Line 28:
*** Another similar thing almost happened to Warlocks (it got fixed in Beta, but MAN, what a Beta) between ''Burning Crusade'' and ''Wrath of the Lich King''. Tier 5 Warlock armor had a set bonus that increased the power of Corruption - a damage-over-time spell - with each Shadowbolt - a nuke spell - that struck that target. Then, WoTLK introduced a new talent called Everlasting Affliction, which ''refreshed the duration of Corruption'' when the afflicted target was hit with Shadowbolt. This got fixed immediately after a video appeared showing a Warlock's Corruption ticking for ''more digits than the game could handle'', estimated to be somewhere in the ''trillions.''
** A recent{{when}} bug with the new Looking For Dungeon instances allows druids to drive ground mounts ''through the air''. By zoning into a dungeon with the LFG function while in flight form and then leaving the dungeon while mounted, the druid would return to their original location in flight form with the mount hovering just under them. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a druid riding a flying mammoth!
*** On a similar note, in the Icecrown Citadel raid instance, there is an encounter called the Gunship Battle, wherein players must shoot down an opposing airship with cannons, and as part of the encounter must leap back and forth between ships with the help of rocket packs. The problem was that Druids in Bear Form... displayed the rocket packs directly on their asses. This was 'fixed' very briefly by disallowing any shape-shifted player to use the pack - and then fixed right back due to outcry from tanks not really wanting to have to change forms just to fly over and do their jobs. To this day, Bear Tanks fly by ass power. [[The Daily Quest]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101224201947/http://daily-quests.com/comic/?p=285 illustrates it nicely]
*** This bug is still consistently referenced by my guild whenever our Bear tanks an instance. You haven't player WoW until you've seen a bear flying around with an ass-powered rocket pack. Another interesting one to see is the new Halls of Origination, where every player can ride on a camel-including shapeshifted Druids. Rocket bear on a camel? Fear it.
** After completing certain quests, whenever you enter the Brunnhildar Village zone in Storm Peaks, your character will automatically be transformed into a female Frost Vrykul to blend in and interact with the villagers. Up until recently{{when}} this disguise was unaffected by the various transformations available to certain classes. With the Shaman's Ghost Wolf or the Druid's Travel Form it only meant you'd have a very fast-running vrykul, but the Druid's Flight Form allowed your still Vrykul-shaped character to swim through the air.
