Attumen the Huntsman Exploit

[finalxcution]

After messing around with Attumen for a while, I figured out that he and his horse, Midnight, are not linked. That is, they do not both engage in combat at the same time. In order to take advantage of this, I simply pulled Midnight back just before he called for his master (at 95%). Because of the level difference between Attumen and my pet, it is possible to avoid proximity aggro. If done correctly, Attumen will not engage, making it much easier to keep my pet alive. For non-hunter classes, I'd imagine you could employ the same exploit by running away as Midnight drops to 95%.

After Midnight drops to a certain percent, he merges with Attumen and drops combat but doesn't reset. If I wanted to, I could have sat and regened a bit before re-engaging. From that point on, it's smooth sailing as he doesn't hit any harder than Midnight alone did. The only thing to keep in mind is to stay within 10 yards of him or else he charges you, as you can see when I stood too far out in the video and was nearly killed.

As for why you'd want to solo Attumen, he has a 1% chance to drop his Fiery Warhorse mount. By sheer luck, it dropped for me on my first ever solo kill!

wow dude nice really good rotation and pet aggro control with the misdirection >_< 5/5 XD +rep 4 JOO now you should try something like moroes O_O that would be a challenge

[Ssateneth]

Attumen didn't switch targets because of charge, he pulled too much aggro (omen on right side of screen. puple = pet, yellow = himself) :P

[finalxcution]

Yeah, my feign resisted so I couldn't shake him off me. The charge I was referring to was after the first bandage when my feign came back up.

How did you clear the trash?
Only ever see videos of people killing the boss itself.
(Trash can be hard for some people as well /guilty)

[seeman]

For the trash kill the people first and trap the horses the people go down fast then the horses they enrage when they get low on hp and im pretty sure you can tranq shot them to calm them i just burned through it. Just make sure mend pet is up 100% of the time and you are fully pet spec'd (56/15) Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
with your tank pet (gorilla or croc) spec'd like

the last pack of trash before midnight you'll most likely have to let your pet die because there is 2 horses and 3 humans, again kill the humans first and freeze one horse then make sure at 95.5% pull ur pet back and the guy should just stand there, if not fd and reset.
