Shattered Halls Bug - A BRK Exclusive?

BRK » 18 March 2007 » In PvE, Strategy »

So you’ve cleared all the trash mobs before the big room where you make a right turn and jump into the sewer. Look at the pic, your next two pulls are the mobs indicated by the two heavy red lines.

Got me so far?

Good. These guys are all bugged. See that thin red line on the picture? None of these mobs can go further than this line. Here’s how to get past this room in a couple of seconds.

Send Sparky, (a rogue, hunter, or someone who can dump aggro), to the front of the party. Have him hug the right wall, stepping on the tables and stuff, and make a mad dash through the mobs guarding the next room, where the drop-down to the sewer is. Your boy Sparky will aggro the entire room and they will charge him…

But they won’t stop him from getting past that red line, and they won’t follow him any further. They will stand at the entrance to that little room… and only the ranged attackers will be able to do any damage to him. If Sparky goes to the top of the sewer drop-down, he’ll be out of line-of-sight and won’t take any damage.

At this point, the rest of the party follows and gets past the red line. All the mobs are still aggro’d on Sparky, so they won’t be aggro’d on the rest of your party as they run past. Your guys run and jump down into the sewer. The hunter Feign’s Death, or the rogue Vanishes, and the mobs all return to their starting positions.

Congratulations, you’ve totally bypassed that room.

My question is, am I the only one who knows this, or is this the standard way people do this room? Every Shattered Halls pug I’ve been in has been amazed at this and has never heard of it. Perhaps BRK found something special here?

    I didn’t know, but that’s really nifty! Saves some time…
    /pray for Blizzard not to fix this bug so I can test this myself

    Well, I’ve never been. Ever. By the time I get to, my guess is, this will be fixed. *shrug* Oh well. Would have been neat to try. Thanks for sharing the strategies.

    New to me too, but i have only been there for a few times, so far.

    Currently grinding rep to get my gun and then you have to kill mobs, don you?
