    Binding Shot on H Garrosh - Intermission 1

    Quick question for you hunter types (since our hunter doesn't have an account here):

    We're working on H Garrosh 10 and our intermission 1 tactic currently calls for binding shot to AOE stun one set of three Embodied Doubts. Seems awesome in theory, but in practice it fails about 50% of the time, causing a wipe. It typically fails in one of three ways:

    1. Stun doesn't go out at all
    2. Stun only affects 2 of the 3 mobs (it seems consistent which one isn't affected, so we plan around this)
    3. Binding shot ends up on the roof of the temple (above the mobs)

    It's being used on the left-side adds closest to Garrosh (as facing from the spawn point toward Garrosh).

    I was curious if there were any specific tricks to get this to work more reliably or if anyone had a more successful experience using binding shot on a different set of adds.

    Thanks

    I use Binding Shot + Ice Trap...its very useful to see the orcs die under the Giant Fire Death Wheel

    Arent those mobs stationary? As in, the targets need to move in order for Binding Shot to actually stun them.
    Maybe glyph Explosive trap?

    If targets move 5 yards from the arrow they are stunned for 5 sec

    I don't see how could this work on a pack of mobs that is just sitting there and casting, you should search for an alternative solution.

    From my limited experience on the fight I've been able to stun 2/3 adds in a group as well.

    You can force the stun by placing the adds on the outer circle of the indicator.

    The stun from Binding Shot only triggers when the tether between the arrow and the target snaps if the target moves away a set distance from the arrow. However it's possible that targets with really big hitboxes get stunned right away because the center of the hitbox is just out of the tether's range. A well placed Binding Shot can definitely stun 2 of the 3 Embodied Doubt. I personally never bothered stunning 3 of them at the same time because I have a free interrupt for the 3rd one along with other raid members who can stun.

    What I would suggest is letting him do the same thing, make him master stunning 2 of the adds instead of all 3 and just interrupt the 3rd one. I have very little experience in 10 man but I'm assuming he can kill all three adds before a cast goes off if he does it properly. He needs to make sure he saves enough focus and Fervor/Dire Beast if he uses one of those talents.

    Another alternative which I think it too risky and may not even work (because again, very little 10 man experience) is burning one down as quick as possible before the cast goes off, stunning 1 add, and interrupting the last one. But this means you can't AoE/cleave and need to single target them down one-by-one. If your DPS isn't high enough one cast at minimum will go off. If you go for a ''zerg'' method like this I suggest getting a Fox pet as well. It provides an AoE -50% casting speed debuff which I've grown very fond of over the past few weeks.

    Great, but the only Orc in the phase he's talking about is Garrosh himself.

    It may be possible to get all 3 stunned with Binding Shot, but most likely you will only get 2 stunned on average. If someone else has an AoE stun that isn't using theirs I would let them. You aren't going to be reliable.

    Not sure how long they are up in 10 man and how often they cast, but an AoE silence/interupt would work too.

    Despite what's being said here you can 100% stun all 3 100% of the time if you play it properly, I'm the first stun on the back left every week.

    Thanks for the pics... us hunters in my guild weren't assigned to stuns because we thought we could only get two, so we never experimented. This is good to know if some is out.

    Dang this is good, I didn't know you could pull the far one off dropping the shot so far away!

    Retarded hitboxes OP

    What dela said, its definitely possible to stun all 3 with binding, was doing it consistently every pull on progression since we have the longest aoe stun in the game. Wait for first cast to almost finish > stun all 3 with binding > wait for 2nd cast to almost finish and scatter + silence 2 of the mobs and focus down the third before it gets to finish a second cast. BW came up in temple without cdr on progression.

    Dela's screenshots are correct

    I honestly had no idea the arrow would tether to the mob that far away. The few times I've done it on accident it was from me placing the arrow at the complete opposite side pretty much behind the back 2.

    Good to know though.

    I just want to know why French guilds always have techno music with girls singing incomprehensible lyrics as the norm. :P

    On topic, binding shot has always been good for instant stuns if you know how to use it. I used Binding shot to stun Lei Shen orbs because I knew exactly where the DK was going to mass-grip them to...because our monks were all mistweavers and bad at leg sweeping. Unfortunately, in 5.3 (IE, the middle of the tier for most people) they took it and gave it to MM...thankfully reverted this tier. That had a little more leeway in that the orbs were guaranteed to move away and stun themselves if you didn't land it correctly, but I got it 95% of the time.

    I was always under the impression I could only get 2/3 adds; thank you for this!

    I guess I'm one of those guys. Binding shot followed by glyphed explosive trap?

    Nice SS with the magic spot, but anyway if you miss the stun you can just Interrupt the add left with Counter Shot, no big deal there. You should wait for the last time to interrupt the add left (depending on your latency) so the add will start the cast again at the same time of the other 2 adds.
    That’s what I do, Zoggosh. I think good.

    I always just place my bind so the edge touches two mobs and the third one gets stunned every time due to retarded hitboxes. Did it first time on accident and it's never failed me.

    No need to be an elitist about it. By all description of the ability it is not supposed to work that way. The only way one would really find out about it is to have it happen by accident (as it did for me).
