Rain From Above Exploit Deep Dive (Patreon)

This is something I showed briefly in my latest video but didn't want to risk explaining all the details publicly.

"Rain From Above" https://www.wowhead.com/spell=206803/rain-from-above

is a demon hunter pvp talent. When activated the demon hunter ascends into the air and a vehicle bar appears allowing the player to cast the ranged damage ability "Fel Lance" while you rise up and then descend back down.

Some time ago I discovered an exploit which is now fixed whereby you could cancel the vehicle bar in various ways and gain considerable height-often being able to break out of pvp areas.

Blizzard's fix however created another exploit. When the vehicle bar disappears you teleport back to the ground. When you do this while flying (you will need to enable old-school steady flying from the general tab of your spellbook to experience this) you literally teleport back down to the earth-you do not fall, it is an instantaneous teleport. This could be hundreds of yards.

As with many teleport effects this allows you to bypass some solid objects and things like instance portals (an example is shown in the video), it is an excellent exploration technique . It is also useful when you need to descend very fast-for example in the seething shore battleground you can use it to get to a node before enemy players if timed correctly at the start of the battleground.
