- Edit: on 20something january I got a 24h ban and the loot was removed because this is considered an exploit
edit2:just to clarify: the abilities got patched after this video, i know that most of the doubters dont bother reading at all but this edit gives me peace in my mind that i at least have done my best to enlighten them:)
clever use of game machanics: spellsteal bone armor is completely legit (since you do it for example to tank razevious).
Incanter's Absorbption is perfectly designed for this technique. Insane critz inc:)
Too bad Death Knight Cavalier reset when you try to leave the military quarter:(
There are plenty of Cavaliers in this wing but make sure that they do not run out of mana, because then they will not cast bone armor any more.
soundtracks:
Vanessa Mae - Storm

We tried to find out if someone else has done a similar thing before. We only found our 2 man loatheb kill :)
• Loatheb 2man_06-Dez-20...
Ah 2004-2010 the glory days of WoW. I love coming back to these old videos now and again just to get that delicious nostalgia.
we going back to wotlk in 2023 ♥
The glory of wow days for me is 2008 - 2014
I start in wotlk btw
One of the greatest ever exploits and a major influence on me.
+Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks Thank you :)
Yeah, the good old times, was a lot of fun to plan and execute this.
"Edit: on 20something january I got a 24h ban and the loot was removed because this is considered an exploit"
Blizzard being lame as usual.
exploit?? that was just a clever use of the game mechanics
using the game mechanic which give you illegal advantage is the exploit
Евгений Иванцов Ya using a spell called spell STEAL and stealing a buff from an NPC what an exploit just like them bombs on lich king.
furydeath I dunno what is the difference between exploit and bug, but anyway everything which can give you advantage like this is illegal. This is the same as Martn's Fury incident, you can tell million times that you have done nothing whrong, still it's obvious that this is illegal.
Next patch after this video mage passive give you SPD only of absorbing your own skills
ya i remreber when Martn's Fury was ment to be in game for players .....
If it doesn't get patched then every raid will go with a mage to insta-clear the military wing, trivializing a huge part of a huge dungeon. Taking away the loot and banning him was a little extreme, but patching was important.
After 14 years, still one of the best solo raid video. And the music…🤤
It was a 24h ban and my loot was removed. But the ban didn´t matter to me, at this time i used 5 accounts, so it was not a big deal :)
I also think this is not an exploid, but blizzard has always right.... the player just need to pay and shut up.
You had to be pretty damn naive to think it is intentional to be able to solo raid content - at the current tier. Sure, you can call it an oversight from blizzards point, but it is definately also exploiting abilities.
It is not. None of the abilities worked incorrectly in any way.
do it again when WOTLKC hits in 2023 :)
I remember when i first saw this back then on mmo-champion ! so lame by blizzard for removing the loot,that helm from Gothik was BiS for mages in first patch on wotlk.
',: / Wow l call that cheap this was done by studying your class, and the enemies you will face, and using their strengths and weaknesses to your advantage. You can't do anything creative in this game without it getting "Patched"
I laughed throughout the whole video. This is quite awesome, and I don't think I've seen game mechanics used more incredibly.
Nice job!
So am I to assume that you stacked intellect, spirit, and hit?
The cavaliers have a bone shield buff that absorbs a TON of damage, like a million or so.
Mage talent increases spell damage by how much damage you absorb. Since Razuvious hits for 50k damage to cloth, she was getting a +50K spell damage buff.
Clever use of game techniques, legend!
@atlele Yes it was an unintended effect of stealing bone armor.
He has Incanter's Absorption. This talent increases your Spell Power by 15% percent with each damage took.
With Bone Armor up, he absorbed all the damage and it caused that talent to stack.
Since he takes no actual damage to his hp, it means he building up that talent until hes doing MASSIVE damage.
Its like the old Paly glicth that allowed Kazzak to be one shotted.
Remember guys, if you find an exploit like this never post it on youtube.
Clever use of game mechanics, hehe. Last time i heard that was on swifty's vids, Which were also awesome. Good job on the video :)
Incanter's Absorbation its a talent mages get in arcane it does that the damage arbsorbed by a shield gets turned in to spell power.
for all the noobs that think this is a private server, maybe you should actually read. He explains how it is possible to do, or at least how it used to be able to be done. Dont make false claims until you know all the facts
And yeah, this guy is really smart for putting the facts together to realize it had the potential to solo the whole wing.
Really incredible that you kept this up while doing all the bosses/trash and for so long too. Bravo
* Lemme rephrase. Go to 1:16, it shows you which two talents make this possible. Quoted from the tooltip: Incanter's Absorbtion - When you absorb damage your spell damage is increased by 15% of the amount absorbed for 10 seconds. That's why her crits are so ridiculous. All the damage she absorbs from bone armor translates into huge amounts of sp.
