Paragons of the Klaxxi - Avoid Aim

[Jamesmarcus]

This is probably well known, however due to a hotfix in 5.4.2, where Blizzard were addressing Hisek firing his aim off if he or the player died, any threat dump ability now drops Aim completely, and doesn't fire.

This includes vanish (Rogue), Spectral ***** (Priest), Invis (Mage), Feign Death (Hunter), think a feral druid has a talent for it as well. Any threat dump, essentially. It's saved us some trouble this week on HC.

Nope...it works since Patch 5.4.2 Hotfixes: December 11

"Paragons of the Klaxxi

Hisek the Swarmkeeper will no longer hit players with Fire if the channel effect of Aim is broken."

You're rooted when you're aimed. So how exactly are you moving out of sight?

[Jamesmarcus]

It did not work until 5.4.2. Perhaps on normal the aim is not a stunned root, but on heroic there is nothing you can do to get out of it. It's a hotfix in place to stop the premature Aim deaths by the person dying.

It has made farm kills easier - not sure if Shadowmeld is breaking it, as of yet.

This was an intended change in 5.4.2 as noted in the patch notes.

Ignore mckemo btw. He's obviously lying, because it wasn't possible before, since you can't move at all (even with things like Shadowstep or Blink) when you're an Aim target.

Been using Greater Invisibility since the beginning, and it's always worked.

We've been going at this in heroic for 6 weeks, it just NOW removes the thing. It has never done that before. Greater Invis has always helped with dmg reduction, but I dont think you understand. If you use it now, the spell wont even damage you or anyone else at all, if I understand it correctly.

This.

tl:dr:

BEFORE 5.4.2 : If you vanished Aim, the boss would shoot instantly and kill you if you didn't have dmg reduction (aka, hunters couldn't just Feign Death and get away with it). Also, if anyone was standing on the line they would take regular damage. You had to be sure you were alone and then vanish.

AFTER 5.4.2 : If you vanish Aim, the boss will not shoot, buf you will be rooted until the debuff goes away. But now even if there's people on the line, or if you don't have dmg reduction, you can vanish instantly.

tl;dr2 : not an exploit, working as intended. The end.
