Arena "drinking in combat"

[zawislak]

Hi all
1. sry for bad eng
2. This is trick / exploit i dont know, but when u out of combat and heal someone or cast somethink on enemy or friendly player in combat and after u will spam drinking button u start drink in combat

this trick is good for healers like as druids and others

[HalfSlant]

this is called drink casting and is very old. grats on finding it yourself though.

too add to you idea, you can cast a long heal (Greater Heal) then spam an instant (Renew) and still get a drink off before entering combat.

i know it works preWotlk but any post of this trick isnt here

Common sense imo. Casting a spell and hitting the drink button before it lands and you get in combat.

We call it heal drinking

It's generally referred to as healdrinking. You can actually land an additional instant cast spell as the heal lands as well before drinking, for example gheal->renew as it lands->drink. When I spoke to a GM a couple of years ago about this, he said they considered it to be "a clever usage of game mechanics", although I vaguely remember an official statement on it from the past in which they expressed their disapproval of it.
