The lifts of Thunder Bluff

Fail Cam

 



Slow Fall

This is a simple mistake to make and despite what anyone says, it's a mistake that every Horde player everywhere has made. The lifts of Thunder Bluff are a awe inspiring. They are also as dangerous as any low level boss fight. The rule of thumb here is be patient and wait for the lift to make it all the way to the top. Also just like in life, if you run for a elevator that's leaving there can be consequences. In life those consequences might be a sore nose and embarrassment. In a game it's a quick drop with a hard stop.  There are ways to avoid dying once you fall. Toping the charts with three ways to avoid the grim specter of death are mages. If you play a mage you can use your slow fall ability to well, slow your fall. The second way is to use your ice block ability that will incase you in ice and keep you from taking the massive damage. If you're really sneaky you can use your blink ability right before you hit the ground to reset the fall. Paladins have divine shield, and hand of protection. Both abilities prevent you from taking any damage. If you're a warrior you can use charge or intercept to complete the fall just before you hit the ground. Warlocks have demon charge (this requires being in demon form) and will work similar to a warriors charge. Priests have levitate and will work the same as a mage's slow fall. Also if you do happen to fall from the top of the lifts and survive you can get the achievement Going Down. This achievement is received earned for falling  65 yards or more without dying. Good luck and watch that last step.

Remember were all noobs, some of  us just fly the flag higher.
