[Exploit] Gothik the Harvester, stop his shadowbolts.

[NonMagical]

Drain Mana
17% of base mana 30 yd range
Channeled
Transfers 3% of target's maximum mana every 1 sec from the target to the caster (up to a maximum of 6% of the caster's maximum mana every 1 sec). Lasts 5 sec.

Mana Burn
14% of base mana 30 yd range
3 sec cast
Destroy 13% of the target's mana (up to a maximum of 26% of your own maximum mana). For each mana destroyed in this way, the target takes 0.5 Shadow damage.

Viper Sting
8% of base mana 5 - 35 yd range
Instant cast 15 sec cooldown
Requires Ranged Weapon
Stings the target, draining 16% of mana over 8 sec (up to a maximum of 32% of the caster's maximum mana). Only one Sting per Hunter can be active on any one target.

It's impossible to drain 425k mana over 7 waves unless your raid is entirely made of Priests/Hunters/Warlocks, and even then I'd consider that impossible.

Stop spreading lies. Draining Gothik's mana does work, but you will NOT bring him down to zero, thus bringing this exploit to the Useless category.

Math, do you know it?

Assumption: Lock and Priest have 17k mana, Hunter has 10k mana.

Mana Drain: (17000*0.06) = 1020 per second
Mana Burn: (17000*0.26)/3 = 1473 per second
Viper Sting: (10000*0.32)/8 = 400 per second

Situation: 2 Locks, 2 Priests, 1 Hunter
(1020*2)+(1473*2)+400 = 5386 mana per second

Phase 1 lasts for 4:30 (drawing on memory I could be off a bit). That's 270 seconds, and (270*5386) = 1,454,220 mana drained. More than enough. In fact, you could almost do it with only 1 Priest assuming they did it non-stop (1473*270) = 397,710 mana.

Quick edit: Not sure if 1 week is considered necro posting I was just flipping through pages and saw this post and it irked me. Don't know the necro policy so if I violated it I do apologize.
