As a reside service sport, numerous bugs and exploits are nonetheless certain to pop in World of Warcraft infrequently even after almost 20 years in operation. One such bug was reported by a Warlock participant earlier this month which inadvertently beefed up his Felguard after finishing a Torghast run. The Felguard had apparently retained the dungeon’s Anima Powers buffs even after the participant had left the encounter, bestowing the demonic pet with 440k hit factors and round 11-12k harm.
Hoping to keep away from being accused of utilizing an exploit and having his account suspended, or worse, banned, the participant did all the things in his energy to take away the buff. He ultimately got here up with a band-aid answer by utilizing the Glyph of Wrathguard to show the overpowered Felguard right into a Wrathguard. Different gamers, nevertheless, aren’t as conscientious.
Following the report, a Chinese language participant posted a video to supply some context on how highly effective the bugged Felguard might have been when min-maxed. The stated participant ended up with a Felguard that tipped the scales at a whopping 2.6 million HP and a median DPS of round 175k, at occasions peaking at 950k. The boss of a Felguard had the flexibility to one-shot mobs in +26 and +29 Mythic+ dungeons, clearing them each in report time.
Whereas the video was meant to easily exhibit the plain energy of a bugged Felguard and to catch Blizzard’s consideration, a couple of gamers have allegedly determined to make use of the bug for their very own achieve. In keeping with PCGamesN, a current +31 and +34 Mists of Tirna Scithe run on WoW’s Chinese language model appear to point that the exploit might have been used within the dungeon. The group that accomplished each runs had two Demonology Warlocks and beat the earlier information by round seven minutes for the +31 run and round eight minutes for the +34.
The run occasions by themselves can’t essentially show that the group used the Felguard exploit however the earlier information being totally stomped simply after the video’s launch is certainly trigger for suspicion.
