Deflection should be round 10 and 14

Aintgnothin wrote on 2017-09-14 19:05:04

I tried this and worked perfect - Turn 9 crush - Turn 10 Deflection then crush until Deflection is off CD - one more crush and WIN! Thanks!

IllyiaRose wrote on 2017-09-27 09:30:49

Worked perfect. Thanks Bonesai!

Albosky wrote on 2017-11-12 12:10:55

Yup , 10 & 14 is the key , failed using it on 9 and 13 everytime

Illana

wrote on 2017-11-19 14:07:27

Yep. I tried it on 9 and my Idol got wrecked. Luckily, my third pet finished it off. Definitely use Deflection on 10/14.

Every 4 turns used deflection - so 1st time at round #2 , then #6 , then #10, worked flawlessly :)

your script uses deflection on round one which is incorrect.

Archangelf wrote on 2018-06-24 14:41:46

.. and if luck will not be with you and you loose both the two first pets just drop a Bonkers at third slot with Going Bonkers - Tornado Punch . Amazing guy :)

Easy kill with Terky and Hogs. Acid Touch, Stampede, pass. Hogs in Headbutt, stampede, hogs dies same time as Gnasher third pet swaps in but is not needed.

Perfect! Didn't have Hogs leveled up so I used Pandaren Monk 1/1/1 - using Fury of a Thousand Fists instead of Headbutt. Worked wonders

Slow fight, but easy as well. I brought a 2nd Anubaseth Idol just in case my first one died and it did. The second one took Gnasher out.

Dakini wrote on 2017-09-08 16:44:45

Used Hogs . 2 1 1 – headbutt stampede bite headbutt bite till death Kun-Lai Runt 1 1 1 Rampage If needed use Bonkers 2 2 2 by Lariusmage
works every time so far

what happen this site all guids is bad

Horae wrote on 2017-09-10 15:32:57

The patch is quite new and there are a lot of new strats to be proven. However most of them worked for me so far (as this one) and when there are problems, I find alternatives in the comments. This site is great!

IllyiaRose wrote on 2017-09-27 09:29:08

I agree with Horae. The community has put a ton of effort into finding the best strats for each fight. It takes a lot of work and a lot of time. Great work everyone! :)

Valeda wrote on 2017-09-26 13:39:07

In case it's easier for anyone to see the fights I documented my fights for gnasher and posted them here https://youtu.be/W3euSnSeXM0

Hollthulhu wrote on 2017-08-30 23:33:06

Very badly written strat.

You can use the recommended pets - just be mindful to use deflection when Gnasher's Maul is off CD. Don't follow the guide about when to use Deflection.

Kayllisti wrote on 2017-09-15 00:37:58

I agree, it's a bit hard to follow. The pets did work though!

Its worded horribly. "Turns 3-5" says your Flayer dies here, Mine lasted until turn 8..so unless youre using a lvl 15 white Flayer..it wont die...

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-11 14:26:58

I used Flayer Youngling and two Crushers (2,1,2) and (2,1,1)

Kayyaa wrote on 2017-09-01 03:40:32

This combination (Flayer Youngling, Anubisath Idol) works perfectly. You just need to time the Deflection to always block his Maul. I didn't even use the third pet.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-02 09:58:48

Definitely important. What to block with the deflection needs to be more clear in the description rather than "at the correct turn." I guess it's not that hard to figure out, but my brain didn't really process at first. If you don't use if for maul, this doesn't work at all.

solitha wrote on 2017-08-29 19:51:55

The rounds are miscounted. Rampage goes for 3 rounds... but 3, 4, 5, 6 are 4. This throws off the fight, especially since we're supposed to be careful what round to Deflect in.

It appears that Deflection is specifically used against Maul, so if you have a battling addon that shows your enemy cooldowns, this seems to be the correct target.

(OP) Aranesh

wrote on 2017-08-31 06:34:58

Yes there was a mistake, sorry for that. The strategy should work but I miscounted Rampage as you said. I fixed this now! Sorry for the trouble

Anonymous wrote on 2017-08-30 20:45:19

The base strat is messed up and confusing!

Jess wrote on 2017-08-30 16:16:52

I used the Curious Wolvar Pup (2-2-2) which also works in the third slot to finish.

Hermy wrote on 2017-08-29 15:42:24

I needed my third pet here, just to finish him off, but it did it easily (Kun-Lai Runt with Rampage).

PS - you have the Flayer Youngling dying in both Turns 3-6 and 8 or 9.

Tormentia-Kul Tiras wrote on 2017-08-30 13:21:32

Likewise for me. I used a level 24 Fiendish Imp (S/S) and got 175 XP with Safari Hat on. Not much but it leveled him to 25 so I'm not complaining.

EyeSage wrote on 2017-08-30 00:11:48

Hogs 2 1 1

Esc wrote on 2018-05-21 22:51:58

Il y a une erreur au tour 9, la déviation est à faire au tour 10 selon la situation dans laquelle vous êtes.

Pour ma part, mon Jeune écorcheur P/P meurt au tour 7 avant de pouvoir taper, donc au tour 8 je lance bien Tempête de sable, puis au tour 9 Écraser, et tour 10 Déviation. Ensuite le même schéma, 3 Écraser, Déviation.
Mon idole meurt avant de pouvoir finir, j'ai donc mis un Diablotin avec 2 Ruée pour terminer.

Esc wrote on 2018-05-21 23:06:17

En fait, au tour 15 logiquement on termine avec une Tempête de sable, mais mon idole a tout simplement raté un Écraser et meurt avant de pouvoir finir, d'où l'idée du diablotin pour terminer le combat tranquillement.

Termi wrote on 2017-09-09 07:30:16

Essayé plusieurs fois et ne marche pas... J'ai utilisé Jeune écorcheur/Lardon/Avorton de KunLai
Faire comme la strat au dessus avec jeune écorcheur jusqu'à sa mort, faire rentrer Lardon => débandade jusqu'à sa mort puis Saccager avec Avorton
