300% haste on timeless isle (Mages only)

[Rantsi]

Only for mages . while Xuen boss is up on middle you can go and spellsteal his Agility for 300% haste (lasts for 1min). I Think blizz didn't implement it for Cencerfarming after all.

Use Cencer of Eternal Agony before Spellstealing Xuen Agility , loads of people died from my nethertempest and other spells due to that haste . you can take it out of Ring aswell so you can use it on something else aswell than Cencerkilling.

Tell me one more thing, why would you call this a exploit? -.- Its a magic effect and you can spellsteal it, so it is working as intended.

Probably because 300% haste is INSANE, and coupled with the censor, you're going to rape in sight. Can you even imagine all of those nether tempests flying everywhere?

Sometimes, intended mechanics are abused. It's like farming instant respawning mobs. Did Blizzard intend for them to be instant? Yes. Did they intend for them to be farmed by higher levels for massive amounts of loot drops? Probably not, and they normally nerf it. (Ie Troggs)

Are you stupid or something?

BAck in Ulduar, mage could spellsteal the buff off plants in freya's room, and kill bosses super easy. Blizz hotfixed that pronto. So no, just because you can do it doesn;t mean it's intended.

With you logic, any "exploit" is intended because it's possible to do!

Well with your logic you don't even understand what an exploit is. It is in short terms an unintended bug. Spellstealing is a spell not a bug. Just because blizz forgot to turn something off or on, doesn't mean it's an exploit. Just a fault on them... When they see this fault they jump over it because they don't want people abusing this error. Not every error is an exploit. nor every bug an exploit. but every exploit is a bug.

I think you are both right here. Spellstealing is clearly a normal part of the game. In some circumstances due to Blizzard's oversight it has been gamebreaking. Does that make it an exploit? Who cares. It makes it interesting to post here whether or not its technically an exploit.

Actually, that's not entirely true. You've got a few things off the mark here.

First, yes, you're right, spellstealing a spell is not a bug. BUT, spellstealing a spell that Blizzard FORGOT to make un-stealable, with the intentions of using it for other purposes, is, in fact, exploiting. A "fault on them" that other people are using to kill massive amount of people with no effort...is an exploit. Plan and simple.

Second, you mention "Not every error is an exploit. nor every bug an exploit. but every exploit is a bug."

This is a little bit off. In fact, any error can be exploited, and any bug can be exploited. The bugs and errors themselves aren't exploits...but they become EXPLOITED.

And also, to be quite honest, not every exploit is a bug. In this instance with the spellstealing, it's not a bug, just something blizzard didn't make undispellable.

I don't even know where to start with a internet hero like yourself.. There are Tons of OP spells that mages can steal and blizzard only nerfs them if they get abused to much, like the naxxramas bone shield etc, I am no longer playing a mage but I noticed the buff as soon the patch came out since I loved to spellsteal everything possible back in the days.

Still, this is not something I would call a exploit, and yes it might be nerfed for sure if used for the wrong purpose but no exploit really.
