[Beta] Bouncy Pandas

[mobikenobi]

Currently in the beta the pandaren passive "Bouncy" says "You take half falling damage."

It does just that, because falling damage is capped at your total hp, if you have 250k health and fall from the sky you will take 250k falling damage.

With bouncy you will only take 125k. So if you have 130k hp and fall from the sky, you will have 5k hp remaining.

Tl;dr you cant really die with the bouncy passive unless you are trying to on purpose

So wait, your posting in the exploits to say it's working as intended?

[Squido]

I don't think it was intended to make you unable to die from fall damage.

The maximum amount of fall damage you can take is capped by your hit points. The maximum fall distance you can take without dying is 65 yards without any modifiers (glyphs, bubbles, iceblock, ect.). Normally falling any further should cause you to die. the pandaren racial though cuts that damage you take in half. If you fall from a hieght of 100 yards, well above the kill range you will take damage equal to your maximum hit points, the racial will then come into play and cut that in half. If you have 100k hit points, you will only take 50k damage.

Here is a video I made so show what he means.

In other news, grass is green

No he's saying you can't die from fall damage. Obviously unintended since fall damage caps at max HP if it's cut in half as long as you have more than half your health you can fall from any height without dying.

[Akrolodoxis]

But havent Rogues the same thing as passive and even a glyph to double the half again? Wich lead in 3/4 damage reduction... wich isnt capped at anything? Because the fall heigt is just increased by 1,75 factor... wich i think they wanted to do on pandaren too.

Of course its capped by your hp, people who fall further will die regardless. All the passive does it makes you able to fall twice as far, any further and you will die.

No it doesn't, and that's the entire reason it's an exploit.

[mobikenobi]

As previously stated, you cannot die from the bouncy passive from a single fall, whereas with safe fall you can.

[thephoenix3000]

It's simple.

Currently - Bouncy takes any fall damage you take and cuts it in half. The maximum fall damage you can take is equal to your maximum hit points. With bouncy that means the maximum you can take is half of your maxim hit points.
Eventually - They will reword/rework the racial to state "You can fall twice as far" or something along those lines.

As you can see in the video I fall a distance much further then what is physically allowed by any other race/class in the game.

Warriors, mages, goblins, druids etc would like a word with you.
