Bug out LK (Potential for more!)

[Devilsdog]

While you're fighting the Lich King, if leave the Shambling Horror alive the fight bugs out when the LK uses his 1 shot ability. If you have DBM timers you'll see the roleplay bar count down...but nothing happens. Tirion won't even speak and you won't get ressed. Eventually you can release but when you run back in the fight is still in progress except the LK evades every attack, the only way to damage him again is to kill the Shambling Horror. When you run back in the LK & Shambling Horror will have no aggro table, you can sit on them without them aggroing back, their health pools will be the same as it was when you were killed.

This is the exploit, what I want the users of Ownedcore to try is to "drop the raid group" having only one person left in it and have them kill the LK on their own. What could this mean? Well it means you can have a group knock LK down to low HP and then have it soloed off by someone, doing this with alts would make farming the mount a lot quicker and easier. Another thing to try would be having people join in around then, so when everyone releases, no one run in, invite someone to your raid group and have them run in on their own to finish off the kill. Repeat with more alts, profit! Sadly I can't do this myself, someone in my raid group attacked the Shambling Horror when we ran back in, ruining the chance for me to do it myself.

Before anyone shouts out "No Theories!", I've provided the exploit and given a theory on its potential which isn't against the forum rules.

Yeah I've seen what people post here :P some people don't understand the rules and other people take them literally which leads to a lot of confusion.

i can confirm this bug, it happend to me a few weeks ago.
someone has to release and go back in to kill the horror

can confirm the bug as well, happens often to my groups when we just lust and nuke boss so fast. Due to no one ressing or the rp ending, we were able to release walk in and kill the lk. Was too iffy about trying anything such as solo killing it not in a raid group. Was also really scared to release because it was at 1 health stuck in rp and I didn't want to zone out if it died somehow haha.

It'll save you even though you left, like it does if you drop group in the middle of a boss fight.

This is not what the OP was about anyway. Please read before posting.

Its the exact same thing, dropping the group, eitherway you'll still have tagged the lk to get it where it is, which will put you on the herioc i.d, if the inving new people worked, that'd be great but as is this is one big theory.

Thanks for your useful post though.

Sounds pretty cool, so basically what you want to do is, have 2 (or more) people do LK, get him to 10% he kills the raid, everyone but 1 person leaves the raid after that person runs back in, and he solo kills the shambling horror + LK for a shot at the mount? Am I understanding this right? And (this may sound dumb) will LK be low HP for the people who leave the raid also or no?

I can confirm I had this happen during 5.1

There's no possible profit of this . Even if all members in the raid leav they'll get id when 1 person kills him as it's a heroic ID and works like Wotlk IDs (For those who don't now the ids back there were for everyone who took part in a raid together an managed to kill a boss . When someone out of the ID forms a new group to continue clearing it the ID will also change for everyone who took part first.)
