Divine Intervention: Extra Dps on Yogg Brain

[WarDrum]

Or DI someone and ress yourself with soulstone

Works, but is very poor.
Same thing happens if you use wowinfinity to noclip in.
The adds during P1 can choose to target you, and cast MC.
If that occurs, youre launched out of the room, and back up top. Possibly in a cloud, or else all over the place.

Here is my opinion, from someone who has been killing Yogg-Saron since week 1, and has done 1 Watcher in 10 man.

Unless you are A) Doing this is 25 man, B) Really good at the fight, C) Have really geared DPS, this is going to do nothing for you.

I can only see this being effective if you can afford to take an at LEAST 2 extra DPS'er from the top, (preferably casters) and manage to DI them in the brain room, only then would you be able to really skip a portal phase, otherwise you are stuck in a situation where you are just getting behind on Crushers up top, or you are getting overwhelmed with Corrupters.

I dont advise doing this unless you one shot this fight on a weekly basis.

+Rep for the find however, will make use of this for my speed kill.

DI boomkin > BR paladin > 2 dps in brainroom. Paladin and boomkin do 8k dps (to play safe) for 1 minute 30 = 1.040.000 damage. Stupid to use this for 1st kill though, kinda brings away the fun...

This would work if it wasnt for the fact that if you die in the brain room, you get ported out to his mount up top :P

Yeah that is what my boyfriend's guild tried to do. He's a ret pally and they had one other so they DI'ed the 2 druids they had (took turns) and as soon as everyone would come out of the tentacle room they would battle rez whoever used DI.

The problem was is that it was taking them too long to get the tentacles down since they were then missing 2 of their better DPS.

So like I said before I can see this being something nice to speed things up when you can down him no exploit involved but it's still going to take them a few goes to reach that point.

I strongly doubt your requirements are necessary for this exploit to be useful. We used this last night and the dps increase is highly noticeable. We normally do 3 watcher while focusing on other hardmodes, and this exploit let us do 2 watchers easily. For a guild struggling for a kill, the extra time dps can sit around while waiting to force phase 3 while the top clean up is utterly monumental.

Some additional benefits that this exploit allows are
1. Bringing in one extra dps for the brain phase after the chosen dps is Divine Interventioned, as their portal is open up top.
2. A very low brain going into phase 3 means dps can hold back inside while dps up top cleans up and makes your phase 3 seamless and perfect. (Our Brain was at 40% when dps broke through, which means with 2 DI's you cut out a brain phase entirely.)

Next week we'll likely have our prot pally respec Ret so we can get 2 Divine Interventions to shave the brain phases down to 2 instead of 3.

Definitely +Rep for an exploit that has tangible results! Looking forward to Heroic: One Light in the Darkness next week!

Even if I can't see the forum, I suggest it be moved to elite.
