Grand Widow exploit

[xxsagoxx]

I have seen people talk about this but I haven't seen people explain it the way my guild does it. I will have screenshots later, realm is down and need to do naxx this week.

1.) You need a hunter to stand in the middle of the room with his pet dismissed.
2.) Everyone else must be on the green hill leading down to the boss.
3.) The hunter misdirects onto the MT and shoots one of the adds.
4.) Hunter feigns death, adds + boss run to the party.
5.) As soon as grand widow reaches the party however she runs back but the adds stay. Down the adds and the boss resets.
6.) You can now down the boss in about 1-2 min depending on DPS.

have fun :P

why would you need to get rid of them adds? they are all usually tanked by one tank, wich is ~1500 dps less, correct me if im wrong?

[xxsagoxx]

You dont need to, its just if you want the achievement easily or if you know something is gonna screw up in the pull you can do this. Its a handy little thing, theres no need to do it though.

This is old, but I don't know if it's a repost.
But if you use this to kill all her adds (and a rogue using vanish works better in my experience, for sprint) then she doesn't enrage.

Yeah, this may of been useful when Arachanid quarter was hard. Now OT tanks adds up, Burn adds, then burn boss. And you get the achievement I think, which is down the adds THEN the boss.

nah you don't need to kill the adds for the achievement. The achievement is to kill her without dispelling her frenzy.

Solid tank can easy just off tank them or kill them all at the start (in 10 man make sure not to kill one during her frenzy). We've done it both ways, normally we just burn the boss when we have less than 20 in there.

Really this is mostly a healer achievement to keep the tank up, dps helps to make that time shorter but meh.

It's been years if ever since this was true.

I tried it and all the adds ran back to their spot

Naxx is hrd bro. Good exploit, fairly useless except for terrible, terrible players who cannot mash the correct keys to pull 2k dps though.

Correct me if i'm wrong,but isnt this where people share exploits with the community?
Or is it where people post to ask why the OP needs to do this exploit.
Anyways,great find man this definately deserves +Rep :wave:

[djjtrip]
