Eat/Drink while fighting on a vehicle

[Kezah]

Found this out while I was in SotA today, if you're on a vehicle (not driving it) and you eat/drink your food before you enter combat you will keep the buffs while casting ontop of the vehicle. So you'll stay at full mana while attacking from ontop of it.

Might be useful to some.

too bad i found this out a long time ago, and posted it, a long time ago =P It wasn't labeled "all vehicles" though. I only mentioned when you ride the dragons in the quest.

so therefore wouldn't it be a different exploit? :P
same mechanics however I suppose....

[tlaube]

Dragons are vehicles too. Don't be discriminatory. But yea, if this was indeed posted with Dragons, and it involved being able to eat/drink while being a passenger on the dragon. It would indeed be the same exploit of eating/drinking on a vehicle.

[rdr1994]

this is a diffrent exploit imo, as the dragons can't be used in PVP(?) and yes the idea may have been posted with dragons but that doesn't nessecarily say that it works for all ty for the exploit mate, will defo use this

[Kezah]

The difference from eating/drinking on other vehicles like those dragons as has been posted before, is that this actually lasts while you're in combat on the vehicle and casting and fighting ontop of it. In other vehicles you're not using anything that will cost mana anyway.

I'm thinking, mechano-hog, low mana, get up, drink, other person flees while the passenger is drinking..

Arenas Maybe?

Tried this with a friend, they get dismounted instantly. So mechano hog doesn't work.

oh wow this is soo awesome!!!1!!

I think I remember reading a patch 3.3 note about removing the ability to eat and drink on vehicles. If that's true then this exploit will not be around for long.

Just checked: http://www.curse.com/articles/wow-en-news/605405.aspx

under bug fix:

Eating and Drinking: Eating and drinking are now cancelled[sic] and prevented while in a vehicle as a passenger.

this does run out after a certain amount of time right? like its not constantly giving health?

[Kezah]

Well yes it runs out when the buff duration runs out.

[earthFlower]

Well yes it runs out when the buff duration runs out.

makes sense.
