Re: I heard a rumor - paranoia officially not an exploit?

It was an exploit, as the new text-notes confirm. They fixed the spell to not cause aggro (like it should be), which means it causing aggro was a bug, which means spamming it to get aggro was exploiting a bug. Good to see Blizz is fixing this... |

A long overdue fix. Glad to see it changed. |

From 1.5 PAtch the paranoia exploit is gone. They fixed it so back to VW ;)

Maybe your "State of Paranoia" makes you less susceptible to Mind Control.

I heard a rumor - paranoia officially not an exploit?
Having to sic VW on a mob and ssslllooowwwlllyyy deploy my DOTS so the pet could maintain agro seemed silly. Speccing into Demonology just so the feeble VW could do it's basic job seemed like a rip-off to me. Before I got Paranoia I was using the Suc and Drain Tanking things to death. Once the VW loses agro, he is worthless, other than to shield. His damage is crap. I tried waiting to let him build agro. Using Curse of Agony + Corruption and healing him with Health Funnel. Then casting Immolate + Drain to finish. Then letting him heal himself. Yes it works, but it takes about 3 times longer to kill the mob. If you try to go faster, you draw agro, and you're back to Drain tanking with a low DPS pet. VW has more health than Felhunter, but Health Funnel is so powerful (without talents) that I can fully heal either pet through almost any fight. I tried using VW for the harder hitting mobs, the ones that killed the Felhunter quickly. Honestly, the VW didn't last much longer...maybe a few seconds. If Blizzard had officially said it was an exploit I would have immediately stopped using the tactic. Everyone knew it was a bug. If Blizzard can't take the time to fix our bugs (Paranoia agro, Improved Drain Soul, Shadowburn shard creation, lagging pets, quick enslave break, Improved Healthstone, etc.) then I'm going to use the one bug that benefits us while working around the rest. I used the Paranoia bug, and didn't feel good or bad about it. Now that it's gone, I won't miss it. (even if they had fixed it during my pre-60 grinding days) I know many will look down on me and my "exploitz", and possibly flame. But I thought the other side of the argument should be heard. For referrence, I am split Affliction/Destruction build, up to Nightfall and Ruin.
