Double Bonus Honor in Wintergrasp

[RunningManiac]

Here's what happened in our latest alliance defending, horde offending WG:

Really close WG fight, alliance way outnumbers horde. So, we finally get the keep door down with some seriously coordinated demolisher bum-rushes, but, we can't CAP the stupid orb because the ENTIRE room is filled with alliance.

I find myself, a rogue, stealthed in the back of the room, with the battle raging around me, trying hard to find an opening to channel a 10 second cap on the orb. Time ticks away...30 seconds....25 seconds...20....

Finally, I have to go for it, or the timer will run out. I start my channel at about 8 seconds left. As soon as the timer hits zero, the alliance music starts, and the raidwarnings pop up that alliance has successfully defended wintergrasp. BUT, MY CAST FINISHES! And as soon as it does, the horde music goes, and we get the message that horde has defended!

The best part is, you normally get 4 instantaneous ticks of honor at win or lose. We got 8 this time. It seems to have counted as both a loss, and a win. I did only receive one Wintergrasp mark. But, as you can see in the screenshot, horde has control, and we have the Essence of Wintergrasp buff.



Win all around! Maybe on some servers, this kind of a trade could be arranged?

In any case. 10k honor in 30 minutes? <3 unintentional exploit!

Really nice find. To bad its probably really hard to intentionally recreate. But as you say, arrangements for this can be possible. Im gonna wait an see if this is a repost, if not, +Rep

Edit: Ok, no rep power, I have no idea how this works :P
Edit2: Hey, got a rep power now. +rep for you. Cheers.

Not that hard.. you just have to work for it and its 40 min btw

Nice find.. i will try test and see if it works.


Edit: Bah 2h and 30min to wintergrasp

Nice find. Permission to put it into my Wintergrasp Guide?

[Vashavi]

Maybe delete your name on the damage meter???

[RunningManiac]

Thanks Vashavi, totally didn't notice my name on the damage meter. Good catch

As for Kingpin, yeah sure, you can put this in your guide....although, I don't see why you would, as this was mostly accidental, and would be extremely difficult to pull off without coordination from both teams.

Very epic going to use on my rogue too thank you very much!

Omg wish i had a 80 rogue now ty

There is a buff that increases your honor gained by 100% canned "Greatest Honor." This may be how you attained that much honor.

[manowarlock]

check the screenie, thats not how it gave more honor

Hmm, does this happen to be on the Al'Akir server? Earlier today i had the wintergrasp buff, and randomly targeted a horde, and he allso had it. I noticed it, but dint think much more over it.
