[Exploit] [Death Knight] Cheat Death with Path of frost

[7itanium]

ok heres a little exploit I figured out today while grinding in nagrand

I discovered that if you apply path of frost and then run off of the water--- send your ghoul after a mob and then run back onto the water you are STILL IN COMBAT-- but the mob cant attack you

STEP 1: SUMMON YOUR GHOUL

STEP 2: APPLY PATH OF FROST SO U CAN WALK ON WATER

STEP 3: PULL A MOB WHILE ON LAND (SEND GHOUL AFTER IT)

STEP 4: RUN BACK ONTO THE WATER

AT THIS POINT, you are on the water out of reach-- but you can still spam your range spells and kill the mob--- I killed over 20 mobs this way and never took a single hit of damage the whole time

this could also be useful if you are almost dead, or if you get hit with a bunch of adds or something

yes the ability is working as intended

the exploit is that if you pull a mob WITH THE GHOUL first THE MOB DOESNT EVADE OUT LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO

Not sure how it's an exploit tbh. If you get aggro the mob evades out, same exact thing happens if you were swimming in water, you can hit it until you get aggro.

thats the thing tho-- if you do it this way IT DOESNT EVADE OUT-- YOU STAY IN COMBAT AND YOU CAN KILL THINGS THIS WAY

I KNOW that it is SUPPOSED TO EVADE OUT-- thats why this is an exploit... it DOESNT DO THAT---

YOU STAY IN COMBAT UNTIL THE MOB IS DEAD

[ElcyionLacar]

If this works I can see it being quite useful for soloing elites, now the only question is... Are there any decent drop elites near water that can't swim?

[Shykon]

this is common sense, read the skill description : it only cancels if you take damage.

your missing the point of the exploit

[Chris6t9]

Tru, its not working as intended, the exploit is the fact the mob dosent evade like it should when your in/on water, not the fact that you can walk on water during combat.

only handy vs really tough elites
tough elite smashes ghoul dead in 2 hits
turns on DK but cant reach
evades, resets.

move along nothing to see here.

there are other places it could be handy.... and the elites in nagrand can practically be solod these days--- they arent going to take out my ghoul in two hits

if anything it will give you time to get him to like 50% and then you can go in and finish it off normally

but nonetheless I think this can be useful at times-- and either way it still isnt working as intended-- therefor its a valid exploit

[memorex]

It has its limitations, is not working as intended, and may be useful to some. +rep from me.

i don't understand how this is an exploit if your ghoul has aggro?
mobs only evade if they are trying to attack something or someone that they can't reach and since your ghoul has aggro they won't evade...

EXACTLY... they dont evade and I can still attack them from the water-- I am in COMBAT with them

normally when they evade you go out of combat and cat attach-- I REAMAIN IN COMBAT the whole time

You use caps a lot

[7itanium]

You use caps a lot

YES... I DO! thanks for noticing!

[Laniax]

This is not an exploit, your ghoul has aggro and your ghoul is not on water.

its just clever use of game mechanics...
