Turrets During Saurfang

[Varithimas]

So i have been hearing alot about raids doing this. When someone gets the mark they hop in one of the 4 turrets and sit there and it no longer leeches life.

Does blizzard intend on fixing this and will blizzard doing anything to players who use this to their advantage? Just wondering if anyone has heard anything and your views upon it.

[omein]

That is clearly exploiting and I assume they would ban you.

[Varithimas]

Are they gonna fix it? Did they say anything about it in a blue post?

[lordlight]

This sounds like an exploit and might get banned hammer for tring this

[Yizren]

i think the strat where they get the mark and jump of the edge and suicide is alot better

[Narfwak]

It's not much better than just letting the first mark die, which is your alternative for similar results. It doesn't afford you an epic advantage and lots of guilds do it so I highly doubt they're gonna ban anyone over it.

[Varithimas]

Yeah i have been hearing about alot of different guilds and pugs doing it, sounds like people have been doing it for along time. Was just looking for a variety of feedback.

[Awai]

Shh, Blizzard's spies are everywhere.

It's exploitation by the way.

Lol... A bunch of people do it so they won't ban you!!! Ya right.


The encounter isn't difficult without having to cheese it as well. Whenever people in my guild tell me about this strat, I simply tell them I know about it, and we won't further trivialize a fairly otherwise enjoyable encounter. if you don't raid for a challenge, why are you raiding? Go farm your heroics if you want free epics.

Get a disc priest, a boomkin, and semi-competent people: Saurfang dies. Doing something outside the intent of the developers is exploiting. ToS says exploits can get you banned. Therefore, doing this can get you banned.

I think this is more for the guilds that are having trouble downing this boss due to poorly geared members, bad latency and the like.

All it does is save you a repair bill. If you jump back out before Saurfang is dead/despawns, you've still got the mark, and you still take damage.

I guess you could 'preserve' some bodies that way until 30% and a bloodlust, but really, is it THAT hard to just do him correctly so you get no marks at all?

Stand 10 yards apart + disc bubbles + intelligent kiters FTW? o.O;;

That being said it's unintentional, and they'll probably remove that function in the next bug patch - so don't make it a permanent part of your strat. Train your damned kiters to do their freaking job.

Also - now that you've mentioned it on a forum, people may start getting banned for it. So...grats to you?

[Nikoll]

first off, if they were going to ban people they would have already.

They have said nothing about it that i can find, but i do hope they fix it in the next patch otherwise people that have no business doing him HM will probably kill him HM.

[Thyce]

Deathbringer Saurfang is hard.

Fix'd for your sarcasm.

Ever see High Overlord Varok Saurfang wipe a full 40-man raid of level 70's back in BC?
Stellar.

Well im just throwing this out here. i have been hearing that alot of pugs have been doing this because of crap players and other things. What happens if your in a pug and someone does it? Would you be in fault if someone else did it and you were fighting it as the way it was intended?

One would think that only the person who did it would get the ban.

But all of the loot and badges DBS drops would probably be deleted though, depends on whether you get a tight ass GM or not (like the one that deleted my fucking Brewfest Kodo because it turned out that someone in the group had summoned him for the 26th time that day)

[Awai]

I hate saurpuss in 25man. Too much lag, low framerates and too many missclicks. Cant ever get my hurricanes off in time or in the right spots. Plus all the misstargeting lowers my dps too much.

I find disabling all my addons bar DBM and reducing my resolution to the smallest possible works well to give me smooth graphics.

Hopefully its like that where that person would only get the ban. Just wondering, if someone were to glitch that boss, only the loot from the boss would be deleted correct?

They wouldnt delete boss loot that for say you got off of marrowgar legitimately?

[Lysah]

Soulstone a paladin and have them DI > repop on mark targets also works if your guild needs it.

Umm... 5% of his health isn't trivial for the people having trouble with him. Having the person with the mark not die saves them another 5% they don't have to dps him down.

I doubt it, but I wouldn't put it past one of the more spiteful GMs.

After hearing and experiencing some horror stories I'm led to believe Blizzard only hires people who've been abused by trade trolls and elitist jerks.
