[Engineering] Unlimited Slowfall

Or to contribute apparently.

Because I don't like to post half-assed garbage in hopes for...wait for it....wait for it....ZOMG1!1!111one! REP does not mean I can't and won't contribute; however, for the meantime, why should that stop me from posting on crap people try to pass off as exploits? I leech and I'm proud of it.

Look at what you made me do! You made me go off-topic!

I think this is NOT intended, yet it isnt something blizzard could be bothered about, its a good exploit for explorers and yet they rarely harm the game.

[Hi on helium]

how is this not useful, as a hunter i can use most of my shots when i parachute so if someone is in the air on their mount, i get to max range higher than them, dismount and use my parachute and start shooting, then i can just keep infinite parachute so i don't have to worry about falling and dying at the end. +2 rep

P.S. if this was working as intended than why would there even be a cooldown, and blizz probably doesn't know about this because it would be an easy hotfix

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you only switch out weapons during combat? not your armor? I'm pretty sure you can't even UN-equip armor during combat, let alone equip it.


just my twocents x 2

Another:
Why oh why did they nerf Rocket boots for flag carrying..
Get 5 boots, attach rocket boots to them all, use one, switch to other boots
repeat, win. (well oke gcd but still would be epic)

Unless someone else knows how to get this to a good use somewhere?

See I have the same profession. There is a 30 second global timer between when you can use it after equipping. I use a macro so it equips as soon as I use my parachute. Then I spam it when my current parachute is about to run out, bam, unlimited parachute and the other one is at 30 second CD. I use this macro all the time.

I fly from Top of IF to WPL in 2 minutes w/ no flight path.

Today I was playing with my parachute cloak and noticed there's 30 seconds between when the buff ends, and when it's use-able again. Coincidentally, the cooldown of an item that's recently been equiped is 30 seconds. Using this, I made a macro that would allow you to keep using slowfall between two cloaks, therefore enabling you to parachute forever.

Here's the macro:

/use 15
/equipslot 15 Cloak#1
/equipslot 15 Cloak#2

Switch Cloak#1 and Cloak#2 for your two cloaks with the parachute enchant on it. When using the macro, make sure you wait until the buff fully wears off (When you begin to fall at normal speed) and then click it again. It will use the parachute cloak of your currently cloak and equip your next cloak, which will fall off cooldown at the exact time that the buff ends.

For those of you who think this is working as intended and not an exploit, Blizzard put cooldowns on these obviously for the very reason of not letting you use the cloak infinitely. With this macro, you can use it infinitely.

Oooooor, you simply roll a priest and get Glyph of levitate =)

been doing this for a long time, pvp and pve cloak always on me. Also 4 pairs of boots, rocket boots every 30 secs is real handy, especially on things like baron runs of strath.

ive been doing this for so long it isnt really even an exploit.. plus there is a ~1 second gap in between the slow falls so you will not maintain speed after going for the 30 seconds. no rep from me
