Strange And Peculiar Exploits (Patreon)

Here's a collection of weird exploits I've come across recently. While all of them have some kind of practical application, this is the type of article which tends to interest theorycrafters the most.

Isle Of Conquest Win Glitch

Shadow_Pako recently contacted me recently with a method to glitch Isle Of Conquest https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1150969993 .

 It is really quite ingenious. Essentially the team that is doing the glitching makes no attempt to defend itself and when the battle concludes their score will be negative, which fools the code into thinking the team has won. 

This concept can be applied to other areas of warcraft or indeed video games in general. 

Stacking Massive Stats Using Log-out Anomaly

Some abilities/items can be glitched in the following manner:

1. Go to instant log-out area (eg capital city).

2. Activate ability.

3. Log out.

4. Ability will persist at the same duration till you log back in, but the cooldown will continue running down in real-time. 

Generally speaking any effect will not have a practical usage. However I have discovered one significant application with the item *"Unleashed Mania"  https://www.wowhead.com/item=118904/unleashed-mania. 

Using periodic log-outs (one-hour!) I managed to stack my mage's normal 45K HP to over 150K in my garrison. Diminishing returns seem to be applying beyond this point. This actually has a practical application even though the HP does not last outside Draenor, any sort of shield based on HP (eg fleshcraft), blazing barrier (mage), Paladin (Shield Of Vengeance) will be super-powered for its duration. 

*This is not easy to obtain because relatively few players que for the wod-era tournament where you get this item. There are sometimes dedicated individuals who use group finder to attract players.

Azerite Gear HP Boost In-World

A simple trick for world pvp outside Shadowlands, equipping the Heart Of Azeroth from BFA gives you a noticeable boost to your HP, between 5-10K for the necklace alone. With full Azerite gear you can get an extra 15-25K. This makes abilities based around maximum health quite over powered. This is due to an anomaly in stamina between BFA and Shadowlands with the latter dramatically reducing health pools.

Mage Enhanced Invincibility Trick

Recently I made a public video about a trick to become invincible. Player A invited you into a scenario while player B got into combat with something. If player was killed he could accept the invite and then leave the group returning at full health to where they died instantly. This works for all classes. This trick has proven extremely popular-my own realm(s) regularly get raided by invincible players to this day. 

Mages can enhance this trick by entering the "Lion's Landing" scenario you can que for from Lorewalker Han, in the Seat Of Knowledge, in the Valley Of Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria. This scenario has a pvp style power-up near the entry point, it also has multiple npc shamans with earth shields that stack to 10-these can be spellstolen for a significant amount of healing-approximately half of my mage's HP. Simply steal the shields and exit the scenario.
