[Rogue + Caster] Direct Damage Spell + Sap at the same time

[declera]

I recently found this out by accident with my arena-partner. Not sure if it has been posted before as I can't search, but I'm pretty sure this is new to most of you.

You need a caster with a direct damage spell and a rogue. Here is what to do :

Rogue is stealthed near your target player.

Caster starts casting a direct damage spell. Let's say frostbolt.

When frost bolt hits, the rogue will sap at the exact same time. If done correctly, the target will take damage and get sapped.

Very useful for mage/rogue and similar setups against dualdps teams and druid + dps teams, allowing "free" spellcasts without the opponent being able to fight back. Also a good way to try and make frostbite procc, allowing the mage to open with a shatter.

This can be done with instant spells, but the timing might be harder. We did it by accident with Fire Blast.

NOTE : Do not use spells with a dot, such as Pyroblast. The dot will break sap.

My first attempt to contribute, plox don't flame me :x

Not a bad idea, I like it.

You know that's a wonderful idea. Having a mage PWN up with DD spells and having a rogue stunlock them in-between the casts, LMAO. Genious.

It won't work like that, since sap DR will go off too fast. Also, the target will be in combat due to the damage spell. You can do it once or twice, but after that, combat will last longer than sap due to DR, and the target will be unsappable.

But yeah, a few free spells

He said stunlock them, not chain sap them.

Or.... you can just have the mage DD the player, and then sap at any point after the spell hits. Are you seriously trying to pass a common sense idea off as an exploit?

[Kingpin]

Apoc, i dont think you can sap a combatted target...

But i dont know, thats what i thought as well.

[Vivacity]

good idea

[ryder18]

sounds cool, wonder if its hard to time it just right?

Except you can't sap an opponent in combat. mmm tasty foot.

The second the Frostbolt leaves your friends hands, his target would've been placed in combat, meaning you would've had to have had the sap off before he was in combat, in which case the Frostbolt would've broken the sap. Unless of course you hit a lag spike prior to sapping, in which case this would probably work, unlikely though.

Actually this is quite repeatable...
So stop acting like you know what your talking about...
P.S. I play a rogue I would know.

[Penguiin]

would greatly depend on lag, +rep though

[Rahamah]

not really an exploit, but really good advice. will have to use on my mage :P
