thanks to Fuzzeh for this )




    @MODS: Do NOT move this thread. This is a personal request, I want this thread to stay open to the public, if you want to know why, just PM me.





    In naxx, in the Death Knight Wing there's mobs called Death Knight Cavaliers and they have a spell called Bone Armor.

    Bone Armor - Spell - World of Warcraft

    Effect: Apply Aura: School Absorb (Arcane, Fire, Frost, Holy, Nature, Physical, Shadow)
    Value: 1200000



    So, that's 1.2 million damage absorbed... They cast it fairly often too ( every 10 sec or so ) and it is spellstealable.

    You must be wondering what the exploit is in spellstealing a spell from a mob... Well, here it is...

    Arcane Talent:

    Incanter's Absorption - Spell - World of Warcraft

    Incanter's Absorption Rank 3

    When you absorb damage your spell damage is increased by 15% of the amount absorbed for 10 sec.



    How it works is simple, every time you get hit it adds a buff on you for 10 sec, with 15% of the damage that the attack was absorbed. You can have as many as those buffs as you want, Each buff will fade after 10 sec.

    So, lets make a quick calculation here... You get the buff... get a couple hunters to MD to you and you pull Razuvious. He hits you for 80k ( as a mage ) 4 times, that's +12000 spell damage to you each hits...

    Since that buff absorbs damage, you do not have to worry about pulling aggro at all, we've had our mage tanking all the death knight wing, 3 shotting mobs, running around with 50k to 100k spell power tonight.

    Our mage was doing 38k DPS on Razuvious and tanked it from 100 to 0.



    Update:

    Originally Posted by Fuzzah View Post
    Parog, you've missed something my friend. I took out the entire Spider wing tonight with this exploit as well, including Maexxina.

    I did this by clearing the entire Military wing, then pulling the cavaliers out by swimming under the outer ring to the other wings. You can not do Thaddius (Doors are shut both ways), nor can you do Loatheb's wing (Cant get up that platform). You can, however, do spider. This requires you to clear quite a bit and is time consuming. I tried going the Loatheb route, but i found i had a huge difficulty taking out the gargoyles. I decided to clear north past Thaddius's room and across to spider.

    Maexxina's room is closed off, but you CAN still open Doodad Door #2. This gives you access to Grand Widow. (Killed her by clearing her room and simply burning her down. The knockback is annoying as hell, but it wasn't a difficult fight. I did not kill the adds around her and tanked the enrage for extra damage).

    After she dies, you have access to Maexxina. You do NOT have to kill the first boss of spider wing. I took out Maexxina by tanking two DK's on me and bursting her down. I would flamestrike every other spawn of spiders and spellsteal the armor right before web wrap. You do not get cocooned due to you being the tank.) This fight went well, no major issues.

    After that, i took the portal out and made the long trek back down with refreshed deathknights (Full mana again), through spider wing and took out the first boss. Locust Swarm wasnt an issue with the fire silence talent, as the DK's will strangle you every chance you get. You will be immune. Spellsteal right before locust just to be safe though.

    With Arachnid and Military down, it leads me to wonder if a mage could do all four wings. DK's CAN be in other wings, so apparently there is a trigger at the entrance to Military that resets them. Would this same trigger be in effect if you trained all the death knights out of the cleared Arachnid wing instead of Military? If so, you could indeed do all the wings.

    And... Finally, with the method above - would the death knights path up if you jumped in the Sapph portal (Assuming all wings are down). I doubt this, but i figure there is likely a way to manage the other two wings which have yet to be conquered.

    Congrats mages on yet another wing available for solo.

    EDIT: I have screenshots - and a friend of mine has it on FRAPS. I can give you proof when i use my MS paint skills to edit my name out.
    EDIT2: You swim under man, you can access all four wings. They didnt evade even once for me tonight, and i had to die like nine times. Im headed back when i get some rest tomorrow to attempt to access other wings as mentioned above. I'll post results.






    Here's a video, and for the screenshots, look bellow!

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ggLGj37qI"]YouTube - Naxx Heroic Military Wing soloed Mage[/ame]



    Screenshots below Check Damage meter on the first one to see the DPS and look at who the boss is targeting. On the 2nd one... well... Its him... with all the adds in the next room onto him... just killing them, lol, and all of us dead because he pulled like 10 of those mobs that AoE for 6k each lol.

    Damn. I knew about this too, but haven't been back to this site in awhile. Anyways, good post. Our mages were using a few days ago - really awesome bug.

    You're not going to like it, but this was done solely for the guilds that can't manage to get 2 priests online. It's the 'other' way to doing the fight(Hence the synergy). If you try to drag the Death knights outside of the stable area they will reset.

    Still, a exploit nonetheless since it make things easier, at least for my guild it will not be alot easier, had 10 wipes because our mage tank died actually lol.

    I apreciate the constructive criticism, but the death knight cavaliers do not reset anywhere, unless you run out of the wing. Besides, there's cavaliers all over the death wing.

    Don't tell me arcane blasting for 190 392 through the entire trash in the wing is working as intended.
