Shaman Reincarnation in Arena

[pwntbyaids]

Recently in an arena match on a 2.4.3 Mangoes server, I died and the reincarnation option popped up. I was able to reincarnate but still lost the match. I wasn't wearing the Deck of Portals trinket but I do remember what I did in particular before the arena match. I can't test it right now since I patched to 3.09 WotLK but I'm pretty sure it was because of this particular action.

Anyways, here is what I did:
1) Que for arena.
2) When the que pops up to enter, I used .st. When the unstuck bar was half way done casting, I entered arena.

That was all. This was the only thing I did different in all my arena matches and it was the only arena match that I was able to reincarnate. Hope someone can test it out for me. Also, be sure that your reincarnate cooldown is refreshed before you enter arena. I'm pretty sure this works.

Normally in arena, reincarnation has an 1 hour cooldown (40 min if talented) so you cannot use reincarnation in arena. However, if you use .st, when the arena que pops up, and enter arena before it finishes casting .st, you can use reincarnation in arena.

But you said you still lost..? How does this help in anyway?

Because you can still reincarnate in arena (a spell your not normally able to use in arena due to its 60 minute cooldown). I still lost due to the other team being better geared. If you were equally geared and they burst you down, you can reincarnate and have a second try.
