[Engineering] Hyperspeed Accelerators bug

[Kaw]

Hey i've been leeching these forums for too long and finally discovered something worth posting that ive never seen or heard of before.

This only benifits casters and can be slightly confusing to understand.

Ok so as an engineer you have a glove enchant called 'Hyperspeed Accelerators' which when used grants 340 haste for 12 secs on use.

Now the bug is that when used with an instant cast (macro'd) at the end of a cast it will reset the global cooldown and you can use another ability at the same time. It sounds confusing so ill use an example.

I cast mind blast, and right at the end of the cast i spam a macro that uses my accelerators and devouring plague at the same time, devouring plague goes up and the global cd resets (instantly not 1.5sec later), i then cast shadow word: pain (which is applied at the same time as devouring plague). Basically you get a free global cooldown.

so on a timeline
0.0_start casting mind blast
1.1_mind blast hits
____accelorators+devouring plague cast
____shadow word: pain cast
2.6_insert next cast here

I can only assume it works with any other caster class but i cant see why it wouldnt work.

Yeah its only a gcd but any raider will tell you that every small thing counts and its especially helpfull on spriest openers.

Edit: didnt work for me :/

first i cast lavaburst....

then i use macro:

/cast frostschock
/use "accelator hands"

then i have gcd :.(

once i thought, i found the same with windshear, but the explanation is simple:
Lag. Once the first cast is out windshear then just kinda 'pings' the server to update gcd, which is then instantly refreshed (synced) to its real (server) state and the next spell, queued, applies.

[toad36]

wind shear has no GCD... unless it was changed in 3.3.3

[Kaw]

ill try and sort out a video since it definatly works for me.

try spamming the macro before your lava burst finishes then immediately something like a totem or lightning bolt.

*edit: heres my macro

/use 10
/cast Devouring Plague

try putting use 10 in front of frost shock

Hyperspeed Accelerators doesn't trigger gcd, same as nitro or saronite bomb, so u can use it while you are on gcd from another skill.

Where is exploit?

[Kaw]

try looking at what the exploit actually is first champ

[Timding]

Confirmed tried on my priest today and worked like a charm.

This could be awesome for a holy shock+flash of light combo. +rep

the accelerators are off the gcd ok, but when macro'd with an instant ability (dp for example) and then used at the end of a cast (mind flay for example) the ability its macro'd with doesnt produce a global cooldown.

you can clearly see in the video i posted mind flay then DP and then shadow word pain with no gcd in between.

Spammin so much shit in the video I couldn't tell when anything was used.

Slow it down to 50 or 25% speed and repost it.

Yea, it isn't an amazing exploit, but for a Mage, I could see this being used for either arcane or frost pvp.
Shatter and with the last ice lance use the HA -> Fireblast or something.
Arcane could do PoM -> HA+ABlast -> Arcane Barrage.

Ok? The reason why you facepalm those paladins has to be one of following:
1) You're bad
2) You're dumb
3) You only PvE and are bad and dumb
edit:+rep nice find. going to try it out.
