Garalon Pheromones Exploit

[qtpiezx]

This has some potential because as a monk you can then port back into the garalon arena, let another monk take it, he trancendes out lays some more, wait for cd to finish and trancendence back in. you could keep doing this all the time with a few monks.

Bad idea, for every stack of pheromones on the kiter the raid damage goes up so if only one person has it and it keeps going up eventually the raid will be taking so much damage you cant outheal it.

2 issues at hand with this exploit.

1) If you are attempting this, you will soon come to find that after the buff reaches 20 stacks, the damage will be so heavy it will start hurting all your healers. Once you cross 30 stacks, the raid will effectively start wiping.
2) No more than 10 seconds into the fight (which is the time it takes Garalon to move from his spawn point to the white wall) the fight will reset. Every time Garalon ventures out of the room, he resets. We've had several people AFK, only to have these survive because the boss resets when he tries to leave the "sandbox" where you fight him.

Sure, this is an exploit, but please read the forum rules next time -- posting useless things are prohibited

I still disagree, And it has potential to go beyond what it is. And therefore not usless. With 2 monks this can be done. ESPECIALLY if you can pass pheramones through the barrier. But more likely having 2 people on the outside to alleviate the debuff. Getting around the boss despawning may just be a matter of playing with toon positioning. Don't think you should call it useless unless it proves to be so. And so far I see non of your findings.

Have you ever actually killed Garalon on normal/heroic? If you have, your comprehension of what is happening is tremendously bad.

You deal with the debuff by running around the room. Long before space becomes an issue, he wipes the raid through a one-shot-entire-raid-mechanic (aka. enrage timer).

Where is the usage for this exploit? You cant avoid pheromone damage to the raid, as it is raid wide mechanic.

Its usage is only putting pools outside the designated arena, and this is unnecessary for the reasons described above.

Useless exploit.

the spell Aura of pheromones' damage increase roughly has a 200 yard range. I did this on my pally, by pulling the boss and running out of the barrier before it spawned (durp) about half way thru the instance the raid was still killing the boss, and my stacks weren't an issue.

But then he would despawn in 20 seconds

unless your raid can kill him within (being generous) 1 minute, you will 100% die from this and the boss will reset. It is a cool find to get beyond the barrier, but as far as a mechanic is concerned, there is no real benefit from it, you will end up draining all your healers mana to the point of being unhealable and causing a wipe.

This would not work in normal or heroic, it's just not viable.

[Madripper]

Just a thought:
What if you run far enough, so that the debuff doenst apply to the rest of your raid, and just die. Garalon will probably target someone else, and there will be no pheromones.

[themuffin0]

So, to recap the claims:
1. Running far enough away from the arena will make it so the aura of doing raidwide damage from pheromone stacks will fall off.
2. Garalon may or may not despawn.

I have seen it where someone with pheromones dies and the buff stays on the dead body. Also, wouldn't the tanks have to be in front of garalon to keep him from stomping? Wouldn't this be impossible if Garalon is stuck half way across the fence?

Tanks not taking the swipe does not result in stomp but increased fury stacks. If there's no raiddamage going on, however, this wouldn't mather. But i'm still convinced this 'exploit' is useless and will keep thinking that untill someone proves me wrong. All this talk is just speculations.

[alucard1]

When someone dies with pharamones, garalon will proceed to stand over you and teabag your corpse.

Even if you managed to get 200 yards away to stop the aura applying to your raid, he will follow you, and despawn when he leaves the area.

This isn't much of an exploit, more of a way to despawn him incase of a wipe so you can mass res... that's as much use as you can get from this.
