The overpowered Felguard Trick

[strec021]

So a video appeared yesterday on Warcraft Movies showing a short clip of a Felguard doing a huge amount of damage. Since it's already public, I'll tell how it's done.

Felguard with 4950% Damage Increase in Alterac Valley By oomp - World of Warcraft Movies

After some analysis of the movie, I determined that the buff is retrieved from Magister's Terrace.

1) Clear to Vexallus on normal or heroic mode (heroic mode is a bit faster, but trickier).
2) Create a macro similar to this: /target pure energy /petattack.
3) Make sure your felguard ONLY auto attacks to get maximum benefit (energy spawns are % based).
4) Start attacking boss and whittle him down to 80%. When the first energy(s) spawn, hit your macro until they are all dead. Then set your pet to auto attack the boss while spamming your macro.
5) This is the important part: the stacks disappear AFTER the boss dies, so the key is to take the first 4 waves of adds, then DISMISS your felguard.
6) Either kill the boss or run to the entrance and get back in.

A side note on how to make this easier:
- Take a dps with you that can hold agro on the boss and whittle it down themselves. Set your felguard on the adds and then you can kill all 5 waves. You and the dps then kite the boss to the entrance. On heroic mode, this will net 10 stacks per run out. or 500%. The guy in the movie did this 10 times apparently.

It seems like a lot of work, considering the buff only lasts 30 seconds, but have fun!

Lazy leecher asking for elite, fun one.

Any bosses that can be soloedby using this? :P

I'd like to point out that this buff remains even in arena, but obviously using it in arena would be pretty much an instant ban if they report you.

A quick elite would be nice.

Shouldnt this work for hunter pets as well?

Not much point putting in Elite. It's been posted on MMO-Champion.

nice one. +5 rep
As Hunter its extremely easy as u can feign death after dismissing ur pet. AND u can power up all 5 Pets u cann carry around, to summon them one after the other in Bossfights.
Another bonus, if u have a good PC. Hunters can get the buff thereself and stack it with FD and get portet to the instance an start the fight, u may have 20-15 sec if ur good. but that would be some crazy seconds ^^

I'd like to add that this works thru respecs, joining arenas /RBGs, swapping pets and dieing (if your pet is dismissed)

This is pretty cool. Also warlocks can get this on all 5 pets, although it takes some time, about 3 mins for 10 stacks once you are able to do it smoothly.

But the biggest problem I found is that if you get 99 stacks, it does also 30k damage every second! I don't get it how that 1 vs 5 lock's pet isn't taking more damage in the vid. I tried to solo Gamon but my pet dies in 5 seconds just from the stacks. Unless there would be heavy healing or possibly some other buff that would reduce damage taken?

Unfortunately, it seems some people did get suspended for this. Usual 'bug exploitation' email. 3 days.
