Buff still available on release candidate 5.04 (16010)

Blizzards prepatch for Mists of Pandaria will be here in a few days. When blizzard added raid buffs to test dummies they left a little gift for twinks as well.

I used this gift to solo the first boss of sfk on a level 21* mage.

Most of the raid buffs are temporary. However, the"well fed" buff is reused from existing food buffs already in the game. The temporary buffs are immediately removed when you change zones, but the "well fed" buff remains.

This "well fed" buff currently gives +90 stamina, and +90 to your main stat. In short, it's overpowered. This buff does not persist through death, which adds a serious issue to the already wildly changing battlegrounds in this upcoming patch.

Teams that enter battlegrounds with this buff will have a huge advantage, but even if both sides have the buff there will be serious consequences. If one team gets wiped near the beginning of a match, they will play the remainder with a large disadvantage.

This imbalance will likely increase the number of people that will /afk out of losing matches wherever this "well fed" buff is prevalent.

Blizzard is still rushing to complete this patch by the time Guild Wars 2 releases on the 28th of August. This "problem" will probably not be fixed before the patch goes live.

Pick the buff up yourself in Shattrath, and get your hearth stone set there before the patch!


Pandas will be the ultimate twink race, with +180 stamina, +180 primary stat, if this goes live


Theoretically this new raid test dummy is "only for beta", but it is still live on the "Release Candidate" build on the PTR

There is no such thing as a trial account on the ptr, so we can level there.

Yes. Pandas will be the ultimate twink race, until this gets fixed. There is no reason why a player would lose a "well fed" buff when entering battlegrounds. The buff will be there too.
 
i remember reading a blue post from ghost clawler (cant find it atm) but he said that the raid buffs only work within a short distance/or your stop attacking the raid dummy.

Im sure this is just a ptr bug.

oh right, misread. so where is this well fed buff from? the raid buffs?

It's from the raid target dummies, which gives aoe buffs every 10 seconds.
 
Sooooo..... instead of keeping quiet about this, and ultimately being fair by not using it yourself, you sought to tell EVERYONE about it, so the imbalance would be imminent?

Or so that it becomes a significant issue so that bliz actually does something about it?

An issue, that could have been discreetly reported. It didn't need its own thread on a forum, where getting the most advantages possible is more important than keeping what little semblance of balance we have hanging on its very thin thread.

People who don't know about it can't report it.

They Sure as hell know it now. And people will most likely not report it. Worst case scenario is it would not have been reported until a few months later, BUT a best case scenario is that it wouldn't ever have been found by anyone but the people who were leveling in Outland and any high levels that resided there.

Hardy har har. /facepalm its cool. Most likely it will just lead to longer wait times because no one wants to fight through 900 extra HP. Im just pointing out the flaw in whatever you were hoping would come out of this.