It awesome that someone sat down & worked this out. Whats even funnier is that Blizzard hotfixed this within 4hrs of the video being posted. Many ppl reported that the buff had suddenly stopped working whilst attempting to copy this very video.
From the same 2 peeps that 2manned Loatheb.
Das beste ausnutzen der spielmechanik die es jemald in der geschichte von wow gab! Hut ab!!!
This was absolutely fabulous to watch. I think it's a shame that Blizzard punished you for their mistake and I also think it's a shame that people are accusing you of lying and running a public server when it is all very clear how you did this. Congrats for such an epical video. :)
the way the spec was set up makes spell power go up for every time they miss or what ever so thats how the crits were huge
I myself play an arcane mage and I must say, u really play the class very well. Sad that u were punished for ur cleverness but 5 stars for the ingenuity!
That's pretty awesome! Good video! I don't see how you managed to do the Gothik fight, though - don't they spawn in two sections?
"This talent now only grants additional spell power when damage is absorbed by "Mana Shield", "Frost Ward", "Fire Ward", or "Ice Barrier." The limit of 5% of the mage's health on the spell power buff has been removed." - PTR 3.3.3 patch notes.
much sad
you're a legend!! sorry to read that blizzard was so rude about it.
The arcane explosions come from the ghost-like adds
She had the bone shield the trash put on her making her absorb attacks. In her talents she has something that makes it so when she absorbs an attack, she gains 15% of that damage as spellpower for 10 seconds. When you're taking a beating from a boss and some trash, the spell power adds up.
back before the patches, you could absorb the cavilers bone sheild, which absorbs insane ammounts of damage, then incanters absorbtion ( an arcane talent) increases damage by 15% or so of the ammount absorbed.
pretty hilarious. Guess the incanters tallent didn't have a cut off like it does now. did you make like spell steal focus macros for all of those bone shield mobs? tabbing through those would be so crazy
@Noobsgoneaway there was a talent that was glitched in the start of wotlk for arcane mages that would stack SP and increase arcane spell damage. this is on live server.
you should have been handed a medal for this, not a ban. bloody brilliant
ok for all who doesnt know whats going on in this vid
1.the mage does dmg the death cavallery
2.because of the dmg the cavallery cast a spell named bonearmor (absorp fire, ice, nature, shadow, arcane and physic dmg with a value of 1200000) it fades out after 10 sec.
3.now the mage got an "armorspell" which makes him imba (just for 10sec.) but...if he get hit by an enemy this spell activates an effect
that was insane , genious and .. insane!!! lol loved it , wondering what puts that sorta idea in your head " hey il go solo nax hc "
A mage talent in the Arcane tree, Incanters Absorbtion. It increases spellpower equivalent to a percentage of damage absorbed through a magical shield.
@pyr666 Yeah Bone Shield is no longer stealable, in addition Incanters Absorbption was changed to only go to a max of 5% of the Mage's health. Which was recently changed back, but only works when Mana Shield, Frost Ward, Fire Ward or Ice Barrier absorbs damage and translates 5% of that into spell power for 10 seconds with no limit.
Wish I had thought to do this ha ha, very cool. Spellsteal is incredible, I'm sure we'll all get an opportunity to use it "creatively" again at some point in the future, just hoping I'm savvy to it before it gets patched out.
that mug used spell steal(arcane move) on the horses for thier bones and the bones took damage off 1mil so that's why that mug could solo it
i was going to call fake on this, but reading the description I didnt get that you could spell steal Bone armor, nice stuff!
Come back in about 5 years when you're old enough to read, then watch the video again.
OMG! That is soooo amazing!!! Lets hope blizzard dont patch thi :D Or is it alrdy done that? Btw give me a estimate how much gold did u gain?
bone shield was spellsteal able and mages have(or had) and talent which translates taken dmg into spellpower so all he had to do was to keep the shield up and then he end up with a lot of spellpower.
Love the electric guitar cover of Vivaldi's four seasons in the background. Winter? Idk.
But the soloing here was great :)
He spellsteals Bone Armor from the death knights, which absorbs 1.2 million damage. And he has a talent that increases his sp by 15% of everything he absorbs.
cylomtic, First he absorbs the Cavaliers Bone Shield which absorbs A LOT of damage, also in the arcane tree there's an ability called Incanter's Absorption which adds spellpower equal to 15% (i think) of all damage absorbed. Since he's getting hit by a shitload of mobs and taking a shitload of damage he's getting a shitload of spellpower. Hope that helps :)
This mage deserves a fucking Wikipedia page as "Best, Mage, Ever"
Natural human reaction - if you dont know it, deny it.
