Hi everyone, this is my first post on mmowned, hope it helps .

This is a tip for when you are farming or grinding and dont want to lose durability when you die.

Basically, i was grinding on my friends paladin when i found this.

My friend's paladin is a 241 gnomish engineer and he has an item called "Gnomish Death Ray".The gnomish death ray(http://thotbott.com/i10645) shoots out a big ray when you use it, but also deals a small amount of damage to yourself. The gnomish death ray requires 240 gnomish engineering to make(I think I'm right but please confirm) and it is BOP when made, meaning you can't have another person make it for you.

As long as the death ray's damage kills you, you won't lose durability on your gear. To do this, the best way i can think of is to crowd control and/or stun the mob/mobs you are fighting, and use the death ray.

The Gnomish Death Ray does about 100 damage every second for 4 seconds to yourself, I Tested if this damage scales with amount of health, and it doesn't. The damage dealt to yourself may scale with level of player but i have no way of testing that right now. My testing was done on a 65 pally, if that helps. Also, the damage the death ray deals is phisical damage so watch out for that.

The death ray takes 4 seconds to cast, and you will have to stand still while you cast.

If you are a rogue with cheat death, this might not work every time.

The only use for this is to save a bit of money when you are about to die, as it has saved me many times from a 10% durability loss.

Please note that if you do this right it will kill you, and you will have to run back to your body from the graveyard. But, if you are going to die anyway and dont want to lose durability, this helps.

I discoverd and tested this just today, (Saturday, April 21, 2007) on a live server.

Please know that I found this on my own(by accident really).I playing on a friend's account, helping him get to 70.


Sorry about how long the post was, but i wanted to include everything i could think of!
Thank you for reading my post.:wavey:

kind of obvious and i don't really understand the point of this. wouldn't a high level have some kind of trinket on that could potentially save him in this situations without him dieing? and why would a lowbie really care that much about a simple dura loss enough to be carrying around a deathray.

[Rflet]

Its not really all that obvious... and what lvl are you? not every high lvl has "Some sort of trinket" that saves you.. im lvl 70 and an engineer, i though this was a great idea, also very nice post, keep it up.

Or you could CC the mob and run away instead of killing yourself ^^

[Zaldion]

True they could carry something else around but if they wanted the deathray to help dmg lets say this would be a handy trick. Will rep you in a moment.

I quit about 2 years ago as a level 60, and looking at the trinkets now available, you could get some nice figurines from a jewel crafter, such as http://thottbot.com/i21756 << golden hare... just pop it and strafe sideways from the mobs... O_o

your points valid for a lowbie, but a high level carrying a deathray for dps??? what class is he? a prot warrior?

and as a prot warrior myself i do have trinkets to escape (+health and dodge) also last stand and stuff but what about when u wipe on a boss and stuff as dps the boss runs at u boom death ray this can be very usefull

the idea alone doesnt deserve rep but how clearly you explained it and the proof you gave clearly does so +rep for you!!!

Private servers man, I saw this thread on the new exploits list on main page.

[cdillio]

That was my pally.
=P.

Yeah I use the Death Ray for these situations. So what?

[BloodhoofMage]

I agree this is a good idea. ++++rep for you my friend

[Pinkhair]

Goblin sapper charge works better. Also can be used in battlegrounds to avoid a death on the scoreboard.

See, if i could switch trinkets durring combat i woulden't bother with this.

Way back when (Pre-BC x500) I found a quest chain while leveling an alt that begun in winterspring. It was a very long and annoying quest chain that i was doing on my alt in order to get XP.

About 3/4th's through the questline you get an item called "Crystal of Zin-Malor" (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13347). This Item is a trinket, and when you equip it, you periodically (every 1 second) take between 100-500 damage (it picks a number, like 340 and deals that every one second) and lose between 100-500 mana. The effect WILL kill you if you dont take off the trinket, but you will not take durability damage.

All in all, the Crystal is a fun toy...Using it to kill you in main cities, If you're doing a naked run in an instance, or if you just like it because it makes you turn dark purple and have a black mistlike effect swirl around you....ITs all good.

So yeah, The Deathray is a good idea, but all in all, I wouldent wear it just to save myself 10% of my repair bill...Now only if i could switch trinkets durring combat...
