Blood DK - Despawn bosses

[cheshirethief]

This may be a simple trick, but I've used it to despawn bosses for fun and profit.

Step 1) Have 60 Runic Power before you run to the boss
Step 2) Pull with Dancing Rune Weapon
Step 3) Boss despawns, enjoy!

It works for me on every boss I've tried (all ZA bosses, a lot of bosses in normal Heroics, and Argaloth in Baradin Hold). I've not tried on all bosses (haven't taken my DK to a real raid yet), so it may not work in raids, but it DEFINITELY works in Heroics.

Use it to skip certain bosses, explore parts of the instance, aggravate your bad pugs, the options are limitless!

All of those methods are working as intended and are not for the Death Knight class.

Get the **** out.

Oh, I actually just noticed I quoted the wrong guy, I do this all the time on the forum, it was directed towards Dellion.

Thanks for contributing, the more you know, the better.

This guy clearly doesnt play as a DK...
Its a exploit cuz DKs are not supposed to have spells related to remove aggro like the ones you said, those are not DK spells, so its good for us to have something to use in solo without being engine/alch or NE...
If u pull a boss with ghouls for example... after they die the boss aggros you..
Good contribution +Rep for u mate.

Well usefull or not. It is something that is not intended by blizzard, and therefore fits.

Wish people would stop changing the rules of a post by what they feel it usefull to them.
I play a DK, did not know this, and will not have fun waiting for you to join my pug to piss you off.

Thanks.

how do you want to get 60 rp be4 boss :S

[Grimgut]

i did not know this and this might be very usefull if u wanna get to solo'able bosses but some other boss is in the way. might come in handy!

btw melkbus , critters! I don't think it's kinda possible to get 60rp without mobs. Bone shield, HoW & DnD can be used but aren't even close to 60

[cheshirethief]

Short answer is yes--fight a few mobs first.

[mzrak]

You can get to 60rp. but that involves having the potions from the DK starting zone. what you do it pop the pot, then horn of winter, then DRW, and there you go

[pcxnet]

This might not be an exploit or whatever, but its still useful to know. I never would have thought of using that to pull a mob on my DK. Whereas things like Vanish, Invis and Feign death are pretty obvious..

[cheshirethief]

It -is- an exploit, though. Dancing Rune Weapon isn't an aggro drop mechanic.

Also, it doesn't work if you pull and then hit it--it HAS to be the first thing to hit the boss.

[ApostleO]

I discovered this as a glitch, more than an exploit. It isn't dropping aggro, because you never had aggro to begin with. The boss despawns, but respawns as normal, so it doesn't let you skip anything (other than possibly a boss you normally can't run past).

More than anything, it is just annoying because I loved pulling with DRW+Outbreak for 4 diseases up front and still have runes for 2 Death Strikes and 2 Blood Strikes.

This has been around since ToC, they fixed it in Icecrown time, and now it works again. I don't really see why I should give reputation to a previously discovered "exploit", so I shall not.
