    50% Haste/20% Dmg as mage in raids (2min)

    The following two world buffs are not hotfixed yet as of August 28, 2010, and they are still capable of being spellstolen by mages then used in ICC25. Both of these mobs can be found in the quest area near Star's Rest which cast these buffs.

    Focus Wizard - NPC - World of Warcraft
    Arcane Focus - Spell - World of Warcraft

    Magister Keldonus - NPC - World of Warcraft
    Might of Malygos - Spell - World of Warcraft

    To those of you mages who choose to use these enjoy breaking meters until they are hotfixed!

    Would 2 minutes be worth it? 24 people waiting just for a mage to do 1min30sec of extra damage (-30 for loadingscreen+pull)

    You must have missed the part where you can use it in ICC25 which in the past, previous buffs such as this have been hotfixed to be removed upon entering the instance. Nice attempt to troll though.

    Well the exploit is intended to get a buddy a high ranking score so that he can brag to everybody about his high dps, which would be the purpose of this mechanic. I understand that not everyone cares as much as some do but in the case of top guilds it's a big deal especially when this buff is difficult to track in the logs (have to check aura fades).

    Also the character you refer to is my alt.

    Blizzard would call this clever use of game mechanics, not an exploit IMO

    Not an exploit. Should be considered a tip or guide.

    Blizzard doesn't intent for you to steal spells that trivialize an encounter.

    Unintended use of game mechanics ======> Exploit

    You obviously didn't play in "the old days" because less people have killed heroic 25 (no buff) compared to vanilla raids.

    Spell Steal didn't even exist.

    I would say "Repost", but I can't remember/see the thread. These all pale in comparision to the Nexus Spellsteal though -the aura of:

    Aura of Arcane Haste - Spell - World of Warcraft

    helps you out a tonne and helps the raid alot. I only hope it stacks (not sure if it does - if it does omg crazy =D, but you'd need multiple mages)

    Are you still able to spellsteal this without it getting removed upon entering ICC, if so I'm interested.

    This is walking the razor's edge of Clever use of game mechanics and exploit. Warlocks were buffing melee with Whipped Frenzy - Spell - World of Warcraft from Maiden of Pain - NPC - World of Warcraft by enslaving it, but it's been reported that those mobs will no longer give that buff anymore because it was very overpowered.

    You retain any buffs upon entering. As a melee, I usually buff myself with 350 attack power from one of the freed crusaders. At 30 minutes, its not too bad of an inconvenience. I'm not anal enough though (And the other raid members aren't patient enough) to do shorter term, but more powerful buffs. I can give myself 18% kings buff, which would be better than 350AP, but that requires paladins -not- buffing me with kings since it resets the kings to 10%, and that is a serious pain to explain to the other paladins that blindly spamclick their pallypower.
