Now tumble just refers to something that drops your action quickly, this guy was not tumbling. I recently decided to try out combat medic. While i was in the med center wasting some time while waiting on my brother to come warcry for me this guy jumped up and said he had the uber tumble. He directed everyone in the med center to focus his heals on him when he said go. Next thing i know, his 3k action bar dropped in about a second and a half. He was doing 1-2k damage to his action about 4 times a second, the whole med center couldnt really keep up. I asked him how he was doing it and he told me 2 mill for the info.I dont blame him, if i didnt have my brother to warcry for me and didnt know id be done with med xp that day then i would have probably paid him. 2 mill is well worth the day or two or three it would have taken on a community tumbler. The next day he telled me that he was doing it again, well i had done mastered by this time and i told him that. Then he told me he got it up to 5k a hit. Thats down to 1 action with the best buffs on any server 5 times a second. Since ive mastered this has become nothing more than a curiousity to me so i would like to know how it was done. Was it an exploit? I haventseen any action take anywhere near that much ham per use, and ive been through every combat profession and most of the others.
In the combat log all it said was he stood over and over.

Well ive never tried a tellpet macro before, but i was led to belive it onlytakes about 150-200 action. I have told a pet to do a trick just for **edit**s and giggles and i definitally know it didnt take 1k action, but i was more than likely buffed at the time. This guy said he had it up to 5k last time i talked to him. And yes, his mind went down uber fast too, 2 brandys and a canape were the only way he could completely get rid of it (he had no ahrisa and i didnt either at the time). With just 2 brandys his mind would go in about 10 seconds (if not quicker). Ill try the tellpet thing when i get up, its time for sleep now, but i dont think thats what it was.

Ok let me try to explain a little clearer. You remember in the old days when you grinded image designer. You seen the blue blur above people heads where they were doing ids so fast. Well thats what this was like, except it was a green blur and every now and then you could make out that the damage was in the thousands (1-2k when i watched him). A full 3k ham bar gone in less than a second. If you could do that with /tellpet then why doesnt everyone do it? You could grind from novice medic to master doc in an hour with this (well as novice medic itwould take a little time until you could heal faster). Meh, im just gonna go to sleep, ill try the tellpet thing tomorrow.

he dropped it quickly because he pressed the macro button more than once so the action burns stack so each time he can drop about 500 action, its easy to do and not everyone does it because not everyone knows how
who would have thought, a system in game that not everyone knows about! holy shrimp thats amazing!

It's called Stupid Pet Tricks (tm).
Not really an exploit. Just another lame grinding mechanism.
One of the easiest ways to drop your action is to pull a pet out, drink some brandy, then macro spam /tellpet trick1 until the brandy wears out.
You have to drink the brandy because otherwise your mind drops to nothing in no time flat.
