Heroic deathwing w/ all prior reg modes

[JaredKorry]

Just tried it today, same thing as nataliewright: It'll swap over, and DW will despawn as soon as he comes up.

Same here. Just tried it today.

ís this methode still working?

[Kefka911]

Tried it several times. Seems to no longer work.

Tried on several characters.
Not working....

He despawns after few seconds.

I can confirm they fixed this exploit.

As soon as the difficulty changes by the macro, the encounter begins on Heroic, Deathwing appears, yells "You have done NOTHING..." then suddenly disappears. Seems they implemented an after-check mechanism if previous bosses have been killed on HC or not.

Google Cache my friend

Start out on normal mode, talk to thrall to get the chat window open to start the encounter, and leave it open. Then right click your portrait and open up the raid difficulty tab, then hit one of these macros:

10 Man:


Code:
/click StaticPopup1Button1
/click DropDownList2Button3

25 Man:


Code:
/click StaticPopup1Button1
/click DropDownList2Button4
It'll switch the difficulty right as it starts the encounter. This should work with any other bosses which are engaged via a dialog npc.

Fixed.

I'm really missing this workaround, I'm already at over 220 runs of heroic Dragonsoul, over 3.3 days playing time and it's driving me insane.

It works for "Trial of the Grand Crusader".
