The Drakkensryd - Drink while fighting

[Bluter]

Today I did this Quest in Stormpeak:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12886

If you jump on a drake and kill the mob on it wait till you get out of combat and start drinking till your manabar is full. Now target the next drake, start drinking again and jump over, now you still drink even if you attack the mob on the drake. Not a big thing but useful for some classes.

You can still cast spells while on the dragon back, so you should be able to drink while not in combat, since it doesn't count as movin, not really. I thought this was common sense:P

Working as intnded

[Bluter]

This is definetly not intended, you can fight/heal and keep drinking, look at the picture

[Zerodps]

This is working as intended, and as long as you are not in combat you can drink this is one of the most basic things.

[Sensisativa]

It is NOT working as intended.

As the OP stated, after drinking and jumping to the next drake you can fight the mob, but you still have you're drinking debuff and it still gives you mana.

If this was working as intended, you would stop drinking as soon as you went into combat.

Working as intended, you need to be able to cast/eat/drink on this Q, Blizzard expect casters to try and melee the mobs down you think?

You are half right.

They do expect you to cast/eat/drink, but as soon as you go into combat you should lose your eat/drink buff.

Just like when you go into combat well eating/drinking anywhere else, you lose your buff. Stop gaining mana/hp

Why would it allow you to do it here?


Edit - Some one back me up here? Maybe I'm just way too high, but basic combat mechanics make this seem like it is NOT intended to me.

What sensis say is true. ye ofc u can drink while on the drake etc, but if u attack a mob and get into combat, u should loose the debuff... And whoever that says that this is intended need to learn the fighting mechanics

[Knucklerot]

hehe you're right sensi...this isn't intended...I don't think other people are reading. He's NOT saying that drinking on the drake in an exploit. He's saying that drinking WHILE fighting the guy on the drake is an exploit.

The same trick also works when you're helping Brann in Storm Peaks during the plane escape scene. (forgot the name of the quest)
