News: Stealth Bug Hotfixed; Strafe Casting
January 24th, 2008 by Magog ·

Regarding the stealth bug mentioned yesterday:

“A hotfix for this issue was applied last night. It may not take effect until individual realms are restarted.” -Hortus

Nice to see the issue being addressed with a hotfix. As for the Cheat Death bug, Hortus goes into a little more detail:

“I’m sorry perhaps I should have explained the situation better…

When two spells land with exact timing activating cheat death the spells can receive 99% reduction instead of 90%. In the past when this happened the spells were not affected by Cheat Death at all.

This only affects the spells triggering cheat death and not subsequent spells and only happens under very specific circumstances which can not be purposely exploited. It does not give rogues “4 seconds of invulnerability” as some people have said.” -Hortus

Now in the “next to be hotfixed” department: casting while moving. Apparently with the use of ‘Shoot Wand’, you can trick the mechanics to allow you to cast any spell while strafing. Here’s a video of this killer bug in action. As with all game breakers, file this under full-disclosure-til-it-gets-fixed.
