Tonic Exploit
I ran into a thief doing this yesterday as well (also p/d). Personally I had never seen this before and I tried to catch what exactly the in-combat benefit of doing so was. I later invited him to my party and he said that apparently dodging while in a tonic hides the red circle of caltrops (effectively making them invisible, depending on the terrain).
I DID notice the free weapon swap effects (his on-swap sigils would activate when he used the tonic) and if it breaks stuns as well…then something should really be done. I’ve never had as much trouble with a thief as I did yesterday, but then again I’ve never fought a thief using tonics mid-fight. I fought him 3 or 4 times and every time he made use of the tonic multiple times throughout the fight.
I can provide screenshots if necessary.
wow. I didn’t think you could use tonics in pvp. Whenever I went in (on any character) if would remove most of my boons/food. shrugs
Forums aren’t the best way to report exploits and it’s even against rules. If you believe it’s an exploit, report it through email to exploits@arena.net
Edit: hmm, I can’t recall for sure if it’s “exploit@” or “exploits@” though…
This has been in the game for a long time, it is just only now that these scrubs found a way to make it lethal. I doubt it will see a patch anytime soon unless it really gets out of hand. They deleted all of my posts about this so… Yeah hint hint.
