How to cap WW in Gilneas with a 4second headstart (Engineering and preferable Worgen)

[Cya_Later]

This week I noticed that you are again able to use Rocket Boots in RBGs (Mind you, the TBC Rocket Boots, not the Belt Enchant).
For those who don't know what item I'm talking about:
Rocket Boots Xtreme - Item - World of Warcraft
Rocket Boots Xtreme Lite - Item - World of Warcraft

Now these boots increase your speed by 300% for 3seconds, so putting yourself at a total of 400%. If you're a Worgen, you can use Darkflight at the same time (Yes it stacks multipletively), boosting it upto a total of 540% speed. (As a comparison my flying mount speed is 450%).

Now with some basic math (and keeping in mind that most ppl will run at 240%), you'll have about a 4sec headstart on the flag. Since you're probably Alliance, this will put you at 5sec+ headstart, making it really easy for your team to just drop a smokebomb on you for the remaining 3seconds and slow the offensive team.

On a side note, you can switch gear during a rated BG battle.

(Last tested 13/02)

Even though this is not an 'exploit', as it was intended to make these items usable again, I can't guarauntue that you will not get banned for this.

Like you said its not an exploit but still cool as hell. I don't see how this is bannable, everything is working as intended its just a clever use for em.

Nice find. +rep

Is darkflight+rockets faster than Heroic Leap?
If not, could also be a warrior and Heroic Leap the last bit to be a bit faster.

And this has been fixed : (

Every exploit does not have to be compared to exploits regarding macros and such. In my opinion this is an exploit, it gives you an advantage over the other team. When I had the engineering boots on my rogue sprint wouldn't stack. So imo definitely exploitive.

[Tikken27]

This is no longer do-able, the boots can not be used in rateds any more.

Is this not working then in rbgs or?
