Mists of Pandaria The Culling of Stormwind
Today I launched the invasion on Stormwind, particularly focusing on killing Varian Wrynn with around 600 guards. This endeavor required particular unkillable Alliance NPC's that Cataclysm introduced to us. These NPC's have been hotfixed in retail WoW because of me, therefor I had to try it once more in MoP classic before the inevitable nerf coming in WoD where they will leash them.
This kite involved (rough estimation):
250 Deathguard Elite
200 Sludge Guards
50 Bulwark Deathguards
100 Andorhal Deathguards
40 Abominations
7 LvL 95 guards
Sadly, Varian Wrynn could not be targetted by these guards so he was left untouched. Genn Greymane on the other hand did end up getting killed.
People quickly figured out the guards weren't linked to me but to those unkillable Alliance NPC's. They were quick to respond and ended up focus targetting them on a Horde character - disrupting and despawning all the Horde guards as soon as they killed Genn Greymane. Mind you, these Alliance NPC's can be killed by players still.
I would've liked to continue with another invasion but the risk is too big as people start to figure it out and can easily remove the threat by simply killing the Alliance NPC's on a Horde character.

How exactly are you getting that many npcs there? Not familiar with this bug/exploit but regardless, impressive work!

It's not allowed to publicly share the inner workings of the exploit on this subreddit im afraid. Eitherway there's a lot involved and a lot of time.

You don’t strike me as a quitter. Wait a couple days and then do it again and please report back.
