Fix the Abuse Mob in UBRS!

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

Would love to see this fixed fast as possible.

It is funny how all the Min/Max and top Raiding Guild abuse this Mob , using Priest Mind Control , pick Fire Resistance , enter Molten Core/Onyxia/Blackwing Lair and be the hero who can clear them without a single Fire Resistance Gear equipped!

Such silly mistakes must be fixed soon as possible, thanks to this Mob , you can very easy avoid not crafting fire resistance Gear and Tank all Fire Resistance requirement Raid Bosses on normal Tanking Gear.

Another abuse item (legit abuse) is , stacking tons of Manual Crowd Pummeler.

Druids collecting this items and stacking in their bags, can do beyond 2000 dps or threat as Bear , (which is value of High End fully Geared Igniting Mage) , item from Gnomeregan so powerful , even better than Naxxramas equipment (which is not making any sense).

Simple fix could be done to this Item , making it Unique or Share the Stacks all together , regardless of the amount of Weapons you got in Bags.

Shouldn’t you go fail tanking as a paladin instead of crying over things that are actually meant to work.

This was known back in vanilla.

There were other MC-enabled buffs too. Most were kinda pain in the behind to manage. There were at least one that I remember you don’t yet have access which made mages even more of a god. I think it was removed quickly and should not be in game.

Druids were doing crowd pummeler too, none of them ever made top of dps charts even with that.

Sigh… Does anyone still take this guy seriously?

He’s too bad at the game to utilize game mechanics to his advantage so he cries for things to get nerfed instead.

Wait, so the guild killing Ragnaros within a week of Classics release did so by abusing mind control of priests?

No there is no abuse. This is how mindcontrol works. Mobs all over the game have abilities you can use to give buffs and do various things with. People did this back in 2005/2006 all the time.

If you are unfamiliar with Killerduki, he’s a compulsive lier who claims to have tanked all of Vanilla as a Prot Paladin. In truth, he was never 60 in Vanilla, and his experience is exclusively from private servers with loads of bugs in favor of Protection Paladins. He has been spouting off nonsense for years, and has a personal vendetta against anyone that disagree with his idea that Protection Paladins are equally viable to Warrior tanks in Classic.

Yes, that’s what they do , they Mindcontrol Mob in UBRS , buff their Tank with Fire Resistance , go back to Molten Core = kill Ragnaros.

0 Fire Resistance Equipment needed .

As to how familiar this Abuse is :slightly_smiling_face: :

Back in the days BARELY someone knew this , it was only few who did and knew about this (perhaps 5-10 guilds all over the entire World of Warcraft).

This Abuse was mostly popular and knowledge was widely spread in Pservers.
That how such knowledge was taken here and used to kill world 1st Ragnaros etc.

Not only Pummelers (for Druids to do 2000 DPS thanks to simple Gnomeregan Weapon) , Mind Control from UBRS (fire resistance to clear Molten Core+Onyxia+Blackwing Lair without FR Gear at all) , XP AoE farming as 5+ group (known but hotfixed by blizzard today) , but also much more “legit bugs” that are yet to come and will be shown soon from the Abusers who abuse things legit.

All these Bugs was well known for years in Private Servers and was spread thru the community so fast today in this modern technology like Youtube,Discord,Streams etc etc (barely someone ever talk or knew back in 2005, it was very few guilds only , to disapprove Holyfrog claims) .

More of the “Legit Abuses” :slight_smile: :

Skip mobs when you enter Molten Core, jump right side in the Lava, there is tiny path which allows you to climb up to the other side.

Mind Control Imps in Zul Gurub and throw them to Crocodiles , so you don’t have to waste time killing them for optional Bosses.

I suggest you to Ignore Holyfrog , he is not here to talk about Topic, he is here to Troll Killerduki and spill hate against Protection Paladins .

He is hunting each of my post , just to show how good hater of me he is :slight_smile:

Since you are going there. I dont want to argue. You are not worth my time. Instead I will just refer people to our previous “debate” at barrens.chat and let them decide for themselves how much trust to place in you.

barrens.chat/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1655&start=25

I highly recommend the read, starting from the bottom of page 2.

As someone who is passionate about Protection as a spec, I feel its unfortunate that we have players like you making outlandish statements about the spec and making everyone see the spec as a complete joke, rather than a somewhat less viable build which excels at certain niches when played to its potential.

Thats all really.

You should learn the difference between abuse and clever use of game mechanics before creating any more forum posts. Thank you and good night :slight_smile:

Well this is just a plain and simple lie. If that was the case, every raid would be 40 druids.

The UBRS FR buff wasn’t “barely known”. It was common knowledge amongst anyone who raided. The internet didn’t get created after 2005, and information was easily available.

Nor is the manual crowd pummeler going to do anything like that, it’s just an artifact of how feral gear in vanilla is a total mess, and at best it can allow a feral to be somewhat competitive, at best.

And FR gear was never a requirement, it was just simpler to spend a couple evenings gathering materials for it than months training people to play well enough to not need it.

Ie, this entire thread is utter bollocks.

More than that, it would imply that druids were doing 13-1400 dps at a minimum without it, which is so absurd I lack words.

This is not abuse, this is game mechanic, small trick. But, need to raise dungeons difficulty. Now ppl don’t use crowd controls in dungeons, they simple AoE, usually 2 packs at same time. In original Classic we used crowd controls, trap, sheep, sap etc.

Those are legit tactics.

Just to quote OP in another thread to point out his hypocrisy:

“It’s never been Bug , it’s been always considered by Blizzard as Creative Mechanic , read old archives by Blue Post , you will see their words about it back in 2006 and 2007. Wayback Machine ftw!”

Ie, he only cares about the FR bug because it allows dedicated and skilled players to clear content long before he can, and about the MCP because he thinks it is the reason he’s so easily outdamaged.

If i cared about that, then i would been clearing them , but obviously i don’t care clearing them so fast , it’s 15 years old game to do that. .

But you do care to complain on the forums about a non-issue? Only to follow it up with lies and nonsense?

Nice of you to quote me and ignore the parts of my post pointing out your hypocrisy.

You obviously care, because the only way any of this affects you is if you care that others are clearing the content while you’re not.

It was known back in vanilla to MC mobs and steal their abilities. MC wasn’t just to throw people off lumber mill.

One Naxx boss was even entirely built around it.
