Exploit in Northrend daily! Make it twice as fast!

[vertigo7]

So I was doing the quest Overstock in Northrend with my (just turned) 78, and I realized that if you do some damage to the guys running at you BEFORE they get brutally combusted (is that a verb that can be used there?) by the mines, you'll actually get double credit for it...

I can't really prove it with pictures, and I'm not a technological genius, so I don't know how to fraps it, but you can go out and try it

I did that for the whole rest of the quest, and it kept working, so it is definitely not a one-time bug, and also, to answer the flaming idiots who are too lazy to go out and try it themselves, NO, there were not two running at me and I didn't notice. It happened even when there was a single guy in the VACINITY of the mines.

So pretty much, to summarize:

1. Start Overstock
2. Drop a frooglepoopillion mines where you're supposed to (readers of Dilbert will get that)
3. As they come by, do some damage moves. (for me, as a priest, I just mind flay/mind sear for a second or two, don't try to dot because they usually get to the mines before the dot takes affect, and even if it does, I haven't confirmed with dots.)
4. Let them be blown up.
5. I would say ????? but that joke is so overused.
6. I would say profit but that joke is so overused.

Thanks guys

If anyone could link a quest that has the same idea, and I'd be able to test if it worked the same way.
Bye!

[mehappy]

nice find.

Thanks! Great find!

gj finding this

Guys, if you're going to use it, and you think it's cool, GIVE IT REP.

In a couple of my threads, there have been like 5-10 guys who just go "OMGCOOLBBQKKTHXBAIIIII" and then don't rep... It's like my HUGE pet peeve. IF YOU LIKE THE THREAD, GIVE IT REP!

On a side note... +Rep, it's a good find

BUT NOTICE I ACTUALLY REP HIM

[vertigo7]

Lol, THANK you, Mehappy

Kk, now, seriously, does anyone have any other exampes that are like this?

Nice find, thank you.

[vertigo7]

This is the 4th time someone posted "Nice find, thanks!" or "great job!" without repping... Honestly, I'm not asking for rep, I don't really mind THAT much, but it's because of (yes, I'm going to say it) leechers like you who post 400 reposts and don't even rep the original maker that this site should be called MMOrepost.

I know not all leechers are bad, and we all were leechers once, but the kinds I don't like are the lurkers...

Thanks.
