We did this with shackle ftw.

Last night we did it with Analogue doing the pull as a cat with entangling roots and a pally repenting the other. The first time the boss agroed the pally and despawned when he jumped off the wall. The second time Analogue threw in a FFF on the boss too and it worked great.

We probably will need you; we’re heavy on plate wearers but short on people so, plan on being there.

Did this last night with a druid tank. Ice trap was the only CC we had for undead so I trapped both adds after the pull, they despawned and it was a cake walk after that. Glad to get the achievment before this is “fixed”.

Gromdred is available tomorrow (Fri) by 7, and saturday (earlier if needed) if anything is planned. Let me know!

Our group did this with me healing as a holy priest. We had the dps wait in the courtyard, and I shackled one of the adds and shielded myself (for the Body and Soul runspeed buff).
The paladin tank taunted off of me and then I shielded him, and we just traded run speed boosts back and forth on the way to the courtyard.
We got the acheivement associated with this boss this way

That is a great trick. Keeping the buffing adds agroed on someone else and out of sight of him inspired.
Will have to look for places to use that on other fights perhaps.

Kiting make sthe fight downright easy, but many tanks probably can’t pull off the speed needed. We never tried having the tank jump off the ramparts into the courtyard. I expect that will reset him or bug him so we never tried it.

Using Cat, Dash, and FFF the puller never actually gets hit. So ANY druid could do it even if they are heals or dps. I get to the courtyard with plenty of buffer for the boss to get taunted off.

You can bypass #2 by taking the ramp instead of going indoors. 2 and 3 were bypassable in the old design too.

Yeah, you can just walk right past him. The other bosses are not skippable (maybe you can skip number 2) but Springvale doesn’t care if you leave him.

Your strategy sounds interesting, the main problem I think would be someone getting out of line of sight..