From this video it is obvious that the text from the healt bar and the mana bar is in the format:
Health #####/#####
Mana #####/#####
Her mana is 17675. So the mana text is legit, but takes all the mana bar. Since health text is longer than mana text it is normal that it goes out of the frame.
This effect is cause due to lower resolution (see the rest of the UI) prabably to increase fps during footage capturing.
@PowerChaos125
Mage Armor:
Increases your resistance to all magic by 44 and causes you to regenerate 3% of your maximum mana every 5 sec. In addition, the duration of all harmful Magic effects used against you is reduced by 35%. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.
OK definitely not a private server
The people who figure out these exploits should definitely work for bliz since they dont really put things together as much as players do
And for those whining that this guy ruined it for all mages planning to solo the Dk wing. Its obvious that not everyone thinks of doing this, this guy was smart enough to look at bone armor and his talent and wonder if it would work. If he hadnt posted this though, you probably wouldnt even know about it so stop complaining
Der Trick dabei ist die clevere Ausnutzung der Talente „Brennende Entschlossenheit und „Absorption des Beschwörers. Außerdem hatte der Magier ein Quartett von gegnerischen Todesreitern dabei, denen er mit „Zauberraub die „Knochenrüstung geklaut hat die hält über eine Minute 1,2 Millionen Schadenspunkte vom Zauberer ab.
What happens is she used Ice Block to wipe his debuff that lowers your stats so she could get more int/spirit as she was using insane amounts of mana for a single spell... But it also meant that the stamina reduction got removed so she suddenly got a bunch of HP.
Very nice flic.
That's one epic gnome.
Loved the music, thanks for listing it in the infos.
What is the potion you use when your invisibility runs out at about 0:58?
the insane crits he is doing come from a talent called Incanter's Absorption. this talent allows you to transfer 30% of the damage you absorp with any kind if shield to spellpower... it has been nerfed so the insane crits are no longer possible ;)
This is not a private server, or hax, or anything like that. The skills legitimately used to work like this. I for one applaud his ingenuity.
Es war nicht um einen privaten Server. Es war ein Fehler, wenn der Magier könnte spellsteal Knochen Rüstung aus der Cavaliers, damit ihnen unendlich spellpower und Schadensabsorption.
@sanderlols this was form back when incanters abosorbtion gave you spell power on how much damage it absorbed, so with bone shield up taking no damage and gettin hit for rediculous amounts and getting absorbed=imba spellpower hence the high numbers
This isnt a private server at all. This was a Arcane mage talaent called Incanter's Absorption, when WotLK came out, this spell had no SP cap, so all you had to do was run into the Death Knight area, Ice Block and Spell Steal their bone sheilds. If you had about 2 or more of them follow you, you could keep up the buff, increase your SP by an INSANE amount, and solo the 4 wings of Naxx( as long as the DKs could follow you)
what spells is he using and why he is using them?
and can smbdy pls link his his tallents
i just can't figure out why spending tallents that way
wow awesome music you pic for this video =O who plays it??
And for everyone this is not public server, was on Realm, the pug got fixed really quick
when you are spamming those continous arcane explosions, why does your mana not seem to go dowm at all?
Riddle me this
For the 1st boss in the military wing, when an understudy is taken over -> BONE ARMOR is used prior to engaging the boss -> that understudy still takes damage with BONE ARMOR ON. While all the other things in this video may be true, the mage didn't lose 1 HP.
Since I'm a healer who healed understudies who had bone armor on, how could this be true.
das geht rein vom mana gar nicht, wenn der absorbiert muss der gleich null mana haben wiel ja mana und nicht hp abgezogen wird oder?
To all following people:
This is done on a Retail server, just after this vid was posted i checked the armory, the achievements, gear and names/server matched the date perfectly
This was possible before a hot fix, the hot fix changed the following:
Talent cant give more spellpower equal to 5% of casters health.
Bone shield can no longer be spell stolen
and now, i think i deserve:
Rogue owned a mage in his own class /flex
Durch den Zauberraub der Todesritter auf den Gäulen, denn die haben das Knochenschild sich gebufft (welches er sich dann halt klaut) und so absorbiert er 1 Minute lang Schaden ;-)
Geil gemacht - Respekt!!
he was part of a raid group, just the others were outside, then they left and he was leader so he didnt get kicked out
dwimmerlike :
Prvt server...or i can count on
lordjar's phrases,,,,and btw why did u spammed him/her and removed his/her comments??
I wanted to find the second song on this vid but a search of youtube brings up nothing. Can anyone help me out?
this is not a private server. we used this to have our mage tank razuvious before they fixed it. its a very clever use of the arcane tree. unfortunately, it made it so the DKs bone armor can no longer be spellsteal'd :(
there will only be mobs in the "dead" section as long as the mobs in the "living" section dies.
