Shade of Akama (Even Easier)

[oxymoron1c]

This is likely to be hotfixed soon so if you're guilds in BT get it while it's hot!

If you are familiar with the fight, the boss (Shade of Akama) doesn't become attackable until after killing many waves of mobs and whatnot. We just downed him, and this is not currently the case. We noticed as the first wave spawned that Shade of Akama was immediately moving towards Akama. And became attackable much too soon. This lead to us being able to down him in 1 minute and 6 seconds.

In Short: If you can get to Akama, kill him now, and you can save a few minutes.

Maybe not considered an exploit as you don't need to do anything to activate this bug that I know of. (Hopefully 100% repeatable) But I'm just trying to give back a bit to the community as I've been long time reader with nothing to give as my own.

100% Confirmed, though likely being fixed... right now

SoA is already the easiest fight in the game. :P

But, it's true. There was a glitch like that. We did him last night, however, and he didn't move (so they may have fixed it or it may be random)

He randomly bugs out. HOWEVER, if you somehow wipe on him and someone has wipe prevention up rez the rogues first.

Have the rogues stand near the channelers where they spawn, and when they do, you can distract them and stop the channeling. You have about a 1-2 second time frame to do this however. Now when you start the event and depending on how many you got distracted you can do it in about half the time.

Like with 3 rogues you can have shade of akama unbanished right from the start.
