EU+US Beast Mastery Damage Exploit

[Chap]

I would have liked to keep this one to myself for a while, but I am too nice to not share it.

The summoned entities from Stack of Wooden Boards, Stack of Bamboo and Stack of Stone Blocks are now considered beasts, which if stacked can make for some insane damage when using the talent Way of the Cobra.

You can have 15 up at all times if you place them whenever they're off cooldown, and they will also attack enemies if you summon them while in combat. It's an expensive habit to pick up, but it is a lot of fun, especially now that BGs are more casual.

This exploit will work for any bracket, but I figured I'd post it here because I discovered it on my 19 hunter. Due to the ramifications this could have for endgame PvE content, I expect this to get nerfed before Legion, so enjoy it while you can.

Nice 120% damage buff i'll take that.

 

[Nodoka]

Would assume this gets fixed relatively soon

It's quite noticeable at lower levels, where the majority of our damage comes from Cobra Shot. The stacks themselves also do decent damage when summoned in combat, but they're really wonky, which is half the fun. Seeing levelers run away from them is always enjoyable.

Fastest way to get the rep?

I got the rep because the boards used to attack people, but that got fixed patches ago. Is it happening again?

Pretty sure it was never fixed, and that they were just super buggy and often failed to attack properly. They are attacking people now if you summon them during combat; they even behave similarly to beasts and change target based on threat.

tyyyy

 

[ascoot]

so people are actually spending 100s of gold every bg to summon these things?

 

[Srs]

Not really any different than speedpotting.

 

[DeLindsay]

ROFL, that's hilarious.

If you have the gold i dont see why not

I don't think they are counted as beasts. I believe the talent says "for every pet or guardian" maybe they are counted as your guardians.

@Chap strikes again!

This is the main reason I said beasts. They have the same classification as my primary pet and the guardians summoned by Dire Beast.

I can add 2 more pets which are easy as fuck to get.

I might as well also add that Beast Mastery hunters can get their hands on a Chimaera from Azhara, which seems to be the only pet in the 10-19 bracket with a special ability. Froststorm Breath can be spammed and is useful for blocking doorways and just looking badass overall.
