Headless Horseman SOLO!!

[Aurum]

Dont know if you guys have seen this but guess what class?

YES Warlock ofc!:wink:

Its a Filefront link so hope its okey: http://files.filefront.com/Solo+the+Headless+Horsemenavi/;8912178;/fileinfo.html

I dont think its the overpoweredness that does this. Just a smart way of using/abusing the enviordment.:smiley:

[Polaba]

Skeptical, but going to watch it anyway (about the being able to solo, not the "cleanliness" of that link :)

Was too skippy for me, I'll have to take your word for it.

[Lothaer]

skippy??? the picture is perfect stop complaining ROFL.

very well done too completely legit imo.

[Twoflower]

legit indeed ^^

normaly they do these tricky around some clipping bugs, but this is around a actual fence :)

But did you really roll on the floor laughing? Think about it.

And that was in regard to my internet, not the picture quality. I had WoW & Fraps & Itunes & 3 boxes of mozilla, so it was a bit skippy.

Edit: Just watched it...

*eyes widen*

[rottentomato]

wow....thats all...just wow...one of the more impressive videos ive seen in a while.

[Mesmer]

nice ... makes me want to go back and level my itty-bitty lock

[swaldman]

Nifty. Arguably an exploit, given that the player can jump up there while the horseman can't - but maybe just "creative use of terrain" :-)

More impressive is the way he deals with all the pumpkins. Worth a watch.

[moopy]

*giggle*

Go go warlocks, you crazy mofos, long may it continue.

Wow . . .

Well between this video and a few other "Warlock Solo's XXXXX" videos - I think that all the "Warlocks are OP/IMBA" threads have all just ended . . . and the answer is . . .yes, yes they are . . . so stop arguing that they're not lol

(that's right, I'm went there - I know you were wondering who'd say it first!)

Nice work to that guy, dot's and mob pathing ftw!

[rgirty]

Could a hunter not do much of the same?

Yay! Someone with a brain!

Haven't seen the video, but a hunter does have to have LOS for attacking.

Quite possibly - though a hunter would have to stand still and shoot unless you're doing stings and arcane shot on the run - then that fight would take for friggin ever! The rest as you know has to be done standing still. And IMO a hunter running back and forth doing arcane, sting, then a multi then back to running etc would be much more difficult, take much longer, and then theres the whole mana thing (no problem with a lock just tap, then siphon back the health you lost). It's the longevity of the fight that would come into play with pretty much any class but a lock and maybe a boomkin (innervate). I would think a boomkin would be the next viable choice, then a shadow priest with VE and VT would do better than a hunter as they could at least regain some mana (though VT is kind of expensive mana wise isn't it?).

[swaldman]

The main advantage for the lock was that they could keep up heavy dps while constantly moving. I can't think of any other ranged class that can do this. I guess a hunter might restrict themselves to instant shots... but they are still tied down more by the need for line of sight. The other advantage that a lock has is self-sufficiency, in that they can "recharge" themselves with Drain Life.
This is where that terrain seems rather odd - I'm no expert, since my main is a melee class, but in my experience most fences, walls, etc., in WoW normally break line of sight; this one doesn't, which is what makes this trick possible. The warlock can drain life through the fence, but the horseman can't ride through it.

[Shellar]

A shadow priest could do it.

[rottentomato]

hunter could too...just would take about 10x as long

[bwirum]

A shadow priest using mostly mindflay and dots could do it if he had enough spelldamage to keep his mana up.

[Tollin]

A shadow priest could do it.

I don't know about that, not due to power or anything other than mana shortage after a while. But would be worth a try don't you think?

At least that lock didnt have to roll on anything against anyone. I bet the plate helm dropped and the healing ring... oh how pissed would you be?

Looked like a purple staff? But I could be wrong...

[MoRRoW]

The only thing I care about is that my druid got the 3 rings and got the pet from this boss ;)
and my friend got his head piece.

To bad I didn't saw that earlier though, I would've tried it with my lock amazing crap gear :)
