First of all, the spell no longer summons NPC's. It puts a debuff on the target, "Under attack by a flock of crows." And crows continuosly kamikaze the target. Like spell projectiles, not npcs. So check this out. If you use it while someone is flying around, the graphic projectiles won't catch them, so they just keep coming and never disappear.

But sadly, it was nerfed a little.

Yep, that's a nerf, as the crows can't get buffs now. I hope there's still some scaling, otherwise, might not be the best choice in that tier anymore.

I think the point is that it -isn't- the "best choice in that tier". There shouldn't, in theory, BE a 'best choice in the tier' because then everyone will take it. ESPECIALLY in a damage tier like the one MoC is in.

On the other hand, eternally spawning crows is hilarious, imo.

Well, let me rephrase that... if it doesn't scale, it will get left behind in terms of usefulness.

While it's often either fun or informative to divert threads a bit. Slick, it's not necessary to divert so many threads so that you can post something pessimistic. You have enough already. This was a thread about a fun glitch. Let's take a break and keep it that way :)

The scary thing is, this is not a far stretch from the real world at times.
Crows have been known to gather in, scary numbers.

It's kinda creepy and kinda cool at the same time. :shock:

Ahahahah, this reminds me of the Paper Zeppelin bug, where basically...if you kept throwing zeppelins at someone who was running away, they'd never catch them.

Kakra is my nelf DK before I renamed her. This song was playing in my head the ENTIRE TIME so I made James put it on the video.

Murder of Crows, indeed. :)

I remember the paper zeppelin madness! Also reminds me of when my friend would abuse his ethereal portal hearthstone TCG item to spawn them endlessly.

Also reminds me of the night I tried camping for TLPD and I made a move in my madness of myself doing loop-de-loops while a protodrake's frostbolt tried ever so valiantly to catch up to me.

Haha oh the paper zeps!! <3

The crows are making me laugh so much! I was messing around in the PTR and someone randomly asked to form a raid group so he could try out a solo FL situation. Well, the instance door essentially life gripped him back and kept him from running down the ramp, so I checked out to see if that would happen in BH while he checked out another raid.

I got in, attacked the first mob, threw out my crows, and she killed my pet (as I kinda' expected). I FD'd, and the lady reset, however, my crows didn't. She started pacing her path with crows pecking on her head without a care until they despawned at the regular time. :)

Yep, "evade" continued showing on my screen, but otherwise fun to watch!