Just wondering, how high could ur SP go b4 they nerfed the talent?
The Arcane Talent Incanters Absorption added 15% of damage absorb to spell power.
So if you're getting hit for 10k, theres 1500 spell power. And because the bone armour absorbed like 1M damage or something, you could get massive ammounts of spell power. Too bad Blizz fixed it, I had fun doing.
It's not a private server at all. The talents he lists in the video are what causes the damage. Incanter's Absorption now has a cap so that total spell damage increase cannot exceed 5% of your health, but previously it didn't. Bone Armor absorbs the damage and away you go.
what mark were you talking about in the vid?
This is actually completely real. The health looks a bit high (can't see the actual amount), but if you see the 414531 dmg pyroblast at 2:29 and go to the armory page and check out the Largest Hit Dealt, it is exactly that amount.
the down side to this is you can never stop to gain mana cause your constantly under attack
wow, iv favorite that video some months ago, and I cant believe Im still seeing some noobs around with comments like private server, fake etc. This is incredible! ^^
No. He is arcane. Somewhere in the arcane tree, there is this spell which increases your spellpower for an amount of the damage you absorb. And with the bonearmor you absorb all attacks which means, your spellpower will inscrease with tons.
Pure Awsomeness! thnx for sharing this amazing video with us m8 =)
He has Incaster's absorption, which gives SP if u absorb damage , and now he absorb arround a few 100k of damage.... ^^
Arcane spec gives spellpower based on how much you absorb (through any kind of shield), so it was indeed possible to do this.
You can't do it anymore. And the reason why you could only do the Military Quarter then is because the mobs he was Spellstealing the damage shield buff from (Death Knight Cavaliers) will deaggro if you leave the quarter.
So
1) He uses a spell called "Spellsteal" on the horsemen before Razuvius. This spell steals a buff from an enemy target. In this case he got bone armor, a buff that lets you absorb ALL damage for some time. As of 3.0.8, this spell is no longer spellstealed.
2) He has the "Spellcaster Absorbion" Talent in the Arcane Tree, which converts absorbed damage into Spell Power, thus the uber 100k+ crits he got. THIS TALENT CHANGED IN 3.0.8, the spell power inrease is limited to 5% of the mage's health.
O.O at 8:15 you do a 160k crit how do you do that is that the bonus of the shield?
He spell-steals boneshield.. and he has the talent that makes you gain spell damage upon absorbing damage.
How can you do that insane dmg? because of the thing u spell steal or?
Vanessa Mae - Storm
Optokoppler - Conqueror
Vanessa Mae - Devil Trill
i dont get it .. You spellstold the dmg and the absording buff?
@kandykirby Read my reply below. It is not fake. It was an unintended effect of Incanter's Absorption (talent that adds 15% sp per hit to shields) + Spell Stealing Bone Armor from the horses (Absorbs hits for 1.2 million hp)+Burning Determination (When silenced you are immune to next silence).
So he gets the bone armor and keeps shields up. Each time a shield is hit you get 15% of the absorbed hit in sp. The bone armor keeps you alive.
Not faked and has been patched so it no longer works.
gettin all that loot and gold must have kicked ass, did blizz take it away? saying he improperly used game mechs or something
im just confused, how do you always have the absorption up??
If you're implying its faked or a private server, it isn't. This has been verified and blizzard hotfixed the exploit as soon as they found out about it. Mages were able to spellsteal a mob's shield that protects against over 1M damage, and they have a talent that increases spellpower by 15% damage absorbed.
Banned and loot removed? Fuck that. This isn't an exploit, it's brilliant use of Blizz's own poorly designed game mechanics. They should have given you a medal.
Kudos to you! Nothing is more fun than breaking a game.
wow the technique has been nerfed but I love the techno vivaldi remix which I've never heard of
Its Bone Armor, and that doesnt increase his dmg. Only with the talent: Incanter's absorbption, he does lots of dmg. Because it increases his dmg by 15% of absorbed dmg. And Bone Armor absorbs everything.
This is not private server. Mages used to be able to spell steal the horsemen's boneshields, which made it so you would take no damage. This guy speced into incanters absorbtion in the arcane tree, which temporarily increases your spell power based on damage completely absorbed. After this vid blizz made it so you cant spell steal the bone armor anymore so people couldnt do this again.
It'd only be this wing anyways, if it wasn't patched.
Kudos to the Mage though for being so creative.
Unbelievable! After so many months ppl still cant figure out why and how this was legit!
So much big % of ppl in our time cant see a little bit further!
Sad they stole your gear, I fail to see how using their talent tree is an exploit. Clever.
Clearly it had to be nerfed away, but you deserved it for finding it.
