Em what? First time i heared that turtles can eat scorpions. Only thing eaten i have seen was a flamewalker with 7 dogs on him.
- Fire Scorpion and Flamewaker corpses no longer provide loot or reputation when they’re eaten by Hell Hounds and Fire Turtles.

No, an exploit is abusing a game bug. I think It was Ensidia that used 25 soul stones in TotC. Not exploiting ANYTHING, but just something that was overlooked by developers. Originally Posted by Jinna

I think they'll need the 18 minutes for 290,5 Million hitpoints

Oddly enough they decide to increase the enrage timer, hmhmhmhmh. Why do that if the fight wont last 15mins? Originally Posted by Toinouze

for guilds with low dps that are carried by their healers? there was a thread last night active with people discussing the nerfs, and some member of paragon showed up, telling people they didn't even know about the enrage timer, since they had yet to wipe to it Originally Posted by SEPHY

You don't need all those cooldowns. A properly specced turtle can tank it just fine. Considering Blood of the Rhino increases all Healing done to the pet by 40% and you have every healer in the raid spamming it, and also Avoidance (a passive ability to all hunter/warlock pest) reduces Area of Effect damage by 90%, and Domo's scorpion cleave counts as AoE damage.Proof? Look, he still melees his main aggro target, be it a prot warrior or a turtle. Do you know how hard a turtle gets hit? Cleave damage aside, that turtle is going to get one shot unless you chain cooldowns, and I mean like 6 Disc Priest worth of cooldowns. Until somebody shows video proof of a turtle tanking Fandral for more than like ~20 seconds I'm not believing it; even though I doubt many guilds did this.
So the fight goes like this
--Warrior pulls boss
--Turtle taunts off warrior
--Entire raid stands BEHIND scorpion
--Entire raid gains 100% damage buff
--Every healer spams Turtle Tank
--Domo turned into Patchwerk style DPS/healing race because he never leaves Scorpion form
--Boss Dies
--????
--Profit!

It's from the TCG card Withdraw, from the Heroes of Azeroth set. Originally Posted by PlatedPriest

Boss is immune to the pet's taunt, and always has been. I'm also not sure how the pet will keep up threat the entire time, he can't be a target of a rogue's misdirection, and the DPS/Healers will still generate threat (albeit at a slightly reduced rate, that's part of the concentration buff.) Have you done this fight, and have you done the fight on heroic? Have you seen a specced turtle tank it just fine? Or are you making assumptions? Originally Posted by Aleom
Regardless, it's a moot point now. The cleave hits the pet now, and even with the 90% reduction it's too much damage to heal through. That said, I still don't think it was possible for more than a few cooldown's worth of damage protection. Unless somebody releases a video we'll simply never know.
