No adds on path to Akil'Zon

[Jotylyn]

My first thread, as usual I tried a search and really nervous about posting.

In any case we were doing Akil'Zon. We started the gauntlet and unfortunately someone yelled one of our rogues was afk. He was standing right where you get ready to start the gauntlet run to Akil'Zon.

Since we had started we couldnt stop and to our surprise on the first wave of bird adds and mobs from behind they either aggro'd to him or something and despawned and none appeared again. We simply killed the trash all the way to the boss without any adds. One other interesting thing was the whole path didnt respawn after the allocated hour on our attempts at the boss.

Were going to try to reproduce what we did and hopefully Ill have a clearer understanding of how this happened.

Anyways, if it is old or well known I do apologise, and just really wanted to share something with the community.

Edited to include a pic.



The raid was approximately here when the adds behind and birds spawned. They despawned literally 3 secs after.

Edited again to include Vampiric161's post 6 explaining the situation TY Vamp =))

Anyway there are mobs that spawn behind you after you go around the corner and the scout sees you. They spawn about min after that. If the raid is in combat w/ trash mobs on the way to Akil'zon and 1 person is still back where the adds spawn and is not in combat and they aggro the adds then leave combat, whether it be via, vanish, FD, or death, those adds will count it as a wipe and despawn and will stop the spawning of further adds.

post a screenshot plz to indicate where the rogue was standing

I've been in a raid where the same thing happened on the way to Akil'zon. However, we couldn't work out why.

Did the rogue die ?

[Jotylyn]

No probs Ill try grab a shot of the layout. The rogue didnt die...the adds despawned before getting anywhere near a player. It looked as if the birds wanted to try and get to him and just disappeared almost 2 secs after spawning.

I will attempt to be very precise about the situation and what happened when I grab a pic.

Ahh awesome thanks vampiric =))

Im guessing he must of vanished after getting back to the computer. I updated my original post to include a pic. I roughly put where the rogue was located, but vamps post explains a great deal.

Much appreciated replies and I was only aware of the wall jump 'sploit. =))

[Weaverbeaver]

This is a pretty cool little exploit, hope I can use it soon

@Aradroth.
Zore was referring to Lordash12 "Thanks, this is a really good exploit and i will give you +rep." Kay?
+Rep to OP :P

[Kaan]

My raid has used a hunter to do a similar thing, he would start the event and feign death. The adds would bug out and despawn, then we wouldn't have to deal with them for the rest of the way up.

Ooo thanks

[Jotylyn]

Thank you all for the wonderful replies and help. We were able to get another ezymode run to the boss tonight with the extra information added to the thread. Very much appreciated =))
