[Idea] Getting to GM island (horde only) 4.2

[toomuchsugar]

Alright so I spent some time trying to figure out a way to get to GM island on my Mage, found out I could port out of the barrier then slow fall back in and drop fatigue.
Can pretty much do that endlessly (don't do it in corners, you get stuck) gave up trying to find a way to mount up on the otherside, but this gave me the following idea...

Have a mage use this port in and out glitch to get to the shortest route between the barrier and GM island. once at said spot, you summon a goblin mage there and have him fly up as high as he possibly can, right before fatigue kicks in he blinks past the barrier and rocket jumps + slow falls to GM island /profit.

Would try this myself but I don't have a goblin Mage =\ or do I have any clue on which area would be the shortest travel time.

Edit: Now that I think about it, should only need 1 goblin mage to do this, I'm dumb.

And i don't get your idea but iirc, there's more than one barrier on the path to gm island.

Mages can blink past the barriers, the first barrier you come across you can simply go under. The second and 3rd one you can blink through, problem is once you blink into the abyss you fall you your death. If a Goblin was to Rocket jump they would have momentum and be able to slow fall to the next barrier then blink through it, after that it's just another rocket jump+ slow fall (assuming the GM island waters gives fatigue as well) to the island, could prolly just mount and fly the rest of the way.

Only problem is rocket jump has a long CD so it would most likely not be up for all of them. If you can use the Headdress of the First Shaman(Headdress of the First Shaman - Item - World of Warcraft) effect without having it equipped, then you would be able to mount up because the headdress stops you from falling.

Using my amazing paint skills, i decided to explain why i think the headdress can be used to go there :


Case 1 : use it on the end of the world land/water
Case 2 : use it on the blue walls
I'm not sure if blue walls can be targeted or if the target thing go through it but anyway, until you see the end of the world, you should be able to use the headdress.

After the Blue walls their are grids of sticky invisible wall's I don't thinks its possible unless you found a way to stand right at each corner of sticky paper.

They can't. The Headdress can only be used to "freeze" you when there is land present to target. The headdress will not get you to GM's island.

October is right around the corner... Flying Brooms for every Mage! :P

If you could set your view distance far enough to see until you get past the invisible walls, then it should work. It doesn't say there's a range on it, so as long as you can see even a little bit, it should be fine.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking about in my Case 1.
So, HDWoW still exists for cataclysm ? Would it be enough ?

And yes, otherwise you can wait for flying brooms..


Edit : seems like WoWMachinaTools can upgrade the distance view like HDWoW used to

Rocket Jump - Spell - World of Warcraft
Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like slow fall can't be used immediately after rocket jump.

[toomuchsugar]

It can, I run the flag on my engineer goblin hunter in this manner, rocket jump + slow fall cloak = win bg

Only problem is that that's basically using a hack/program, so if you're going to use that, you may as well just use a straight up teleport or speed+no clip hack.

You can blink through blue walls... I've done it at least 60 times, and they are no longer sticky since they were changed in cata release. You used to be able to blink through and mount up but this was fixed pretty quickly. Could anyone with a goblin mage try this? started leveling one just for this but I keep getting side tracked =\

there is a 10second CD on any "slowfall effects" on rocket jump, and rocket jump also removes them
