[5.4] Shadowstep Exploit (Huge potential) Get to Nefarian without killing anything

[eids]

I got locked outside of the gates to Gothik the Harvester when I told one of my party members to come next to the gate and see if I could shadowstep through, and it worked, and this have never been worked before, so patch 5.4 must have broken Shadowstep LoS.
Me and a friend started looking for potential spots to step to, so we tried Utgarde Keep, Naxx, BWL and UBRS.

There is a few restrictions however. The target you shadowstep have to be a enemy mob or a player that already got through the object. You have to force the npcs half way through the gates for it to work. You have to hug the object to get inside it while you shadowstep, otherwise you'll get a "LOS" error.

Watch the video to see what I've figured out so far.

SS has been like this for some time now. Below are some examples of people using this once great exploration tool. AFAIK up until recently there was no LoS period.

This exploit is not like any of those, while they are similar this one only requires mobs which are fairly easy to find in an instance. This exploit can make you step through almost all doors that acts like objects just by pulling the mob close enough or having a friend on the other side. Up until this patch, if i got locked outside a boss room i could not step into the room because of LoS issues, now i can. Also you can now cast any spells when you are this close, like my friend healer that got locked outside a boss in MGT could heal the tank through the door, or the priest in the video gripping me down from the boss platform.

Kinda off-topic, but can I ask what addon you're using for the shadowstep etc to fade in the middle of the screen?

No you cant, but the bug has potential, since you can basically get to places where you are not meant to access
