18-28k permanent intellect buff as a Mage !

[AraiXplorer]

Hey guys

It's been a looooong time since I started a thread here, but I come today with big, big stuff.

This exploit revolves around one item : Black Blood of Y'Shaarj. It's a caster trinket that drops on Garrosh. I only tested with the Normal, non-warforged version, but I assume it works with every version of it.

A bit of technical information here : When this trinket procs, it applies two buffs on you. First : the Wrath buff, which is a 1 to 10 stack counter. This buff also applies the Intellect increase to your character. Second, the Wrath of the Darkspear buff, which is a countdown from 10. When Wrath of the Darkspear falls off in any way (expiration, trinket removal, buff removal) the Wrath buff falls off too.

tl;dr : The Wrath buff increases your Intellect, and is controlled by Wrath of the Darkspear.

You guessed it, all we have to do is keep the Wrath buff alone and get rid of Wrath of the Darkspear.

There's the "Mage only" part. Equip the trinket and make it proc (dps a training dummy f.x.). Now wait until it reaches 10 stacks. When Wrath of the Darkspeak is about to timeout, use Alter Time. During the 6s of Alter Time, you must get a second proc. It's completely random, and it took myself around 50 tries to reproduce it (I did this first by pure random luck in a duel). And if you're lucky, you'll get the Wrath bug alone, fully stacked and never falling off.

But wait ! There's more !

You can remove the trinket, log out, zone out and enter instances and keep the buff ! yeah I promised you big stuff
Be careful, death cancels the effect.

Feel free to ask any questions !

Enjoy

Edit :

About the title : this trinket exists in 6 versions (LFR, Flex, Normal, WF Normal, Heroic, WF Heroic) with different proc values, hence the buff range

EDIT 2: If the trinket procs again, you will lose the buff upon proc expiry. To keep it, take the trinket off.

[meilleure]

[JhonnyQ]

You need more than a second proc to make this work during alter time (unless this is fixed already).
Been testing this on a training dummy.
Got the second proc and I didn't keep the buff, after some more testing got another second proc,
again nothing.

Btw is there some reason the OP is naked in the video? With no haste that's going to dramatically
reduce the proc rate. You should be getting the second proc one time in 10 with decent raid gear.

Not clear to me exactly what the mechanics of this exploit are. Has any one else got this to work?

Tried this several times aswell, got the 2nd buff after alter timing at 10 stacks of Wrath and 0.2 secounds of Wrath of the Darkspear. Didn't work D:

Haste hasn't modified RPPM trinkets since 5.4 hit

Sick find!

btw since you are worried about your character name and stuff, you did a nice job covering it, except on 2:05, you can fix it

Couldn't repeat the bug either. I AT'd at the 0.2~ second mark, and got my other proc, but didn't maintain the buff.

EDIT: I was able to duplicate it. Apparently, my timing was off. You really do have to cast it at the last 0.1-2 seconds of the duration. The 'trick' is for it to essentially INSTANTLY fall off as soon as it comes back via AT.

That was the reason. Set the video to private, should return in a few hours. Thanks for the heads up

I also tested with full raid gear (574 ilvl) and got 850k dps with only self buffs. With bloodlust went to 1.3M dps for like 30 seconds.

Exactly, right before the buff expires. On the video I cast AT so late it looks like the WotD buff expired already. Damn 24fps FRAPS
Your 2nd Edit is very true, added in the first post.

Your in combat, so how are you guys removing the trinket on the second proc? You have to drop combat
to change trinkets.

Just dps a training dummy and stop dps when you want to drop combat, then change trinkets.

I thought you meant you had to unequip the trinket during 6-second window of opportunity, sorry my bad.
