Attack while Invisible

[rdr1994]

Hey all, I did use the search option on the forum with keywords: Invisible, Attack while Invisible, and Nibelung and nothing came up, if it's a repost i'll delete thread asap.

First off I only tested this with mage, but I suppose it could work with night elf casters aswell.
For this trick you need the staff Nibelung which drops off Lady Deathwhisper in Icecrown Citadel 25 man,

now for the exploit: If you get a val'kyr spawn from Nibelung (you can get up to 3 at a time) and then cast Invisibility (as a mage) the val'kyr will still attack the target.

This is not working as intended (for mage atleast) because up and till now the only pets I ever saw attacking some one while invisible are these Guardian val'kyr.

Summarized:
1. Get Nibelung
2. Get adds to spawn
3. cast invisibility
4. watch adds still attack(you can still see them)
5. ???
6. profit

PS: these add will keep you in combat so you can't just invis and go eat while adds are attacking things.

They have pet bar?

If i remember right, Water Elemental is still out there and attacking while the mage is Invisible, so think its working as intended

[rdr1994]

last time I tried with water elemental will just follow you when you turn invisible, I've also seen this in duels against other mages, and no the vrykul don't have pet bars, but at 1v1 it's guaranteed they attack the correct target, if XvX they'll attack the hostile targets

water elemental doesnt attack when you are invisible, checked few days ago.

[ArekuGureman]

the closest thing to the nibelung valkyrs is the mirror images, they have no pet bar, and mirror images used to keep attacking while you went invis (i don't know now, i stopped playing my mage in 3.1)

This really isn't an exploit.

The NPC's that spawn are not pets, nor under your control they are "Guardians". The Guardians are written to attack/assist your target after you create the threat, as well as defend you should you take hostile attacks.

What you are referring to is a simple game mechanic confusion. When you go invisible, you are essentially leaving combat by phasing into a pseudo stealth. Your NPC's will still be with you while you phase out, and they will be AGGRO'ed to the attacker. However when you do leave combat, you will no longer have those NPC's they will not be part of your combat damage.

In no way is this beneficial.

Mirrors do attack while invis is up and so does the adds from the staff so it is indeed working as intended

[HunterTricker]

Useless? atleast in pve

It is not an exploit.

What do people not understand about, you dropping combat and non pet "Guardians" continue to cycle a threat list in which you get no credit for.


Your Guardian is not going to kill someone, it will not kill another player, nor another mob. So its not beneficial. On the slight off chance the player is at 1% and your guardian kills that player while you are out of combat the flag for dominance on who controls damage against that player will not be rewarded to you.

Thus, NOTHING is happening here.

totally useless and no exploit

Ehm you are aware of the fact 3 guardians can spawn at a time they do 1.5k-2k damage per 1.5 sec crit over 2.5k? I've won plenty of duels with it, they can and will kill other players if you time your invis/IB properly, for the exploit part, I already requested it to be moved to guide section

You should stop leeching and try contributing your self....

[Shorter]

so this does work?
