Leave Battleground without Deserter Buff Exploit – World of Warcraft



Sadly, this only works with Holy Priests.

  • You need to have Spirit of Redemption skilled
  • Die on one Battleground
  • Die and become become an angel/spirit guardian (Spirit of Redemption proc)
  • Enter /afk and leave the Battleground, while you’re angel/spirit-healer

Notice: When you get out, you will be dead. However, it better to run 2 minutes to your corpse than waiting 15 min before joining. If you have a friend, he could invite you in the group and always sign in for you, so you don’t even have to walk back and revive and lose precious time!

Arathi Basin Beginner Strategy and Tactic Tips – World of Warcraft



There are 6 simple rules to follow to become a better Arathi player! Increase your fun while playing this battleground (and more important: Increase the fun for others) and owning your enemies

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling Guide

  • Rule #1. Everyone on offense is a bad idea, Defend, Defend, Defend, and Defend. If you don’t defend the points you capture, you will lose. Make sure SOMEONE stays behind to Defend the flag, or at least to scout/notify everyone that there is Incoming at that point
  • Rule #2. Don't fight the Zerg. If you see 10 enemies in front of you, chances are there are fewer of them somewhere else. Go around the Zerg and capture points with weaker defense.
  • Rule #2b. Don't become the Zerg. If you look at your map and you are one of 10 or so dots at one point, leave. If too many people are at one place, that means other places aren't being defended or assaulted
  • Rule #3. Do the role you were meant to do. Healers, find a DPS class, communicate and coordinate with that DPS class, follow him around, buff him and heal him. A great deal of losing battles are due to the Healer classes not doing their job. DPS classes, your JOB is to protect the healer. When you find a healer, assure him you are going to watch out for him and keep enemys off of him as much as possible Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling Guide
  • Rule #4. Get your target priority straight. Target Healers first, this means attack and kill healer type classes first, and then DPS classes.
    If you attack a warrior with a priest behind him, you have already lost. Even though a healer type may not die as quick as a DPS type, at least that healer will be forced to heal himself rather than someone else.
  • Rule #4b. Do your best to crowd control DPS classes via Sheep, Poly, Sap, Fear, Seduce, Root, etc, to make killing the healer easier
  • Rule #5. TAP! Tap tap tap tap. Tapping the flag is what captures points! Even in battle, you can click the flag and sometimes no one will notice you. If you don't tap a captured point, and continue fighting the enemy, they will shortly respawn and you will have to fight them again, capturing this point ensures they will not respawn there
  • Rule #5b. Interrupt the enemy tapping. This means if you see someone trying to battle tap, stop whatever you are doing and hit that person to interrupt their clicking of the flag. If you have to, bring the fight to the flag, this will ensure you better view of the flag to make sure no one taps it.
  • Rule #5c. Don't fall for the bait tap. Often the enemy will draw you away from the flag only to have their friend tap it behind you
  • Rule #6. Use the map! The map is your friend (M is the default map key). Watching the map will help you see which points need reinforcement and which points need defending. A useful tip is you can right click the red icon on your minimap to bring up a moveable minimap, so that you can quickly see the contest state of every point.

Become unattackable in PvP – World of Warcraft



Then keep spamming the macro below while walking forward and you will freeze up but still continue to function to everyone else. Everyone else will see you moving forward but be unable to attack you. Once you stop spamming the macro you will warp back to where you were.

Train Weapon Skill while AFK with no risk of dying – World of Warcraft



If you want to skill weapons skills for Master of Arms or Did Somebody Order a Knuckle Sandwich? Achievement, there is a very secure and easy way to do this while AFK, as gaining the last few skill points can take some time! My record was 30 minutes for 399 to 400!

The trick is very easy. Use a Dalaran portal to Shattrath and go to Shadow Labyrinth. If you’re level is high enough (lv 78 or higher, when the mobs turn in grey), simply go to the first boss Ambassador Hellmaw. He is banished (DON’T KILL THE MOBS IN THIS ROOM, or the will be set free!!!).

Go behind him and turn auto-attack on and go AFK. Because he’s banished he won’t ever die and when the trash mobs are gray to you, they won’t attack you either. Make sure to check out every 30 minutes or so to make sure you hit the cap of 400 and change the weapons for the next skilling.

Update 1: Seems it works with Gordok Spirit in Dire Maul too.

Win Wintergrasp in 5 minutes Exploit Tactic – World of Warcraft



There is a 100% easy way to win Wintergrasp in very short time. All you need to do is, gather a raid 10-20 min before Wintergrasp starts.

If you’re defender

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling Guide Move your defense as close as possible to the spawning place of the enemy faction and/or to the western/eastern Workshops. Once the Wintergrasp Battleground starts, catch as many horde as possible on their way to the keep. Hold the workshop as long as possible to prevent them from having many siege weapons.

But nothing really spectacular! The real exploits comes in, when you’re attacking the keep!

If you’re attacker

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling GuideHave a warlock and 2 people fly to one of the towers. They need to be quickly to get inside the keep to one of the towers, before they get dismounted or detected. On the tower let the warlock place a summoning stone.

Now port your whole raid to the tower and hide. Make sure they are staying somewhere on the outer lines where the gun spawns, so they don’t get ported out of the keep when the siege begins.

When the siege begins, you won’t be ported out of the Keep. Now simply wait until your enemy enters the outer yard, charge out of the tower and roll over the allies. You will get the necessary kills pretty fast for First Lieutenant. Who ever dies in the keep simply gets a Wintergrasp Demolisher or Siege Engine. And wait in front of it. Once your faction got 16 vehicles, zerg down the walls and go for the artifact room. Zerg it too and go in and win.

I guarantee you, your enemy will be surprised as hell and you will have easy game rolling over them. The main advantage of this exploit tactic is, that you can destroy the guns from within and don’t have LoS problems or allies who shot from above the small gun terraces (and if you’re melee you can get up there anyways) and of course very quickly gain your rank for the siege engines!

Have fun owning Alliance/Horde with this dirty tactic!

Chopper/Mammoth speed/no-dismount Exploit – World of Warcraft



For all who didn’t know: The Mekgineer's Chopper/Mechano-hog/Reins of the Black War Mammoth/Reins of the Grand Black War Mammoth are technically no mounts. They are counted as vehicles.

This gives them some special abilities, which regular mounts doesn’t have.

  • Don’t get dismounted when you enter a no-ride zone
  • Hunter’s Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah stacks with the mount (this means you get 130% mount speed instead of 100%)
  • No fall damage. Yes you read correctly! With this mounts you don’t need to use “no fall-damage” hacks and tools! Do it completely legally
  • This special vehicular mounts are also immune to some CC effects (i.e. immune to the nets of the Goblin Town Guards (Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Everlook, Ratchet)

This can give some great advantages in PvP. Some examples:

  • Arathi: Quickly get the tap the flags at beginning of the BG (Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah = faster than any other mount increasing aspect)
  • Arathi: Jump down from Lumber mill without fall damage or slow fall
  • Alterac Valley: Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah + Vehicular mount and you’re the first one to cap Snowfall graveyard! (Necessary for the Achievement)
  • The Eye of Storms: Jump down from the starting position. By not having to jump on the small stone to prevent to get 60% of your HP as fall-damage, you can ride straight forward and head directly to Blood Elf Tower. Saves a few seconds which can be important for a 0/2000 win
  • Warsong Gulch: Get faster to the flag (with Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah and riding in the no-ride zone inside the Bases)

If you know more applications where you can exploit this, post it in the comments and share it with everyone!
