Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, double-mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

Pft, some of us druids have been doing this forever. It really never gets old either.
1.Get two druids
2.Get as high as you can while still be able to click on the stone
3.Summon Raid
4.Laugh while people fall one by one.
I'm sure that my warlock friend and I will be able to have some fun with her newly revised conjure summoning stone spell.

See, this is something I've never considered but will now have to try out.

That would be a great idea for a warlock spell... summon enemy player.
They could position their portal over a cliff or somewhere else dangerous like lava, as long as they have the enemy targeted and 2 other people help out they can start channeling.. if the enemy playe allows enough time to go by then he gets ported and craters.
One hilarious thing I've seen is if you kill a Death Knight mid-air, (which can be easy for a mage slowfall/arcane power/arcane barrage/POM/pyro/arcane barrage/fireblast) then when he respawns as a ghoul he craters to his death :).

With locks able to create summoning stone out of the (haha) void, how will that perform on the respective airships in Icecrown? Will the 'stone' travel with the ship as players do after they touched it, and will summoned players appear at the stone or at the geographical coordinates they were summoned? :P
Nathanyel Dec 19th 2008 11:30AM
Actually, the second question is already answerable, as warlocks can already summon people... :B Have to find a lock and a third person later to test that ;)

Nathanyel: You can't summon people up to those airships. There was a big discussion on this due to us Horde not being able to get their Winter Veil achievement til 77.

I usually will stand on top of the stone to summon and jump down after the summon goes off but before they arrive.
Its so funny to hear someone go "WTF am I doing up here?"
Nathanyel Dec 19th 2008 11:25AM
Druids have actually been doing that since 68 ;)
Oh, we crows loved sitting on that Auchindoun stone...
Another case was the Coilfang Reservoir stone, with the help of a hunter, anyone could get on top of that stone, and people could even help getting themselves summoned up there from the ground for some reason.

We loved doing this to BT raids... the four druids were always first there to summon. There are perks to being a druid which tend to make up for shifting breaking nearly every cool extra in the game.

I've been ROFLCOPTERing onto the stone since the 70's, being careful to face the nearest sheer cliff/drop when available. About one time out of ten you'll grab a PuGer who was autorunning on a land mount. One guy in particular managed to run off the Ulduar 'island', we resummoned him before he met his doom, and he ran over the edge AGAIN.
