[Priest] Divine Hymn + Ressurection

[Evilzlo]

Hey guys!
I've searched for this on the forums, but found nothing, but tell me if it's a repost.
Anyways, I take no credit for this and it was my arena partner who discovered this (who's also a great friend), but we didn't share it before.

Priests have a spell called Divine Hymn, which incapacitates the target and puts fear on CD. Well, there are some tricks like DH+Mana Burns which is mostly common knowledge, but what is not that known is the fact that DH doesn't get you in combat. I'm sure some people might find other uses for this, but now I'll share the ressurection trick.

Now, lets imagine you, as a priest, are left in a 1v1 situation in arena. Ress with borrwed time + PI + engi gloves without much haste is about 5.9 secs cast, which is still pretty hard to pull off. The catch is is that you cat trick your opponent into DH while you're not in combat before you pull it off. Which will make the enemy stunned for 10 seconds and you won't be in combat, so you can easily pull a 5.9sec ress off. That's how we did it a couple of times. It can seem pretty useless or hard to pull off, but it can win you a game.

TL;DR
Use Divine Hymn while you're out of combat on enemy, use haste buffs, ressurect.

Proofs.
So, I borrowed my friends account to show you a couple of screenshots. First is me hitting a dummy with holy fire, and you can see that the water is grayed out. On the second one I use hymn and drink almost instantly (you can see that the water buff is 28 out of 30 secs and hymn on the enemy is still more than 6 seconds left)
This isn't my char, so bare with the spellbook clicking




Enjoy!
Check it yourself if you don't belive me. Hope that'll help someone! And use it while you can, in 3.1 it's getting reworked.

This wouldnt be an exploit if it intentionally doesn't put you in combat... Working as intended.. ROFL

[buahbleah]

Might working as intended, but this can be huge.

[Evilzlo]

Is it really normal that a 10-second incapacitate doesn't put you in combat? I might be missing something, but I can't really get how this could be intended. Tell me where I'm wrong.

[djCorrupT]

yeah useing this will only get u into combat if u r currently in combat, which means u will remain in combat which means u need to get out of it.. unless ur a Night Elf this is useless and common sence.. get out of combat, stun, and rez.. dont see exploit here

[Wetop]

This is not intended? How come? Both spells do what they are supposed to do in a way they are supposed to... This is just a clever use of game mechanics.

[DDDevilz]

I cannot think of a case where a spell you cast on an enemy that has an actual effect on them does not put you in combat. So yes, this is not working as intended.

Well DH is gonna be changed in the next patch because it did something that wasnt intended

[Prokos]

Nice one, too bad I'm not a priest.

[Zeildo]

This exploit works, just tested it on my priest. +3rep for you.

This is NOT working as intended. Should priests (who is not in combat) be able to cast an incapacitation effect on enemies and not go into combat, and then ress? I don't think so.

This spell should make you enter combat, it is there the exploit is.
Casting Divine Hymn while not in combat, and it hits ur enemies and it won't make you go into combat so you can ress (hopefully they've used trinket )

Cheers!

Thanks for the comments guys, and I'm surprised that people think that a 10-second stun that _doesn't_ get you in combat is intended.

Anyways, it really is useful, as i said. We did get resses some times with this thing (otherwise getting a rez is almost impossible, only if the other guy is braindead), it's really easy to pull off if you know what to do. Pretty hard if it's a melee tho.

Tested and is working great +Rep x2 for you

Used it a couple of times in arena Love it!

[Hikarie]

Useful for Nelf Priests.

[Evilzlo]

Malkith, glad it helped you.

Hikarie, why exactly nelf? My priest parter is dwarf and it helps us alot too. Tho i imagine that with shadowmeld it would be easier to pull of, but don't forget that shadowmeld doesn't get you out of combat nowdays.

To put it to some of you wondering and flaming. This is working as intended. This is not a exploit. This is nevertheless a huge find that will be able to win you alot of games if your priest.
