[Death Knight] Lich King easy phase 1

[Glock3rZ]

I'll talk about :

-Necrotic Plague - Spell - World of Warcraft : Disease put by Arthas during his fight (phase 1 : 100% to 70%)
and
-Pestilence - Spell - World of Warcraft : DK's skill + Glyph of Pestilence - Item - World of Warcraft (glyph)

So you when you fight against the Lich king you will see some Necrotic Plague in the raid, if the player is dispelled when his closest "unit" is a mob, the plague will jump on this mob.


Now the bug :

If the plague is on a DK, and the DK got dispelled when his closest unit is a mob, the desease is consired as his own.
He can refresh her using Pestilence, the mob will keep the desease all the time! So you don't need to put all dps on him, you can focus Arthas and you don't have any "dps" issue during this phase.

You can see a DK using it on this video :

(the best example is a 2:20 : the desease is going to fade, and the DK refresh her using pestilence)

PS : Sorry for my poor english, anyway i hope it can help you

Like that? :P

[Glock3rZ]

yep ! +rep plz

[Zantas]

Don't ask for rep

[hp94]

Umm... Wow thats actually alot of damage... Can it be put on the Lich King?

[Glock3rZ]

no, i don't think so, mb i'm wrong !

[loloflol]

yo wanna get a 72 hours ban huh?

aniway if pestilence work on the disease it should spread but well its a bug^^

[Bon]

Not a bug, working as intended. It is actually how you are supposed to do ph1 by sticking on the LK and moving your raid so the disease doesnt jump and make arthas stronger

[BonutDot]

Not quite. The bug is that pestilence will sort of spread the disease if it has infected a deathknight previously.

Here is a rundown of how it works, since the original thread starter doesn't really know how the fight works.

1) Deathknight gets infected with the plague debuff
2) Deathknight quickly runs over to the big shambler mob
3) Someone in the raid dispells the plague - when dispelled, the plague jumps to a nearby mob = shambler
4) Plague now counts as a deathknight disease
5) Offtank for the shambler rounds up the smaller ghouls, or runs the shambler to where they are
6) Deathknight presses pestilience
7) Plague hits all of the ghoul adds, increases the ticking amount on the shambler - it does NOT increase the lich king's stackable buff.
Plague debuff on the shambler ticks for a buttload.

i don't see how this would be beneficial.

when you use pestilence does it gain a stack or just refresh the duration?

the whole idea of the fight is to let it continually jump between the little ghouls and the shamblers because every time it fades/target dies it jumps to a new one and gains a stack.

[Glock3rZ]

well watch the Blood Legion's movie, the phase 1 is about 5 minutes, and the Adept's one (with the bug exploit)... 2min ! Ghouls only have 400k hp, easy to kill...

[Bon]

Learn to read. Not an exploit.

[loloflol]

its an exploit ... it's not suposed to be refreshed by pestilence... or what? you cant do lich king without a DK.

[massacre]

clearly an exploit, stop saying it isnt

I found yesterday another trick in order to minimize problems that could give Infest supporting to everything the raid with
PW:S on having done the first tick of the magic it seems that if this one detects that it does not damage it removes itself automatic
avoiding to have to raise the life to the whole raid, certainly needs a priest disciplines to carry out it.
