[Druid/PvP] Cut off upto 9seconds of Shadow Fiend.

[theryuu]

The cyclone spell make a player immune to everything, even healing.
And btw, you can cast cyclone 3 times, 6+4+2=12 secs.

The duration of cyclone is 10.5 seconds, beginning at 6 seconds, and ending at 1.5. Against most intelligent priests, cycloning to remove the shadowfiend promotes the susceptibility of the druid to: Psychic Scream/Mana Burn/Talented Silence (2s)/Dispell. Most priests will run towards casters and be within that 8 yard radius to fear before you're able to get a cast off.

• As a druid, you are capable of out running the shadowfiend in cheetah form or cat + sprint, and not allowing your self to be hit = no mana returned for the priest.
• Or, if your partner is a warrior, have him use sweeping strikes next to or near the pet, sweeping strikes ignores the dodge/avoidance of its secondary target. (situational)
• And a 3rd possibility, is on the Blade's Edge Arena, is to jump off one of the pillars causing the pet to path from the side.
  
  You may consider Cycloning to remove the Prayer of Mending buff if present on a target, it will be removed if it attempts to mend and bounce. Though, not advisable since against a priest, your top priority is to kite in the largest available radius (20+ yards) to avoid the priest running towards you and fearing/manaburn/chastise/mana burn.

I dunno where you learned ur shit but it's bad as hell, only thing that's correct is casting 3 times and 6 secs, 6+3+1.5=10.5

Should be common sense to any druid.

Most mana regen goes right through cyclone. Cyclone someone with innervate, if nothing's going on in the battle they'll just get more mana from not abusing the 5 second rule for mana regen.

Would think the fiend's mana goes through too, apparently not.

Ok.

EDIT: I dont want this thread to turn into a debate if this is an expliot or not. The thruth is, it isnt an expliot. More of a trick. But I must amdit out of all the "tricks" put into this forum everyday, that this really isnt commen sense. Sure, maybe you knew about it, but more then 15 druids in a row on my server had no clue about it, and they arnt all noobs, some of them had really high rating. I would really love this topic to be moved to a better place, considering it really isnt an expliot.

Dont go bashing on things just because you know about it, save your "commen sense" posts for "Blink to stop falling damage" posts.

Things like innervate increase your static MP/5, while shadow fiends restore mana based on the hits they do. Think of it like you are cycloning an enhancement shaman that just popped shamanistic rage and is therefore unable to hit you.

Or, another way of thinking of it... imagine you are in a group with a shadow priest. Hes got vamp touch and vamp embrace up, they are healing you and restoring your mana, right? If you get cycloned you will be immune to these effects for the duration of the cyclone.

Something that might be common sense too is to kill the shadowfiend?

[Samipe]

GTFO common sensers, I play priest at 1900 and no druid has ever done this to me!

90ish % dodge and 300 resists to all....good luck

The thruth is, it isnt an expliot.

So when you posted this in the exploits section what were you thinking?

A. Ill nab some quick rep before the flamers come in.
B. I dont give a shit about the rules and eh, didnt bother to read them.
C. **** Wow general, ima be a rebel and post in the wrong section
D. No mudfish, i thought about all the above before posting...

Seriously, you and the 945495 other leechers are what bring this, and other sections down by knowingly posting things in the wrong section.

I promise you there IS a section for what you want to post. Posting here on purpose makes me think you just want to get on the home page, get exposure, and get rep.

Grats, fellow leechers found this as an exploit.

[Enfeebleness]

Bad Mudfish, Bad!


No posting against thread i like!

[Logon]

Simple but didnt think of it :P + rep

[Rammeth]

Another common sense trick that everyone may or may not know :P ; Warriors can use sweeping strikes when targetting someone else (with the shadowfiend in melee range) and quickly kill it with 2-3 hits as sweeping strikes cannot be dodged/parried/missed (if it hits the main target it always hits another if theres a target in melee range).

[Manakuski]

There's an easier way for this. If you play with a warrior, have your warrior target someone who's close to the shadowfiend, then use intimitating shout. 70% of the time it works, because intimitating shout is physical. For some odd reason the shadowfiend doesn't resist it that often.

[Silxman]

actually i have to ask myself if most of the people who just said " wohh " or "thanx" ever played Arena ^^

This is common sense ...

It's like :

Hey Dude's ... If your Cyclone a Shaman, when he uses his Mana Tide totem, he doesn't get any mana

Or : If you Cyclone a Target with Blessing of Protection he cannot get healed

:yuck:

Because when you cyclone someone you're looking at how much mana they're getting every tick, right?


Go away.
