Cast While Moving Exploit - Retail, WoW Classic (Patreon)

A patreon very kindly sent me this message:

Hi, here is one funny glitch you can do with warlock. It is present in every version of the game afaik, and has been shown to me originally on the classic client.

1. Cast eye of kilrogg

2. Start strafing while controlling the eye of kilrogg3. hardcast a spell and it should allow you to cast while moving

3. hardcast a spell and it should allow you to cast while moving

This method works well, however knowing how lazily Blizzard code these things I guessed they would have re-used the code elsewhere and duplicated the glitch. This turns out to be the case. The same glitch can be used with Hunter's "Eyes Of The Beast" for example.

It also works with toys like Darkmoon Racer. Essentially it works with any ability where you temporarily look through they eyes of and move around as something else, even mad items like "Gastropod Shell".

This exploit can be very useful in the hands of an expert but it has a limitation in that it requires set-up and can only be used once per summon. Additionally toys cannot be used in combat.

There are some very creative uses for this exploit: for example you can cap flags in resource battlegrounds with it while moving provided you stay within range of the flag.

This is not the first time this type of interaction has been found with "eye..."-type mechanics. Likely more will be discovered.
