[Death Knight] Horn of winter/frost presence bug (~+300ap)

[Cdap]

I did a search for "Death knight bug", "Horn of winter bug", "frost presence bug", and nothing came up, so sorry if this is a repost.

For this to work, you need to have the talent "Bladed Armor" (Bladed Armor - Spell - World of Warcraft). This bug works by using Horn of Winter and frost presence.

Do the following:

1. Activate frost presence
2. Cast horn of winter
3. Switch to either blood or unholy presence
4. You will retain the AP bonus from bladed armor working with frost presence.

Because frost presence adds 60% armor, it buffs bladed armor, and horn of winter prevents the AP from being lost while changing presences. In T8 gear, it adds roughly 300 ap, but you have to repeat the above steps whenever horn wears off to retain the effect.

Hmmm, pretty nice. Can anyone confirm this?

I don't have a dk I can hop on right now to take pics, but I will try tomorrow. If any DK's can post pics it would be appreciated.

Hmmm.... i remember seeing something very similair when DKs first came out... but all it is is the way Bladed Armor works... it checks every 30secs for your armor, then adjusts your AP accordingly. Try it out.

Will test it now.

Edit: Does not work. You don't even get AP from the Frost Presence armor bonus.

It worked for me. Confirmed and +rep.

[ChildeRoland]

Sure it wasn't only the AP from HoW?

[SuperNinjaBob]

I've just tried it on my Death Knight.
I can confirm it does not work.

The Frost presence and the blood talent doesn't update instantly, you'll have to wait a certain time.

[ChildeRoland]

Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

i really think this is the most common repost for dks

its being stated here several times on frost presence
named on arena junkie several times
and ej

overall if anyone didn't know its still a nice bug

although if you help to getin advantage in arena chances are this won't work due to rune of fc weapon enchant and any armor buff/debuff

Doesn't seem to work =\

[ChildeRoland]

I did (after 10 minutes of wating) get the bonus AP. However it went away when I lost HoW

[dracona]

haha this does work, i realised this a long time ago, never thought of posting because i thought someone had already posted it, and since u got a bunch of leechers going round saying "repost" with no proof, and most of the pro ppl just simply believing them, either way i'd get ridiculed in some way

ANYWAYS
+ this is definitely confirmed. ive done it a million times meself xD
+rep

ChildeRoland: How did you have bonus AP for 10 minutes when HoW lasts 2-3 minutes? I am clearly misunderstanding something
