I find a video in Chinese Youtube, AKA bilibili.
bilibili link code is BV1Aq4y1Z7J9
And I save a copy of phase 3 and upload to youtube. https://youtu.be/2ZR_5CRIJ3o
The phase 3 started in 12:10 of the video.
The video recorded that Lady vashj was gotten aggro by a hunter using kibler’s bits which could get approximately 5k threat per feeding the pet in phase 3 of lady vashj.
The hunter use the kibler’s bit to fed the pet and get 5k threat per time, he repeat about 50 times or more to get about 200k threat that is enough of killing the vashj.
We can see the vashj was junked and kite the boss after the pal copy the threat that the hunter was gotten by using kibler’s bits.
We think it is an unusual strategy for defeating the Lady Vashj encounter, so here is the bug report.

This is a clever strategy using the existing mechanism. Don’t know why there always those mean reporters. This is not a safe spot but a path problem which existed in DMT for decades.

These “non-bugs” make classic wow different and fun. The fun from exploring.

Maybe, you are right. I argued with my friend that the uncommon point is the path problem or Kibler’s bits’ threat mechanism. He think the path of vashj is not a bug, because the same mechanism can be used in mara etc., besides the kibler’s bits should not give 5k threat.
Don’t defend the use of an overlooked borderline exploit to render a difficult boss useless and get free loot from it. This makes all of us who legitimately downed her feel cheated if it’s not fixed or punished for.
Kibler’s might have been acceptable on Nightbane as it only directed the smoking blasts, you still had to deal with everything else. This legitimately messes up pathing and turns the boss into a dummy. I would hope warcraftlogs doesn’t count anything reported where Kibler’s has been cast.

It doesn’t matter how you feel. Nothing proud to copy a strategy from 15 years ago. These clever uses of mechanism make wow superior. This path finding mechanism existing since classic 60. Why don’t you ask blizzard to ban all the dmt, mara and hsp? The aggro mechanism also exists since the lunch. Despite the pet food, you could use a pally to heal or cast king to achieve the same results. These Two mechanisms are always allowed. The team who invent this strategy is genius.
Ultimately it’s Blizzard’s terrible pathing issues. If the pathing was done well then this, Mara, ZG, etc. wouldn’t even be a thing.
Don’t think it is even a issue. It is easy to fix the path problem. Just make the mobs flying over all the terrains. However, this just make the game boring.
This is a good solution.
It will fix botting too.
how is kibler bite generating threat? it can’t be used in combat
Kibler is not the same as normal pet food. Pet food you can only feed to a pet out of combat which raises happiness overtime. Kibler gives a 20str/spirit buff(well feed) and 10 happiness instantly and can be used in combat. Maybe they just need to make kibler not usable in combat?
