[Exploit] Gothik the Harvester, stop his shadowbolts.

[shadowsturm]

Basically this is a little trick to make the easy fight that is Gothik a bit easier. Using this, you will stop Gothik from casting shadowbolts in phase two.

1. Engage Gothik the Harvester

2. Put Warlocks, Priests, and Hunters on the live side.

3. Gothik is immune to all damage in this phase, but he is not immune to mana burns. While your priests and warlocks are on the live side, mana burn him.

4. Since mana drains now take a percentage of mana instead of a flat amount, Gothik's 400,000 mana will go down faster than Kalgan's mother.

5. Once Gothik reaches zero mana, he will regen one mana per five seconds, not enough to cast even a single shadowbolt in phase two.


The exploit works better in 25 man, due do generally having more players to mana burn. It's simple to kill him after his mana reaches zero, with only melee, he hits like a wuss. Even if your guild is mediocre enough to kill Gothik without this, God knows mine is, it's still easily the funniest thing in Naxxramas to do. Turning a boring fight into something fun!

VERY interesting...will try this in a couple of days (even though Gothik is ridculously easy anyway)

Its not an exploit but a not very usefull tactic , since gothik is kinda ez. Didnt know he could be mana burned though :> , he always dies fast .

[rage5]

[firefly31]

Haha. If nothing else, its a creative find.

[hawaiiman]

yah The boss is very easy and if u cant kill him as is then you don't have a very good grp.

[Smygelito]

Great hint!

[CuT]

:worthless:

+rep if you get some

[Raith]

i have to agree pictures would be nice, add some if you want rep.

[xerotsuda]

Doesnt he just die after he comes down?
If you need to use this... Im not even gonna say it...

[Blardo]

Been doing this in 25m since the percent change since the fight is so boring as a lock.

[francomade]

The boss is easy, never wiped before lol.

[Akisunmaaji]

Confirmed to NOT WORK. I told a hunter to viper sting after we engaged the boss. The Viper Sting drained maybe 2% of his mana over the course of the whole sting, which Gothik regained back very quickly.

And I'm wondering how you ever got 5/5 valourous while you don't even know what the bosses do...
