I don't understand? Can you explain more clearly :S?
sap the mob and spam taunt it ? Are you saying that paladins taunt's damage doesn't break sap?
Like Caseyy said, could you please elaborate more, this is intriguing
Fixed Today.
"The Skeletal Slave in the Pit of Saron has had the ability to drop the Battered Hilt and other random drop epics removed."
how can a paladin "solo" it when sap is involved?
He is referring to the bug where Repentance isn't broken by hand of reckoning.
Basically adding use and context to a pre-existing bug.
1) Go to Pit of Saron
2) Repentance a mob
3) Spam Hand of Reckoning until it dies
4) ???
5) Hilt!
You can't kill it with repentance > taunt since the mob got 302k hp and your taunt only does 4k max dmg with 8 sec cd, 60/8 = 7 taunts max, 7x4000=28000, unless you can kill the mob with 4 shadow bolt interupts (hammer, silence, rep, holy wrath) then it's possible, else you just die from shadow bolt dmg.
Do the impossible, see the invisible
Row row, Fight the power.
1. Repentance the mob
2. Use Hand of Reckoning as much you can!
3. Turn Evil the mob when Repentance runs out.
4. Repeat from step 1.
1. Repentance
2. Taunt spam till 5 seconds before rep drops
3. Stun, Divine Storm, Judge, Repentance again
Rinse, repeat. Someone posted that not to long ago, works fine. Tested.
It's extremely slow.
PS: Hilt drop rate still blows it feels like. Been 2 manning all the trash and leaving bosses alive, not a single epic or hilt. Did it for about 2 hours
LOL, this would take so long. You can outheal dmg with judgement of light, + seal of light and spam flash of light on yourself everytime it proccs. Should take about .. 1/10 as much time, and this can be done, doing it while waiting for random heroics myself.
Remember Sacred Shield, stun, silence if BE etc etc. And shadow ress aura. It's pretty easy actually.
I doesn't actually take that long if you combine normal attacks also.
I'm a 4k dps paladin when soloing and it takes 3-5 minutes probably.
1) Run up on the mob and use Hammer of Justice when he starts casting Shadowbolt.
2) Using a seal without a DoT (anything but Vengeance/Corruption), dps him hard during the stun. The DoT from the talent won't break the repentance.
3) After the stun wears off and he starts casting shadowbolt, cast Repentance.
4) Turn Evil on him if he has you targeted.
5) Spam Hand of Reckoning until HoJ is off CD and Repentance is worn off.
6) When HoJ comes off cooldown and when Repentance wears off, stun him again and dps hard, again with no DoTs from seals.
7) When stun wears off, Repentance again.
Keep repeating until dead.
You can also squeeze in divine plea easily while waiting for HoR to refresh.
It's not that slow, doing it like that.
Me and 3 guildies went through Heroic PoS today 4 full times (no bosses) and didn't get a single hilt. So if you can get 2 per hour when it takes 5 minutes to kill a single mob...you are quite possibly luckiest person in the world...of warcraft.
