I'm On A Boat - Easified.

So. Me and my buddies were just doing ICC25 heroic. And I was in charge of jumping to the other ship; completely normal, right? We aren't meant to do the achievement, ridiculous to try it on 25 hc. So how did we get it?

Basically, once I hit him, I went back to the ship. To the edge. Saurfang did not reset yet. So I was like, "okay, let's see what happens, make this a tad harder, more % damage." So I threw Heroic Strike at him.

He actually began WALKING towards our damn gunship. In midair he vanished and appeared again on his ship. I conituned throwing stuff like Taunt, and suddnely, he walkeed .. and appeared on our ship! Oh shit. We went and continued to attack him until 50 stacks, where our tanks got oneshotted. Suddenly, Muradin tanks him! Both unable to die. We were like "Uh .. okay rofl." DPSed the ship down, all adds getting owned, the 3 dps that were on the ship just afked there and killed the mage, and we got the achievement.

So, from what I can speculate, basically this is a bug, most likely an AI improvement (and in icc de-improvement) in cataclysm expansion. So he tries to cross it; basically, it's preferred that maybe a ranged would do this. Leap onto the enemy ship, hit the boss and grab a good aggro, run back, go to teh most edge, and continue nuking the hell out of him.

Eventually he'll appear right next to you; run to Muradin, and let him grab aggro. (Kinda not as effective now in cataclysm, but many, many people are going for the achieve. And you can make this even easier with this .. exploit? Is this an exploit? I assume it's exploitation of a bug .If it's an exploit, do move it. I can't really tell if it is or not.)

Enjoy your achieve.

Why is it so hard for you to just speak like a normal human being? Who are you trying to impress with your leetspeak and swears on a bug/exploit forum?

No pictures? And how is any of this relevant to getting the Achievement? You still have to use the cannons on the other ship, and kill the Ice mage, without going over to the other ship more than twice per person.

Oh woops, my bad. I really don't know how I wrote shit instead of ship. And to answer your question; the point is, with Saurfang being forever tanked by Muradin, several DPS can simply /AFK in the enemy ship and nuke the mages as they come. This way, you have to absolutely do nothing but nuke the ship and you're good. It takes like, 10 seconds after the encounter started to start this bug, no problem.

And err, beg your pardon? Leetspeak? Leetspeak is using numbers to replace words (example L0L, 1337, 3P1C!). I didn't use any of that; and if you mean using capitals and comas, I always use that.

I will hopefully have a chance to test this later on, it sounds a little too good to be true.

If you see Saurfang -trying- to cross the ship (walking out of it's boundaries, walking in mid-air and then reappearing in his ship) that's great. Just keep throwing stuff at him so he won't reset, and then he'll just walk across to you. Please note there's a fine chance you're gonna die a horrible death, you have to make it quick so that Muradin grabs aggro, -and- that nobody is stupid enough to DPS Saurfang. (We did that; four top dpses got owned after he oneshot me, the tank.) Don't even try it; he just gets load sof hp back back at 4.5 mil somehow.

I knew I should've taken screenshots.
