Avoid Charge

[stevenw9]

Firstly, I know there's a post on this for duels, but i've noticed this becoming more frequently possible in other areas except for Arenas (Not sure why). Simply put, if you start 'hopping' in a diagnol direction, different from the path you were moving in when a warrior just hits their charge, you'll generally not be hit if you're quick enough.

(Tested with 80 Holy Priest VS 80 Prot Warrior)

Another nifty feature is how Warriors will sometimes reflect spells, it's funny to see Death Grip land and the warrior as well as DK go swinging in two crazy directions. LOL

(Watched this happen on the bridge in AV, they both died from fall damage )

If anyone has any more statistical data on this it'd be much appreciated in a PM or such, or reasons as to why these events happen.

sweet gotta try this out

[ValzI]

nice find +rep

[Professor Banana]

+rep, but do you need to know exactly when the warrior's going to charge for it to work, or can you do it as soon as you see him start to move?

Or just get on your mount and hold forward. Charge has never worked right (very occasionally it does), and you can never get a hamstring off on someone who you have charged that is running away from you on their mount.

This is old bug . Actually ive played warrior ( rerolled warr for DK now ) and always in duels , arenas ''hopping'' peoples land some yards after i stun with charge .
Its stupid because if You re wingcliped or something , You wont reach Your target and wont be able to hamstring and even piercing howl . And theres no chance to get Druid running in travel form .
Only chance to land hamstring / piercing was that You played Tauren ( still Tauren hitbox was fixed in WOTLK 3.0 , so now actually this bug affect all warriors )
Its just really annoying that blizz cant fix it ......


Sorry for my english , but its not my native language .

This ones been around a while, only really doable for low ping players, usually 100 or lower.

Used to do this as a rogue pre BC and laugh when a warrior would intercept and go the complete opposite direction to where I was.

I used this in pre-bc and didn't think it would still work/totally forgot about it. Been doing it today, works perfectly. Thanks for posting.
