With Open Arms (Kologarn) made easy

[Omaster]

This achievement involves killing Kologarn without destroying any of his arms. Today we found out that using Guardian Spirit on the person grabbed will completely disable the mechanism that kills the grabbed target after a while. The GS'd person keeps taking damage, but will stay in the hand forever (obviously no new people will be grabbed either). This completely trivializes the achievement because you can ignore the arm and only have to heal the grabbed person.

I've seen it happen in the 10man version but I assume its the same for 25man.

Kologarm grabs what, 3 people in 25 man?

3 priests in a raid? not hard to come by these days to be honest.

doesnt he do more damage every tic? wouldnt that be very healer intensive

Pretty sure it's the same amount every tick.

ehm i fail to c the exploit here? to get the peopl out you need to dmg the arm. if you dont dmg the arm the people will stay in there untill fight is over or wipe. I dont know about damage if that changes over time or stays the same but he grabs up to 3 ranged people if available.

Boss does squeeze players (certain death) in hand after a while (if you don't get them out by damaging the hand).

After a bit they will die automatically.
