Deadmines - Tanking Mobs without getting hit

[Shang]

In The Deadmines, on the second boss "Sneed's Shredder" there is a little bridge like thing in the center of the room. Once you gather mobs, just put some aggro, and jump over to the other side, and the mobs will not go straight after you but go around to get you. This could prevent things from hitting you, which means less healing which means easy fo boss kills and mob killing..

Have fun =) Here are some pictures.


Gather up Mobs


Jump to the other side. And they'll run around.

Joo mean liek stand on a higher platform, pull a mob, when he's near you you jump back down? O_O

[hsurce12]

didnt know

[NuclearWizard]

Wow just post some pictures to atleast try to get some rep for some "effort"... /sigh

[Crazy-Chik]

Who cares? :P
Nice job I guess but seriously, deadmines, easiest instance of all time, and there isnt even a need to hide from mobs, just 1 shot them all.

[Thrill12]

Man I hate the deadmines..

I would have to say RFC is easier though.

[sid1488]

Well alliance don't got RFC.. well they do, but how many lvl 15+ can get into mittle of org? ;o anyway.
1. ain't this intended? jump on a other platform - they run after u - jump bk - they run around again?
2. useless, u can do VC easy enough...

[Shang]

[Shang]

Alright, got pictures up for you guys...well if may not be easy for low levels running this place, but for us high levels it is..this is a easy way for them to run it =D

Everyone in WoW knows this.
Same as the reset point on the boat in DM.

Its not an exploit, its not exploration - its not "a smart use of game mechanics" its just working as intended, its a mob path - they see that as higher ground to high to run over, so they go round. it saves you maybe 5 seconds of non dps combat time. Does nothing, yes you can get healed by i've boosted a 17 in deadmines on a 26 druid and succeeded with mass pulling.

Everyone saying "I didnt know this" i'm guessing there main is at DM level. Since theres loads of spots like this in instances throughout the game.

And if anyone find DMs hard with a group of 5 16s you should concider a major reroll and tell them to do the same. At 16 you have maybe 8 spells for your certain specc? It isnt that difficult to find the right ones to use.
