Still working in 9.2, had a hard time understanding the note on turn 4 until i realized i needed to swap to the 3rd pet slot so he can get hit by the Void Gate, forcing Squirky to come in. Ty!

tried strat 4 times in a row, with various random humanoid pets. Every single time, 3rd pet kept getting swapped in instead of corefire imp. Not a great strat with the swap RNG> :(

Your 3rd pet must have less hp than the imp. Follow that and the strat will work for you.

I had issues with the swaps when using BB Squirky (1441 hp), PS Corefire Imp (1400 hp) and PS Qiraji Guardling (1400 hp) in the random slot.
I changed the order to:
1. Qiraji Guardling / random
2. Squirky
3. Corefire Imp '
worked perfectly.

and adapted the script (also fixed the missing ids on the aura checks for international clients...):

-----------

standby [ round=1 ]
change(#1) [ round=4 ]
use(409) [ ! self.aura(Immolation:408).exists ]
use(592) [ ! enemy.aura(Wild Magic:591).exists ]

Could not get this to work, so I tried with two Anubisath Idols ( 2 * 1 ) and the Imp. A bit RNG with the low hit chance on demolish but as long as you manage to block the void gate with the deflection it worked anyway.

This strat doesn't work if your 3rd pet has more than 1400hp. Which for me, was all of them. Thankfully the achieve does not require level 25 pets. So I just put in a sacrificial level 1 pet as my 3rd pet and boom, strat worked.

Worth noting that this strat only works if your Corefire Imp has more health than the other two... i always get swapped to Squirky or the third pet, so this ruins the whole after the first step.

Found this on Wowhead...works MUCH better:

Humanoid Havoc:

This one had some RNG in favor but went pretty fast. You need demolish to hit (yay rng) and Tesla Cannon to not go low-end damage.

Anubisath Idol (Guardian) 2/X/1
Hogs (P/H) X/1/X (Squirky with bubble/stampede appears to work well for an extra round of stampede)
Baby Winston (P/H) 1/X/X From Bursi "Thank you. I didn't have Baby Winston so I took Rotten Little Helper (2, x, 1) instead. Round 8 Greench's Gift, round 9 Ice Lance."

1-Deflection
2-Demolish
3-Demolish (if you don't get 2 hits, just restart)
4-Anub swaps to Hogs
5-Stampede
6-Stampede
7-Hogs swaps to Baby Winston
8-Tesla Cannon
9-Tesla Cannon (Mar'cuus dies)

Simple and no RNG - but yes the third pet must have less HP than the Corefire Imp (<1400)

Not a lot of XP to be had here, but my L13 Corefire Imp gained L14 from his XP as my third pet. I was on the edge of my seat at the end of this fight. I didn't think it was going to work, but it did! Thanks, Roeevv & XuFu. (p.s. I'm glad to see some of Roeevv's strategies here. I was using them from WoWHead for quite a while before discovering XuFu's site.)

the third pet is only there to take one hit, so dont search too much in your roster and just put a low level humanoid (even level 1 will do). have fun.

Lac wrote on 2018-02-27 20:46:54

My S/S Bonkers was good. You simply can't have MORE HP. That means that having the exact same amount is fine. If the imp is #2 it will get swapped.
