Equip healing weapons/trinkets (e.g., Cleric’s Favor, Shard of Purity), activate the Diamond Flask, then instantly swap to DPS/tanking gear. Leverage the “stat snapshot” mechanism to lock in inflated healing bonuses.
Results: Restores 1,000–2,500 HP every 5 seconds for 60 seconds (24,000+ total healing). Compared to a Warrior’s standard 6,500 HP pool, this effectively grants a “mobile healing station.”
Use Flask of Petrification to enter the Petrified state (immune to all damage/CC). Right-click to cancel Petrification, instantly clearing all debuffs (e.g., Polymorph, Blind, Curse). Exploit the immunity window to receive heals, then repeat the cycle for an “infinite healing loop.”
Using the Flask of Petrification can instantly exit combat status. Combined with /CAMP, it allows you to return to the character selection interface
There are so few owners of the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, yet you changed the snapshot mechanism of this weapon. The Diamond Flask is owned by most warriors, and its snapshot effect ruins the PVP environment so severely, yet you actually haven’t changed it? Could you please explain the logic and principles behind your bug fixes?
Yes, because the abuse of the mechanism has made PVP completely unplayable. Of course, low-end PVP players with poor technical skills definitely can’t feel it. Using the Flask of Petrification can also instantly get out of combat, while rogues can stealth and warriors can use charge.
Not once since 2004 – from Blizzard servers, to Nostalrius et al, and back to Classic – have I ever seen somebody casually pop a Flask of Petrification to win (or just not lose) a random fight in World PVP or in any BG.
Anyone who pops a petri to win a duel/1v1 has lost the duel no matter the outcome.
I think the best course of action at this point is to start recording all your interactions so you can catch this fabled petri popper on video and then you and the rest of the server can laugh at him and bully him until he doesn’t want to log on anymore.
The OP is definitely playing on the china servers. The wealth gap over there enables some players to pop petri flasks like candy, many times during a single fight. This doesn’t happen on US servers. OP is trying to get changes that would flow through to their china server.
Let’s imagine that’s true. So what? This is what everyone signed up for. This is not new content. Classic is 20+ years old and we have now had several iterations of it. Everyone knows the drill. It’s like someone stepping on the same rake for twenty years and then saying, “hey, there’s a rake here!” and then stepping on it again.
You think you are a senior player, but actually you are not. In the early versions, warriors didn’t have so much healing gear or so many Flask of Petrification . Of course, it can’t be compared with the present.
