Mangle (cat) Bug

[hoboonaparkbench]

Not really sure this has any way of being exploited or anything, but..

If you're in cat form and have Mangle (cat) ability.. and you target a mob in melee range and hit him w/ mangle (cat).. and just before the mangle goes off target a mob an infinite distance away (just need to see it) it'll hit the melee-range mob with the damage, and the ranged mob with the mangle debuff pulling the mob.


Almost wiped a few times in groups finding out what triggered this bug.


One thing this could be used to do is pull a mob from any distance (hit a critter in melee and pull a distant mob for example).



Also... if you make a macro to target a boss that's say, behind a wall (like Underbog instance entrance for example) I'm thinking you could pull the boss and enter the room for the encounter. (make the macro '/cast Mangle (cat)' and then '/target The Black Stalker' or w/e)

It's a bug not an exploit, read newest druid patch note's, it's being fixed.

not working...

Ah, it's really getting fixed in 2.2? Guess I missed that. Oh well, 2.2 shouldn't be out for a while anyways.


Also, to the last poster, if you do not target the distant target as soon as you hit mangle on the melee-range target.. it wont work. Try it a few times.


EDIT: I read the patch notes, and it simply says that they're making it so that mangle doesn't apply the debuff on nearby targets when your target dies. Which means there may still be a possibility of using this bug post patch 2.2... Since what you're doing is targetting a second target during the debuff delay.
