Quote:The earwig in Kurinnaxx in AQ20 can be stationary tanked without getting any debuffs on the MT. The bug, like players, can be in auto-attack range but not in range to use his cleave, which is what the debuff on the tank comes from. So if the warrior moves so that his autoattack and sunder can hit, but his taunt won't reach the bug, the bugs cleave won't reach the warrior and the debuffs will never never land.
Apparently this does not work if you are a troll. Krytis (who discovered the, um, strategy) is Tauren. On our AQ20 runs we normally have Wolfete, a troll warrior in full Might. She does not tank Kurinaxx however since (rightly or wrongly) she has been completely unable to make it work. Neither Krytis nor Otheo (both Tauren warriors) have had any trouble, it's a matter of inching around until your sunder button lights up but not your taunt.
This has to be unintended for a number of reasons, the most obvious being that it completely trivializes the encounter (which wasn't that hard in the first place).
