10% more Damage on Al'akir

[Squall67]

Hi
this is my first post (sry for my little bit English) and i don't know if it's a repost. Yesterday when we was trying Al'akir we have one try where we wiped in transition to Phase 2. After that we go again into the instance and we see that one add was spawned an it was still alive.
So before we start the boss again we have killed the Add and get a 10% Damage Bonus for 20 (?!) seconds in Phase 1.

So the Exploit is that when you wipe @ Phase 2 and no one has aggroed the add and you wipe the add doesn't respawn for the next try.

I hope someone can confirm this because we haven't tryed it again because we don't have much problems with Damage in Phase 1 but i think this will help some people especially for the hardmode. ^^

I can confirm this but i wouldn't say it's a exploit, of course it is useful. Al'akir is the easiest final boss in my eyes anyway. It will most likely be fixed soon anyway.

This isn't an Exploit, it's intended....

The achievement even wants you to keep an add up untill the end, then kill the add -> Kill al'akir while the debuff is still up.... This is not an exploit.

He is saying that sometimes when you wipe during phase 2 (when stormlings spawn), you can come back and they will still be up, allowing you to kill 1+ for a damage boost during phase one. There is not supposed to be stormlings in phase one.

The achievement is incredibly easy btw, just need to not kill the last stormling thats up before you push phase 3, have the tank keep aggro on it, then kill it when boss has only a few hp remaining.

Yeah, its definitely a bug. I actually thought about posting this a while back but assumed someone already had, plus wasn't sure if it was still working because we don't really wipe on al anymore. Biggest advantage I would see would actually be being able to stack up the debuff faster and more efficiently in phase 2.

Ummm what? You do realize that Al'Akir heroic is the hardest fight in the game
