Aq20

[oramac]

ok, so we're doin AQ20 on our off day and we are having problems on general Rakkish or w/e his name is (the guy the NPC is supposed to tank). did they change something about the fight in the last patch? cuz it seems like the NPC isnt holding aggro for ****. like we had a warrior pull off him on white hits. are we just forgeting something? or did the fight get changed?

[Aerath]

They changed one minor detail...

The healing aura no longer causes threat.

You can basically count on the General switching between MT and Lt. Gen.

Which imo is a pretty good thing seeing how he can slaughter the Lt. Gen in a few unlucky hits.

I noticed a change the first time I did it, but once I came around again, it seemed fine... maybe it was just random bugginess, but the general and his minions held aggro just fine.

Depends upon streaks really. Sometimes he sticks to the general like glue, sometimes he doesn't. what we usually do is have most people on the lieut and then a few people watching tanks since they mitigate okay. Our best kill was when he never lost agro and the general just melted...our worst kill was when the lieut couldn't hold agro for a darn even with the warriors sitting on auto attack.

Has anyone ever glitched during this fight? We have yet to take the general down because either we make it to the 7th wave and wipe OR we complete a phase and the next one never comes. We sat around for a little bit and then 2 waves came at us at once.

We tried it a couple more times and it continued to glitch. We finally gave up and just did a few bosses in ZG since it was already late.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Make sure you aren't standing on the rock ledges, Kidaken. IIRC, that's what causes what you're describing.

Everyone should be on the dirt ground, not on the rocks.

And AQ20 stands for ... ?

*runs away embarassed*

[Dynatos]

The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, a 20-man raid instance in southern Silithus.

AQ40 is The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, a 40-man raid instance with its entrance near the one for AQ20.

Dynato...Thanks for the info. I'll have to make sure we don't have anyone on those ledges. I believe we had a few hunters standing up there.

Now are those rocks/ledges something we need to just avoid all together or is it just when the event starts?

Thanks for the help.

[Dynatos]

Standing on the rocks at any time can cause the bug with the encounter. I'd suggest staying off of the rocks at all times.

FYI, it's similar for the Alchemy bosses in ZG. If you stand on the thorns in their little alcove, it will cause the encounter to bug.

Side note, same thing with Ossiran and Moam once you kill Rajaxx.
Those bosses + people on ledges = tears of sadness.

Hey guys...Thanks for the replies and help.

I now know the secret...more DOTs, less rocks. :grin:

Applies to any boss.
Person with aggro + any form of ledge/rock/whatever = evade.

Never ever allow anyone to stand on anything remotely elevated when killing a mob. Or in water, for that matter.
