Rampant Bug Abuse in Arena (Immune to damage exploit)

At the moment on Ruins of Lordaeron, any class that uses a pet cannot send their pet to attack people when they jump on a particular spot on the map. Many high rated teams are bug abusing this and exploiting it to become fully immune from all pet damage, guaranteeing that they win the match.

This makes it impossible to push higher ratings with these classes. Thanks Blizzard. I had reported this numerous times and made forum posts before but it’s still ignored.

Once again the least represented class in arena (hunter) gets exploited.

Blizzard has routinely shown they have no care to fix terrain exploits in WoW.

Just reroll now because they’re not fixing this.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve taken PvP seriously enough to enter the arena, but… does your pet(s) carry you?

As a beast mastery hunter, pets are 40-50% of my damage. That’s my class. Fix it, as people are exploiting against it. If any other class in the game had 50% of its damage immuned by an exploit it would be front page news.

Do you have a screenshot of it?

Yes. 2 examples: IMGUR ALBUM: pIcBujo. I can’t post links or images on this forum. You can see in the first pic a warlock teleporting up there where the pets immediately cannot chase/stop attacking. He stays up there until he is fully healed. In the second pic they just staand up there the entire arena match and you can see the pets just staring at him doing nothing.

I can’t seem to pull that up.

You can post URLs - just put a few spaces in there.

Bump. Nothing was done.

You realize you have two other specs which don’t necessarily rely on your pet, yes?

That doesn’t excuse the exploit by any means, but there are solutions to your perceived problem(s). You’re just choosing not to utilize them.

Also … try reporting this on the bug report forum.

all 3 specs of hunter uses pet, is like you as a DK saying its ok to no use your gargoyle and pet.

you play what blood in arena? they need to fix terrain and they need to ban the offenders

Read what I wrote.

Survival and marksman do not rely on their pet. Yes, the pet does matter (especially a wolf for the crit or attack power) … but the spec does not RELY on the pet.

Lmao @ all the clowns hiding behind alts telling u to get good

i was feared inside a wall on the bridge arena and couldnt move jump or see anything.

I’ve also accepted a queue, fell into the centre of the arena before the gates opened, couldn’t buff my team, and was able to totem outside the enemy door and have pics

basically NuBlizz dont seem to care at all. or are majorly inept (probably bit of both)

are you trolling ? Or are you seriously telling someone that an obvious bug should be solved by shifting specs ?

Are you capable of reading?

I’m offering a solution while also acknowledging it’s not excusable to exploit a bug.

I also provided another solution in putting this in the bug report forum as this is general discussion and very few people who actually matter frequent these forums.

Please learn to read passed the first sentence before you respond.

its not a solution. Its at best nearing a work around band-aid.

Please learn what a solution is, before giving out stupid advice.
There is only one solution, and that is fixing the bug.

(i agree on your part on the bug report forum tho, this is actually part of the solution, and the bug should definitly been posted there)

so·lu·tion

/səˈlo͞oSHən/

noun

a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

You’re welcome.

Also, a marksman and survival hunter are the two specs of any class you don’t want to be caught standing in one spot and not moving.

My answer was most assuredly a solution.

The OP is refusing to switch specs when the key issue is lack of pet usage for damage. My point is the other two specs are much more viable to deal with the situation until such a time as it gets addressed.

You’re attempting to argue semantics and failing.

This said, you’re entitled to your opinion. :man_shrugging:t2:

You obviously do not solve the problem with your “solution”, since the problem is still existing.
And claiming bug abuse is a difficult situation is shifting goalposts.

difficult

/ˈdɪfɪklt/

adjective

  1. needing much effort or skill to accomplish, deal with, or understand.

There is no difficulty involved in this situation, because it is impossible to change the outcome of being unreachable by a pet, without shifting the goalpost to a situation where a pet is no longer part of the argument.

You´re welcome.

LOL … okay man.

Strawman argument at its best,

As I mentioned, you’re entitled to your opinion.

I’m wasting my time trying to debate with someone who clearly has no common sense in what I’m trying to convey in my point.

I actually see what you´re trying to convey in your point. I even agreed on your point of bringing it to the bug report forum.
I just think its rude, unnecessary and outright wrong to even open the can of worms that is telling someone hes responsible for other peoples bug abuse by not changing their spec.
