"Ignore" Emalon adds.

[ieatglueandstuff]

Pretty easy really.

The overcharged blast spell which the emalon adds casts once they reach 10 stacks reads

With 10 stacks I believe they deal 240% damage, Sooo lets say it deals average 11k damage, 240% of 11k is about 25,000. Now, this obviously isn't THAT much, but it will most likely wipe everyone but your tanks.

Now for the fun part. Divine Sacrifice is a 11pt prot talent for Paladins. If you spend 2 more talents to improve it, it causes a 40% raid "shield wall" for 10 seconds. If you use this while in bubble, it will last for a total 10 seconds, absorbing 40% damage from everyone in the raid. (Until the "nerf" in 3.3 anyway).

Now for the "highly advanced math" part.

40% reduction of 25,000 is 10,000 damage. This means the Overcharged blast will deal just about 15,000 damage to the raid: Which means everyone SHOULD survive. Since he doesn't cast Lightning Nova before atleast 10 seconds after this blast, that means the raid should be perfectly able to survive this.

Most raids has atleast 2-3 Paladins, this means the raid can more or less ignore DPS on the adds 2-3 times, making Emalon piss easy and also making the fight last shorter.

Might not be the most huge trick ever, however it's a neat trick to, well, perhaps make it even more speed run..

Enjoys.

Wait wait i think this has been done on like everything but Emalon. I.e Hardmode XT tantrums, Iron council hardmode to shield ur tanks...shit even Frozen blows by hodir. However i didnt know using a spell as it is intended was exploiting. Im going to post this new awesome exploit see what u do is level a warrior to 80 right then u use Shield wall when ur getting hit hard, totally amazing exploit.

I'd just like to bring up that Emalon isn't a hard fight at all for most groups. However, every now and then everyone has seen a group that epically fails hard on Emalon.

I just tried VoA 25, and we downed Koralon no problem, DPS was all well above 3k. No deaths or anything.

Wiped 3 times on Emalon then called it.

[Swordcaller]

rofl this is 100% common sense >.< at least move it to the guide section

[Galinda]

To all the Emalon isnt serious business whines.

Try earth wind and fire. Emalon does become serious business. Being able to burn emalon without having to swap to adds will drastically remove some of the difficulty.

[earthFlower]

how is this a exploit?

[Ssateneth]

Why are you guys even bothering? you guys are off topic. This isn't an exploit, it's working as intended. It's just some drawn out over complicated tactic.

Rogues just need 3 buttons... (SS, SnD,Evi..)

@Topic
Nice try to contribute

What happened to Rupture, the strongest DPS finisher Rogues have?

[Kretenoid]

Earth, Wind and Fire - achievement that might become ezmode if you do this, so the so-called "exploit", or call it a "guide" - whatever you prefer, is actually at least a bit useful if it really can absorb that massive amount of damage.

What happened to Rupture, the strongest DPS finisher Rogues have?

With best in slot gear, rogues drop rupture completely.

This thread contains epic fail and facepalm.

[kingralphus]

For some reason i thought the OP was talking about a way to just skip the adds and just zerg the boss,but it seems from alot of the replies here that he was talking about how easy the boss is...
I also noticed he said this is a "trick" rather than an exploit,but you guys seem to decipher it differently.

It's crazy that somebody would post a trick to share with other people,huh?

[Galinda]

This thread contains epic fail and facepalm.

To be fair, he's got all the abilties used in the combat rotation there.

[Excesum]

I just wish we had this nifty trick when doing the achievment Earth, Wind & Fire (Earth, Wind & Fire (10 player) - Achievement - World of Warcraft).

This would've been great help, so +Rep!

[Sayu]

Hence why I placed a "WoW Tricks" tag on the thread.

oh! so THAT'S why you posted it in the "EXPLOITS" section. makes perfect sense then.

Will this work on Dracula?
