Tainted core bug (?) - Mages

[eldiablo]

We were doing SSC today on Vashj and i got the core, but i was LOS for the person i needed to so i blinked, and loe and behold it worked.

I searched to see if it was posted before but couldn't find it anywhere, but yea, it helped me alot today if i was too far below the stairs or someone was out of range.

Explain in more depth. This, currently, does not make any sense to me.

In SSC, the final boss (Lady Vashj) spawns elementals, nagas, and some other thing i cant remeber the name of off the top of my head. During this phase she is in a bubble held in place by a shield and there is 4 shield barriers, As the mobs spawn occasioanlly there will be a Tainted Elemental. When you kill it, he drops a tainted core. When you pick it up you are frozen in place and unable to move or anything. However you kill him at the bottom of a staircase so you need to relay it to people at the top, and have someone use the core on the shield generator to break one of the beams.

As a mage, when you have the core, you are still able to blink, thus moving you into better positiong to throw it to the next person (or getting past LOS issues from the stairs).

Hope this makes more sense...

The tainted cores that are obtained during phase 2 of Lady Vashj's encounter cause you to be unable to move. As a mage he blinked and was able to move the few couple of yards he needed to throw the core. This is why he is asking if it is a bug or not, because your not suppossed to move.

I thought this was common knowledge to any mage who has actually every been to Vashj
Only time you cant blink is when you are unable to control your character so it makes sense

[Scrogglez]

yeah i did this a few months ago while my old guild was killing vashj, doesn really change the fight. Just helps i guess if your catcher isnt in his spot on time.

Could come in handy

Sorry, but.. old "news". Since mages can blink while being stunned etc., its no different with the core debuff.
