Use Rocket Boots for flag caps post-2.4

[SockofBadKarma]

Okay, guys, so it's been a while since I posted a good thing on these forums. That being said, as you all know, the 2.4 patch notes make it so that using Rocket Boots Xtreme will drop a flag in PvP, preventing the popular Engineer "slowfall+boots" trick.

Well, it might seem like common sense to some, but they would dismiss the thought as being trivial. Despite that, I tested it anyway.

And I can say that, if you DROP the flag while carrying it, THEN use the Rocket Boots, and then PICK the flag back up before the buff runs out, you can still proceed to rocket with the flag. That being said, you will be unable to rocket jump when people are attacking you any more, but you can still do it when there isn't any "opposition".



So once again, if you drop the flag in WSG, and then use Rocket Boots Xtreme and pick the flag back up fast, it will not cause the flag to redrop. Only the original action of using the boots drops the flag.

Happy battlegrounds be upon you, fellows!

Idea? IDEA? Okay, then.



Remember that you have to be very quick on the uptake to be able to pick the flag back up. You have a window of just around 1 second.

Eh. I don't do bgs much, anyway. I just wanted to tell you that it still works

good idea man, would kinds suck to drop the flag and have it returned while youre waiting for the debuff to wear off tho :P

i have had numerous friends be reported for the boots pre 2.4. a druid friend of mine even had a few acc bans because "he was observed moving quite fast"
