Grim Batol HC Erudax skip adds and shadow gale

[chrippa123]

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster, please have mercy if I do something wrong. Today I was doing some HCs with the guild, at the last boss in Grim Batol (Erudax) we split dps on the two adds that spawn, 2 dps went on left add, tank and third dps went on left add. After shadow gale we went to pick up the adds where they spawn and noticed that when this boss is tanked at a specific location his shadow gales does not work and therefore there will be no adds. This makes this not too easy encounter easier then deadmines normal.. Its tank and spank only. I have not been able to verify this a second time yet. The location where the boss should be tanked are directly in between two braziers where you usally buff up before the fight, warning dont tank the boss to far past theese towards the stair because then it will reset. (Check pics below for location and what the braziers looks like).

The steps we did during our fight was,
1. Start the fight as usual
2. Wait till Erudax starts casting Shadow Gale, endure it
3 Have tank run the boss to the location marked in the pictures
4. Easily kill the boss tank'n'spank mode and enjoy your loots!

Im sorry if I wasnt clear enough, it should be in between 2 braziers. Braziers are purple. Ah yes I forgot to mention the achievment.

I just did this boss on heroic and there is NO POSSIBLE way you can endure it LOL

[chrippa123]

I didnt mean endure it as in not stand in the middle of it, do as ur supposed on the first shadow gale and then do it the exploit way, might just be able to start the fight by tanking him there, im not sure.

Could you please explain a little better. Im sorry if your english is bad. I'll rep if i can understand whats going on.

Tested in a guild run for several wipes, can not yet confirm, perhaps hotfixed or just a much more rare and random bug. Will attempt again soon.

[chrippa123]

How can you not understand what Im saying? Look at the pictures! Have the boss tanked in between (IN THE MIDDLE OF) the two braziers/fires/purple lights whatever you want to call them and this will make his Shadow Gale not work and therefore there will be no adds either.

[Bossqwerty]

I can't get this to work either.

[SipyCup]

the adds spawn right after the first shadow gale, how do you endure the first shadow gale and then pull him back before adds spawn

[Syncness]

Have not been able to reproduce this, perhaps you need to almost pull him out of reset range?

Didn't get to reproduce, may be a rare / onetime bug.
