Top of the Wintergrasp Relic Room

[BTLOFTM]

So I'm sure you all know how to use the chopper/mammoth to get through the relic doors in Wintergraps/SotA.. seeing as that is mostly useless to winning the battle now I wanted to have more fun with the room in Wintergrasp, by going a little farther up.

Requirements:

1. Flying Mount
2. Some form of Slow Fall
3. Chopper (I assume the mammoths also work for this)

Also you would probably get the most entertainment out of this by being a ranged class, however anything works.

While you can't just casually fly into the back of the fortress from Icecrown anymore, you can still manage to land on the top of the Relic (BG/Vault) room roof through some careful positioning and the use of Slow Fall (As a rogue I had to use my parachute cloak + a couple Noggenfogger, so this would be much easier as a priest/mage)

I landed right around here, and then used more slowfall to jump down as the arrow indicates..

You can actually skip this step and jump straight down to the snow in this next pic, but I wanted to add it for a sense of where I am exactly..

Again for clarity, this pic shows my location, which is right above the central area of the fortress..

Now all you do is turn around to the wall behind you (get on your chopper/mammoth) and go through (Next few pics show the chopper against the wall, and then what it looks like straight ahead and to my right, as well as a different camera angle from the right showing that I'm actually inside the top of the room)..

This is where you'll actually be if you walk a bit forward, as you can see the snow bank goes through it gives you a spot to stand..

You'll have to jump from there to where I am in the next pic (Keep in mind you'll either have to really work with the camera to get a better angle to jump from, or just kind of jump blindly as turning much will just end up with you seeing a lot of purple sky in the back rather than the room)..

From here you can have some fun, can target/cast at others (Also easier to be seen/cast at) however I find it would be much more useful to jump down into this hole (or any of them, there's one for each pillar)..

I actually fell into on accident due to having the tiny buff from Noggenfogger which makes it easiest to get in there, however you can also fit if you're normal size. What I like about this spot is that you can jump up and cast at others (I was shooting rockets at people) and if they attempt to return fire.. you can jump right back into the hole and be out of line of sight!

This is where I was standing (With my distract circle to demonstrate range/no line of sight issues). Keep in mind once you jump down here you can't get back to the upper ring, so pick which one you think would be best to gank from above ..

Afterwards I decided I'd dance on the relic for a bit until the horde broke through and capped it, so I just stealthed there in mid-air and went AFK for a bit..

Dammit, don't got vehicle mount

I also found that you don't actually have to be the one with the vehicle for things like this, it may take a couple attempts, but when the person driving the vehicle goes through a wall/door in this manner, if positioned correctly, they can also manage to force the passenger(s) through with them (Works with getting into Old IF, under SW, etc. as well).
