Abuse of Magic

[ShindoL Shill]

So I got bored in Skyrim, and went to the jail in Whiterun to get my stuff back after a little triple homicide and lollygagging. I met Sabjorn, who was being a whiny little ***** about the whole 'I poisoned his mead supply' fiasco.
Naturally, I dealt with it like the mature person I am. By that, I mean I hit him with Fury and used my healing hands on him constantly to provide at least 60 seconds of bloodsport between a guy in rags with no weapon and two guardsmen (I paid off the jailor for the assault (apparently Fury is an assault) by being in the Thieves Guild and also by being a smooth, and rich, bastard).

So what have YOU done in ANY game with magic (or a similar system) to basically troll the in-game population?

Ok I'm still completely confused as to why everyone is obsessed with gagging on lollies in Skyrim, is that some sort of special hooker move? They gag on a lolly and you masturbate, or they gag you with a lolly and then a midget comes in...?

I haven't, but this thread makes me want to explore the magic system more...

Does Morrowind alchemy abuse count?

no, its a DB assassin technique. you befriend your target, offer them a lolly then gag them with it until they choke. masturbation is optional.

that actually sounds like a good technique...

Back in WoW's prime, when priest mana regen was crazy good in a raiding healer build and the right gear, I would just troll battlegrounds in my healing gear, in full Holy spec.

I couldn't kill anything, unless I was fighting someone foolish who didn't see that my single SW DoT was gradually chipping them down, but I was very hard to kill even in PvE gear because my healing was just so strong, and mana burning me was almost pointless. Dispelling my renew was hard, and even a single tick of it could heal for 2k (and I was of course specced into the up front instant heal bonus of it). I could throw out Holy Nova and almost guarantee a crit (thus, proccing my instant cast flash heal timer).

Outhealing damage in a 1v1 or 2v1 situation was relatively trivial, allowing reinforcements to arrive. It used to infuriate people. Especially if they think they've got you - like a rogue stun locking you down to about 15% health, then you get out of it, throw Guardian Spirit on yourself and crit heal yourself for 35,000 (when caster healthpools were around 10-15k in raid gear).

I mean, I had a PvP spec, but it was so much fun just to walk into a battleground in full PvE raid set and start throwing around enormous heals (since PvP caster gear obviously reduced your "pure" stats).

There was a 5 man daily quest in Icecrown (during the Lich King expansion) with a relatively easy Elite dragon. I used to solo that guy slowly as a holy priest. He had a ton of health, but he simply could not out-damage my healing. That felt like trolling the NPCs, since you're supposed to get a tank and healer and DPS.

Someone mentioned it before, but queuing up for random Heroic dungeons and managing to out DPS a DPS class while simultaneously healing the instance too. Always fun.
