Rogues in SotA.

[Rookere]

In strand of the ancients, my friend went up against a full premade of ALL rogues.
They all picked up bombs,
stealthed,
shadowstepped to cannons to get past gates,
And then destroy the titan relics chamber with a rotation of bombs.
No way to stop that.

Posting this here as it probably isn't intended.

That's not an exploit, working as intented, if you search Youtube you will see many videos about it.

Working as intended? Okay then. Sorry.
Can't believe that would be working as intended though ^_^.

ya we actually have done this on my server before... working as intended, rogues can shadow step to the end.

We did something similar in WOTLK days where we got a full 40 man Engineer raid to WG, and we all just flew in to the fortress at the start of WG, and all 40 of us bombed the door. we were through the main door to the orb in 1 min... Just clever use of game mechanics but not an exploit. Good for youtube is all lol

Yes but, if you don't have ths cimetary, the bomb do not pop.

are you sure this works? i thought if you get past the gate there are no bombs / and you cannot cap a flag either??

Pretty much youd have to pick up the bombs from the starter landing. getting master this weekend id shadowstep to the cannon with one bomb and wait at the opposite gate to which we were attacking and cap that gy

That way people would ignore the opposite gate and i could run about 8 or 9 bombs per game to that gate with little effort from the spawn in about 20 to 30 seconds

I see,
Yeah i tried to step all the way to last main gate and there was no bombs ;( 15 rogue team would be sick though!

You are joking right? This isn't working as intended. Because blizzard decided to give rogues such a huge advantage that they can just SS through walls, right? Not as intended. Is an exploit. Youtube having videos doesn't mean blizzard meant for it to be that way.

[Eskiimo]

I should try this. Anyone got a link for youtube of this happening?

it really isn't an exploit... you see since bombs can't spawn all the way up the map if the doors aren't blown (only place is the docks at start), a rogue or two shadow stepping all the way to the very end of the map dropping a couple bombs is negligable since they would have to spend the next 3-4 min running all the way back to the beach and shadow stepping again back for a couple more bombs.

Basically the team decided to bring 15 rogues, either using preform av enabler addon, or just 3 party queing in vent at same time. It only takes like 10-12 bombs to finish off the last door, so very believable. It's just a fun use of something that blizz is not going to change.

Holy shit are people lazy. Go to youtube.com, type in rogue sota and its the VERY FIRST RESULT.

For those that are too lazy to even do that, here's an actual video.

They don't even need to go back. A rotation of bombs will kill it.

You really have no clue about it. I don't see any exploit there, just a clever use of game mechanics, and just like some1 said before, if no walls are down, a rogue will have to go back to the beach to take another bomb. And if it's a team full of rogues, the enemy team will probably suspect about it.

That's the thing though, they don't have to go back to the beach at all, all you need is one bomb each. As for enemy teams suspecting it, sure. Can they stop it if a PuG? Probably not.
