Only the Penitent achievement, with a mage in Arcane spec

Описание: A very short video (about one third of which is me shouting "yes!!" and raising my arms - not shown :) ) to show how to solo Only the Penitent in the Firelands, using a mage, as learned from iRemilia -    • Solo - Only the Penitent Achievement - Mag...  )

I had to respec my Frost Mage as Arcane, and select the talents Alter Time (for a quick jump back) and Shimmer (for two consecutive Blinks).

I'm not showing the obvious and basic things here, like how you move to the first orb by keeping the druid selected, keeping track of his spellcasting and kneeling every time it gets close to finishing.

The trick is to position yourself on one of the marked spots, wait until just after the "Kneel..." spell finishes, run/shimmer+shimmer forward and kneeling on one of the spots at the other orb, wait for the end of the cycle and then click the orb, Alter Time back and click the other orb. As for the timing, I can only suggest you experiment. Alter Time will reset you to the original spot after just over one cycle of the druid's spell, so don't count on any waiting time.

Pretty much all my misses were due to either getting the druids attacking me by passing to close to them, attacking the druids by pressing the wrong keys at the wrong time, or just basically fumbling with the keys, pressing completely different keys, or just failing to press the keys correctly. I had to do this with the sound off since it was too distracting.

I'm glad it's over.
