Extra shaman AP/Spellpower

[Browncow2]

Hey, there is a really cool bug i found on private servers (3.0.3) that helped me out a hell lot! I play on WoW Trance usually, but this works on just about every server.

Nope, you don't need to download ANYTHING. Just would be a huge help if the server had a mall or vendors you can summon.


There is a shaman talent called "Mental Dexterity" which increases your attack power by 100% (3 points, 33%/66%/100%) of your intellect.
On private servers, i found that this is bugged, and STAYS Increased by however much intellect you had on your gear when you speccd into it.
And there is another talent called Mental Quickness, which increases spellpower by an amount equal to 30% (10%, 20%, 30%, 3 points.) of your attack power. Bugged just as is mental dexterity.

So for high spellpower/Attack power. Heres what you do, this is a fun bug to use.
1. Create 3 armor sets, One focusing on maximum intellect, another on maximum spellpower, and another on maximum attack power. (I started with Tier 6/Season4 on wow trance. Take that and compare it to badge reward gear, Take note of how many sockets it has.)
2. Gem them up. Gear your attack power set with only attack power or strength gems, Your intellect gear with only intellect gems. And spellpower gear with only spellpower gems. (i used gems +10intellect[yellow]. +10 strength[red]. And +12 spellpower[red].)
3. Equip your intellect gear, i was on an Orc shaman, the server i did this on didn't have any sunwell gear, but was still on 3.0.3. So i had just over 16k mana unbuffed (instant 70 server), which i found rather impressive.
4. With intellect gear on, Spec 3 points into "Mental Dexterity". and then AFTER you spec into that, switch into your attack power set. You should see attack power quite alot higher than normal. (Tier 6/season 4 at about 2.8k AP unbuffed)
5. At this point, you can go kick some face with your high windfury crits, or continue on and see some high lightning/healing.
6. With your full Attack Power set of gear on, Spec further down into enhancement tree and spec into "Mental Quickness", You will see a rather high amount of spellpower.
7. Switch into your full spell damage set and Voiala. High spellpower,
(In my spellpower gear, i still had around 1500AP, and 2400spellpower. Rather impressive)

Note: Even though you need atleast 38 points in the enhancement tree for that spellpower increase, i found it fun for speccing the rest into resto. In the end i went full enhance like that, had my high attack power with decent 1200+ SP, Making maelstrom weapon very helpful!

Thankss, this is just a little bug i found and i thaught i'd share.
I really don't think this is a repost, i looked all over and couldnt find a thing, but if it is. Go ahead and give me a link, thanks!

isnt exploit
but thx for sharing

True, isn't an exploit mate.

Read it you 2, the AP/SP should scale down when you switch gear. Instead of staying the same as when you specced. It is an exploit. As you can gear up in healing gear, or w/e that gives you max int, and then put int gems on it, then spec for the AP talent. Now, once you remove the gear, it should scale down, but it doesn't. Got it?
