BigRedKitty: Hunters are all Win in 9014

We figured a Crit Chance of 113.73% was enough, so we stopped. Good number, don't you think? Should we have stacked more? It's a tough question, that's for certain.
But either way, there it is: the Ultimate solution to hunters in arenas.
And battlegrounds.
And raiding.
And farming.
And soloing Sunwell.
And anything else your little dwarven heart desires, foshizzle.
Well of course it's a bug on the beta. Want to try it? Follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Un-equip your ranged weapon.
Step 2. Re-equip your ranged weapon.
Step 3. Look at your Crit Chance increase.
Step 4. Laugh maniacally.
Step 5. Repeat Steps 1-4 until you're totally satisfied.
Step 6. Kill everything in sight until Blizzard fixes this.
Is this limited to hunters or two-handed weapons only? We're unsure. Druids with staffs reported that they do not get to reap the benefits of this bug, but due to a server-restart, we were unable to complete a General Chat interview with a Death Knigget, Rogue, and Fury Warrior about their experiences.

I got to try this out, but having a warrior hit me for two million damage, it kind of pales in comparison :(

XD

Warriors, pallies and dks were all affected too. We were talking about in general in HF.

I wish it wasn't a bug =(
Velzak Oct 4th 2008 11:23AM
I tried this with a towh-handed weapon and it did not work for some reason.
Miko Oct 4th 2008 11:43AM
I, too, cannot get this to work. Following BRK's method, unfortunately, doesn't seem to work for everyone.

"staffs" is NOT a word!!!!
The plural of "Staff" is "Staves"!!!!!
(sorry.....pet peeve.)
Chris Anthony Oct 4th 2008 1:11PM
Sorry, Derbeste. "Staffs" and "staves" are both correct, and have been for at least four hundred years.
I happen to prefer "staves", but that doesn't invalidate the other.
Baggins Oct 6th 2008 3:06AM
Sure, staffs and staves are both words. But they are not both talking about the same thing.
If you have 2 big sticks, you have a pair of staves.
If you talk about Jim appointing people to guard duty, you could say he staffs it.

And I wondered why the booted Beta server this morning. Hotfixed. Nothing to see folks.

I only had a lvl 58 death knight to mess around with this bug. Heres a few things.

Awesome. Wish you'd gone and smacked some bosses tho.
Bular Oct 4th 2008 2:03PM
Yeah I couldn't I logged on about 30mins before they reset and hotfixed it.
dan Oct 4th 2008 1:07PM
You do understand that oftentimes it sounds like you are saying "death nigger" in your videos? How drunk were you when you decided that was a good nickname for the class?
Ryuhakubi Oct 4th 2008 1:22PM
Hai dere! There's a frenchman who would like to talk with you about your assumption regarding BRK's pronunciation.

And, frankly, half the time I hear Death Knnnnnnnigit in my head when talking about them.
Silly English-type...
