Cold Snap Nerf and Hunter Exploits

Cold snap no longer removes spell lock. =(

** UPDATE **

HUNTER BUG FIXED AS OF THE ROLLING RESTARTS.

The hunter double of everything bug is probably the biggest exploit to be left in a live patch this long:

This is a repost from TwoFace's blog entry over on GameRiot -- to be fair, it's been on exploit sites for a while now, but his post sums it up pretty succinctly.


This is how it works (two instant Aimed Shots and Multi Shots).
It's an exploit of the new !Autoshot macro, so you start of by making these 3 macros.


/cast !Auto shot
/cast Multi-Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

/cast !Auto shot
/cast Aimed Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

/cast !Auto shot
/cast Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

1.) You spam the steady shot macro. You should fire off 2 steady shots and then an auto. Once your autoshot timer reaches 0.5 seconds left, immediately do step 2.

2.) Spam the aimed shot macro. If everything was timed correctly, the Aimed Shot fires off instantly, followed by another autoshot. On top of that, 1 second later, it should fire another Aimed Shot. Once your next autoshot timer reaches 0.5 seconds left, immediately do step 3.

3.)
Spam your multi shot macro. The same thing happens, you fire two multishots.

4.)
Repeat.

Check the video.


Did anybody notice that the old jump logout trick worked when the servers came back online and now doesn't seem to?

Should be a fun week of playing against Druid/Hunter/X.

I actually wrote this while AFK in arena. 5s is the new AV.

The hunter bug was hotfixed this morning in EU at least.

So radi, why don't you advertise the /ignore issue in arenas?

Barrelroll/dwarfgimli said...

cuz everyone and their mother knows about it

Raddy said...

I thought everybody used ArenaIgnore by now.

That was the best thing I've ever seen.

Raddy, could you write an article on 5v5s? I'm very interested in what your opinion is on the current state of 5s for a mage, and the changes we've seen from S1 to S2 and now S3.
It would also be interesting to see what you feel would help our class be viable again 5's.

Much gay love <3
rofl jk!

Anything you can do, locks can do better. Locks can do anything better than you.

"No you can't!"
"...yes, we actually can, bro."

ive said...

All mages are now warlocks
All rogues are now warriors, all classes with healing abilities(including all drainei) are now druids

We hope this new aproach will help us better balance our player versus player system

WTb: Raddy pvp vid! (or at least some thoughts on non-Frost play).

I am trying an arc/fire spec atm (with a very steep learning curve, it is like trying to forget the last 13 months as frost and going back to my old fire style). So far my 2v2 rating has dropped 130 points, and the 3v3 80 points. But.. it is fun. :)

God I suck and I need HELP!!!

You're 2100 in 2s playing Fire?

Vhairi said...

He is 2.1k+ in 3s, but not sure how active he is in the other brackets.

Anonymous said...

I haven't seen Raddy online in like a week so I don't know if he is active in anything

Romulox said...

oh where oh where has our Raddy blog gone?

Raddy said...

I'm here. Sorry. Really busy. It's bonus season. Face-time. zzz.

Trying to find time to write and play, but this week and the next are ballsack. >.<

Are you still messing around as DB and Baller Spec?

I think raddy might be dead :(

What is your rank in Go, Raddy? I've been a chess player and kindof want to learn. I've always liked Asian culture. Plus, the memorization aspect of tournament chess doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore.

Raddy said...

I've been playing 33/28 doing mage/rogue with Ming. It's a lot of fun. Just started about a week ago so I'm still very bad. ^^

I was about 4kyu at my best in Go. I pretty much could never beat anyone 4-6 kyu, but I could win handicap games on either side pretty consistently. I'm probably somewhere around 8-10kyu now. Since my friends are too strong for me to practice against, I don't play much anymore.

I played chess growing up -- I'd say Go has similar memorization when you're moving from 24 to 15kyu and after that you really don't need to read/study until you get to the lower kyus. I was tutored by two pros so I had it pretty easy in the early stages of playing.

Raddy said...

Sorry for no posts!!

That is still pretty good though. Lucky to have such instruction. There was a kid here who won the under 1800 tournament in LA at 8 years old... might have been nine. I played him afterwards at a tournament and was just crushed. He even won his first game vs. a GM already (simul). It is very humbling to meet people like that.
