Bypass cooldown on Stasis
Posted: December 8th, 2006, 2:43 pm
For starters I should say that I already reported this and had it confirmed as an exploit of sorts by a Dev (I know, I know - I'm too nice). I presume they're working on fixing it.
First off, there is a random element to this but the odds decrease depending on how many items/buffs you have that give +procs...
Also I have only tested this on my Medic - I presume it would work on other professions as well.
Basically it works like this - if you target someone and use a special ability (including buffing people) there is a chance a +proc or "Glancing Blow" will fire. If this happens you hear a "click" sound when you do the special, as if you have an invalid target. However, what you intended to do actually happens - so in the case of Stasis what actually happens is your target DOES get Stasised, but your toolbar clicks and you can reuse the skill again straight away on someone else.
I don't know whether this works on pure offensive specials or not, but it definitely does work on Stasis - and I also hear the click sound and no cooldown on buff abilities.
I have used this successfully on my Medic to Stasis 4 people in a row without having to suffer the long cooldown. If you stack +proc mods like Cyber Shock, Overwhelming Shock, Static Strike, Toxic Strike etc then you will vastly increase the chances of this working.
