Paragons of the Klaxxi (HC) Trick

[Saionara]

Hello everyone!

Attempting to contribute again, woo. Onto the ''trick'':

Paragons of the Klaxxi has 9 diffrent bosses, with diffrent abilities. The last, 9th boss in the order is Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver. One of his abilities (HC only) is called Reave.
This seems to cause alot of issues for guilds progressing this fight and there is a simple way to bypass it.

About 2 seconds into Kil'ruk's Reave cast, taunt him. This will make him continue to jump towards the target which he always does before casting Reave, but he won't cast it. He just comes running back to you. I have only been able to confirm this working with the monk taunt Provoke, so I'm not sure about other taunts. Regardless, if you have access to a monk tank, this will make the fight considerably easier.

Can't figure out a way to get a screenshot or some kind of proof of this working, but it worked for us.//Fixed//


EDIT.

Was in a raid again this evening, I noticed that ''Death from Above'' casted by the same NPC can be prevented by using this method. Just taunt him around a second before he lands, and he won't deal any damage to players he lands on.

Seems (imo) to belong in the guide section, unless you can elaborate on how its causing some unintended change in the fight.

[Eryx]

Yeah, please elaborate. I think I might missed something here, or do you mean taunting the boss is the "huge exploit" ?

[Saionara]

Derp, editing. Give me a minute.

Fixed it now, sorry.

[Sirdots]

Still trying to figure out how this is an exploit? Guide maybe

[Eryx]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with that. Moving thread to guides!

[Saionara]

I'd imagine bypassing a major mechanic would be defined as an exploit, but if you think it fits as a guide then so be it

What the f*** taunting the boss has to deal with being an exploit or not ? If you could one-shot a boss by taunting it, that would stand in the guide section ?

Good find tho, not gamebreaking but this kind of trick could be handy, same as the Nazgrim one. +rep

If you have gotten to this part of the fight you have basically beat it, but its a neat trick none the less. I'll see if our tank can test it out tonight.

Minor quality of life improvement on the final 2 minutes of the fight if you can reliably cause him to not use his Reave ability.

Fair enough & thanks

Fixed, updated the post with something I found out while realizing this was fixed.
