[Iron Council Hardmode] I choose you Steelbreaker exploit!

[A1m]

Kill the first two adds. Steelbreaker should be the last council living, this is the easy part.

Now everytime a player dies Steelbreaker heals himself 50% (25% with debuff) and gets 25% more dmg. The Maintank get a debuff that kills him after 20-30 seconds (heal + more dmg!).

Now just tank Steelbreaker with a Voidwalker pet. The pet will get the debuff and die, but Steelbreaker won't heal himself thisway, what will make this hardmode really easy. ;-)

Thanks, I told my guild

Only slight problem i see with this is aggro issues. I know this fight isn't exactly a dps race with a 15 min enrage timer (which i've hit before in 25 man after we had 8 dps die, we wiped at 1%) but do you advise the voidwalker tank him from the start or what?

[A1m]

you should start with Voidwalker tank from the begining so it will have enough aggro when dps on Steelbreaker begins.

Gotta love them voidwalkers

[google<3]

Hmm, didn't they make the Voidwalkers unable to tank?

I would like to see this confirmed before +rep.

Ya..till it dies and SB goes and one shots 5 people as the lock resummons it.

Get 2-4 warlocks to tank him with their voidwalkers all from the beggining (that means 2-4 VW on him from start) should give you enough time finish him off with 2+ times the time

haha i just have got to try this out with my guild tomorrow =)

[Padawan5]

A guildie told me about this, He must be on the forums..

This wont work with a voidwalker, it will just die. Best way to do it is in phase 3 let your tank get the meltdown debuff, then that tank has the Hearth. Works best with a paladin. This way the offtank just picks it up and the main tank never dies. Hence no buff or heal

[Rosulm]

you forgot the no loot part too

[Diabloss39]

First hard mode kill of Iron Council was done this way.

[Lexodia]

im quite sure u'll overdps a friggin voidwalker so the no loot part is invalid
also as i remember it, if a hunter kills 1 mob and sends pet on other, as long as hunter gets 1 hit in on the 2nd mob, he'll get loot

[izzywizzybuzy]

Void walker isnt an ideal tank. Another method of doing this is to have a prot pally tank steellbreaker, when he gets the debuff bubble hearth with another tank picking it up. The one Pally misses out on the achievement for the rest of the raid though. Doesn't need to be a pally/bubblehearth but makes it easier and more funny They can get summoned back and still recieve loot.
