Heigan the Unclean 3.1.3

[Lulzi]

When fighting Heigan the Unclean (10 or 25 man) you can stand on the edge of the platform, with Heigan down off the side of the ledge. By doing this, you can avoid having to do the dance as melee, and be able to just blast him. I've gotten him to 40% before the first dance with my guild. Heres how to do it:

First, position your main tank and one healer near the 4th area. Put all dps and all but one healer at the 1st area.



The Red X is the tanks position
The Blue X is the raids position

Those are the positions pre-pull.

These are the positions everyone will run to as the tank pulls the boss:



The Red X is where the tank and the melee dps will be standing.
The Blue X is where the raid will stand while healing or ranged DPSing.
The Green X is where Heigan will be positioned.

With that, all you have to do is stand and DPS/Heal until the first real Dance part. About 2 seconds before Heigan teleports, you should ALL run to the Cyan X's.



Once you complete the dance, just run back to the original places shown in the first picture and repeat.

Hope this helps someone, and thanks for reading^^

Also, before people start saying this should be in guides, the exploit is that you should NOT be able to avoid having to do the first part of the encounter.

Seems like you've put a good bit of effort into making this, I'd + rep if I could ;/

this work. tested on naxx 10 last week

I actually used it last week myself, wish I had thought to put it on here sooner.

Confirmed this works, but I figure out what was happening until about 30 seconds into the pull. I just thought "...Huh, don't have to dance" But chances are you won't do this unless EVERYONE knows what to do and is onboard with the exploit.

this works. we do it all the time, only difference is we put him in the other corner.
only thing is casters, especially healers, need to watch for LoS and the casting speed debuffs.

Its not hard to make everyone understand how to do it, Ventrilo is ftw when it comes to that.

Also, to the poster above me, why would you put him in the other corner? If you do that, the healers have to run farther to get to the 1st position and risk getting stomped by Heigan's 8k-per-tick aura.

Just did an 8 man naxx run and we tested it -- after the initial wipe for people not listening clearly lol -- We got the positioning right and it went perfect. Kind of nice as I find most raids tend to die with the melee rather than the raid as a whole dancing. + rep

Heigan, the raid killer. Always people die here

Glad you liked it. I used this to get the safety dance, we only brought 1 melee dps and it went very smoothly. Was very cool.

This strategy is great, but it's been floating around for months now.
