[Theory] Completely skip Constrictor Tentacles on Yogg-Saron

[Gihelle]

I've seen this happen once and will need to do more testing (happened on my last character I was running Uld 25 for the week), so tagging this as a theory.

If you kill the first Constrictor Tentacle that spawns at the beginning of P2 instantly as it spawns (did it as a Hunter with Explosive Trap), no more Constrictor Tentacles will spawn for the rest of the fight. It is a minor exploit at best, but Yogg is such an annoying fight to solo anything helps making it a bit more bearable, right?

I imagine that's possible with almost every class, I can't seem to think of one without any non-targettable AoE off my head. Unfortunately I can't test myself till next tuesday, so if people want to try it out, that'd be great

I had this happen on my druid... I spammed Thrash and didnt even see the tentacle spawning. I instantly killed it. Unfortunately you keep getting the damage from the tentacle, which killed me pretty fast with 8k Dmg/sec.... but tentacle damage was nerfed and isnt that deadly anymore, so this could be neat

I'll try if I can get it to work again this weekend

...duoing it could be very easy...

It can already be soloed quite easily. I've done it for the past two week on a 561 hunter, 558 shadow priest and a 549 guardian druid.

I was referring to a possible exploit; you can't solo Yogg while in the brain box (as you can't pull it), but if you have someone else pull it & immediately initiate the fight, you could have someone kill the brain instantly.
