Frost Nova Unbreakable.

[Cheat'R]

While testing out the new frost mage changes from 4.0.6 on a test dummy, I noticed something strange..

The Freeze effect from Frost Nova was only being removed after the timer is up.

Damage does not break the root, use this while it works.

For example: A 24k FB + 22k BF + 15k IL + 15k IL did not break the root.

lol this is because the target dummys only have 1 hp and are unkillable

I never said they were killable, I said the root didn't break, and before 4.0.6 the root would definitely break on dummies.

Frost nova breaks after a certain amount of damage is done, since the dummies only have 1 hp and their health pools don't drop, it doesn't acknowledge that any damage is being done so it lasts for the full duration. And although I haven't done much with target dummies this expansion, I can tell you that this was the case for most of WoTLK if not all of it.

nova doesn't break on dummies been like that forever.

I'm guessing that the reason it worked for you in the previous patch is because you started your frost nova when the dummy was at full hp, but in your tests today you started when you already had the dummy down to 1hp. Test that theory and *confirm this is working against real people* (before posting) to see if frost nova still isn't breaking from damage. Until then, NO THEORIES unless your exploit is that you can kick a target dummy's ass. In which case, NO USELESS.

I don't understand why people post this NO THEORIES NO USELESS bull.. in their post. I mean the person that started this thread has 277 posts and has obviously contributed a lot of positive information in the past. He simply tried to share something that he tried. When you try telling someone that their exploit isn't working for you and what you did or didn't do in order to prove that, but post that rule that everyone can see.

That brings me to my input, which is no the nova didn't stay on my target for its full duration and was in fact broken to damage. Like stated before you must have had the dummy at 1% and it wasn't counting any damage being taken, therefore the nova effect didn't drop. Your head was in the right place Cheat'R.

People post it because it is a rule. He has 277 posts and didn't bother to test his "exploit." He could have easily done in a minute by dueling someone instead of only testing on dummies that have been known to not work exactly the same as other "fights." That, and his post count is inflated by flaming countless people incessantly, repping reposts, and posting other busted exploits. I have little room to talk since I've not contributed much, but it doesn't change the fact that the rules here exist. Also, I did try telling him why the exploit was or wasn't working, but I can't do all his testing for him as I don't have a mage and that's not my job since I'm not the OP.

It's totally not like someone with 277 posts could possibly post something retarded? He didn't even check that his "exploit" actually was a exploit and instead just posted some random shit unverified to try and get some quick rep.

Big talk for someone that has 2 rep and joined 2 years before me. I don't need to get quick rep, I have enough and it doesn't matter in the first place.

Sorry if the thread wasn't up to your, er, standards.

[Sativ]

Not trying to down play your findings but...

My mages nova/Freeze never broke on dummies =Z

[Phoen!x]

Same here, my frost mage never broke any dummies in the past.

Thanks for trying to contribute and testing it. I believe that all these flamers on MMOwned should stop posting. That's just my opinion. I hate seeing
[NO QUESTIONS HERE] - [NO "USELESS"] <--- Anyone that only read this part of my post: No, I'm not saying his thread was useless or a theory.
[NO EMU STUFF HERE] - [NO "THEORIES"]
when in fact the post was NOT a question, NOT useless, and NOT a theory. I really hate people that post in threads saying "NOOB NO THEORIES THIS DOESNT WORK" when they just tested it wrong, AND the thread maker says he tested it and its working.
This is getting very annoying.

Flame this post as much as you want, I'm sharing a perfectly valid opinion on flamers.

This is why communities with anything to do with warcraft ARE ALL TERRIBLE,

you really need to go get some anger management counseling.... ive seen a few posts today with you in them and you allways seem to be SERIOUSLY DEFENSIVE about things.
