Frost mage - attack UNFLAGGED enemy players and heal your pet/friends

[stopbugging]

A similar exploit was noted in another thread (Frost mage healing players), but the even MORE abusable thing I found is the ability to attack UNFLAGGED enemies and some friendly NPCs. It works great for one-shotting lowbies.

In short, you go Frost spec with your Water Elemental and create a focus macro for Frostbolt.

/use [@focus] Frostbolt

With NO focus set and not targetting anything, hitting this macro fires a Frostbolt at your Elemental, healing it.

With focus set on a FRIENDLY unit and not targetting anything, hitting this macro fires a Frostbolt at your focus, healing them.

And the best use, with focus set on an ENEMY unit (and some friendly NPCs) and not targetting anything, hitting this macro fires a Frostbolt at your focus, damaging them. They do NOT have to be flagged and occassionally you won't get flagged either. I tested this in Gadgetzan and the guards did not react at all (might be a quirk since I one-shot him).

Just make sure you aren't targetting anything, but instead casting via your focus and macro.

I just tried this in Hyjal. Neither me or the enemy was flagged. I got flagged plus a zillion guards instantly ran out and blew me to bits.

Confirmed working

Did you set them as focus and then click your water elemental before you pushed the macro ? if not you just shot a real frostbolt at them

omg I gotta try this <3

Nope looks like your right doesn't work in gadgetzan guards killed me as well.

wow thats great. I didnt know that before.
With that Exploit you can attack some NPC which you arent able to attack otherwise.
I just killed Grinkle the Fishing Promoter in Orgrimmar for example.

Edit: wanted to use that on somebody who is in a duel to heal him. but it shows the message "Target is in a duel" or something similar (Im using a german client)
with that macro you can cast Frostbolt on your current target without focusing it before. this makes it much easier.
/focus [exists]
/cleartarget
/cast [@focus] Frostbolt
/target [@focus]

Working on a PVE server. +++Rep!!!

Be careful of too much ganking- this is the type of exploit that gets people pissed off enough to write tickets.

Still works, ganking horde outside of org, epic

I killed the arcane reforger NPC in org using this... If I wasn't reported, could this be tracked to me?

Arcane reforger
Transmogrifier
Void storage
Some of the Pandaren in Stormwind
The level 2 Dragon Turtles
Naraat the Earthspeaker, the questgiver at the portals in stormwind.

Will post more as I find them.
