Classic Pseudo-Exploits and Mechanics

[Gandite]

This isn't classic but its still brilliant. My guild leader on Povar took enormous advantage of the exploit in the pit/arena in the plane of tactics. Mobs on each side of the pit were on a faction and he would start training mobs and using FD (necro) to start a faction war. Simply by being on the mob's hatelist if it died you got the experience. Needless to say he had his AAs maxed very quickly before it got patched.

I remember when mobs would get hung up on geometry. In North Karana I watched a Lvl 2 Gnome kill a Hill Giant using his Life Tap spell alone (as it was unresistable) . The giant was running up against the wizard spire and he sat and cast on the opposite side of it. He wound up killing the giant.
Later, I briefly took advantage of this in Everfrost with the mammoths. They would get stuck on something all the time and I would nuke them into oblivion with my wizard.
I remember when this got fixed. They released a patch which would make the mob warp through if it was running in place for a couple of seconds.

This isn't classic as it involves Kunark (so maybe it's pseud-Classic or whatever) but I remember that in Field of Bone there was a cave with spiders and occasionally a named spider would pop. However, instead of procing a poison he proced a level 49 earth pet ...that you could control heh. Yeah I will admit I used it for some leveling. This was when pets wouldn't zone yet so you pretty much would only get to level 20 but it sure was interesting.
