Loot raid bosses without getting saved.

[joakimmen]

My first time posting something like this!

So I was asked to solo Alysrazor for a friend so he could get Do a Barrel Roll.
I pulled and he stood on the side doing nothing and he didnt touch the boss at all, just AFK'd on the side and let the boss kill him. Then when the boss died he could roll on the drops but didnt get saved! Should work for any boss I guess.

All you need to do is not attacking a boss but be present during the pull!

Just delete if its a repost, I couldnt find anything about it so I posted.

Pce.

Edit: Tried it today and apparently it was just a bug in my friends calendar not showing he got saved. Sorry.

You seriously need a vid to be shown how to enter a raid, stand in one spot and not touch anything?

I'm wondering if he get the achivement desired. as far as i know this archiv cant be done if you are dead when the firehawk die.

joakimmen, going to ask, because I have more interests in it than the loot/save ID:

did your friend receive the achievement while dead?

No he'll have to be a part of the fight in order to recieve achievements.

You can get it even if you're dead however you'll need to damage the boss so that you're a part of the fight.

Is this the same bug as the onxia one or is it different? because i've seen 2 threads about killing onyxia without getting saved but they seem to be deleted or something, or maybe the links are broken?

They are in a different section which you can't access.

Oh, and to answer your question; no, they are not the same.

I had a buddy that jumped into the Elagon pit in Raid Finder. He died before the fight started, got loot for killing the boss, and could still get loot from him the next time he ran it (before reset).

Not sure if it was lucky, but if what the OP is saying is true, that would explain it.

I believe that this may have credibility. Raids work differently than a world boss. The world boss you will not recieve loot unless you attack the boss. A raid, you dont need to damage the boss. take, healers for example. if this was the case half the healers out there would never receive a lockout on certain bosses. This could be used as an exploit on raids with important loot, such as, kael'thas or onyxia etc. Have one toon go in and do nothing, another to kill the boss. and you could continue to repeat it. Now this would only be useful i guess if you have a friend(s) that will kill it on multiple toons for you. The uses of this are definitely limited compared to those other tactics. But im sure it could be useful to some people with lots of friends that will kill bosses for them like that.

Imo, probably has something to do with being flagged for the raid mob in question.

A loose example would be being flagged for pvp after you heal/rez a flagged ally, or damage an enemy.

So I'm guessing you are flagged for lockout if you attack it, or assist an ally who is flagged by the encounter. Though, since you are still in a raid group in the same instance, you can roll on loot that drops, despite not being flagged for the boss.

A good question though would be; that since now most player buffs act as auras in cast while in party(a lot of them disappear if the caster of said buff leaves the party/raid) could your afk friend get locked out if he/she buffed you inside the instance.
