Client Patch 1.4.1

[Alarick]

More study is required, but comments from people I know who have camped Menethil Harbor and its flight path seem to indicate that this kind of loophole does not work.  That is, they've done stuff like wait 20 seconds, stun/polymorph attack, wait for the buff to dissappear, and then kill the person.  But they found that doing so does not result in an honorable kill.  It appears that combat cannot be initiated during the 30 seconds and result in an honorable kill.  My guess is that the person has to be out of combat after the buff disappears before they become eligible to be an honorable kill.  Again, more study is needed to discover what loopholes if any exist.  However, it appears that Blizzard may have actually implemented this feature well.  At least, they seem to have passed the "first glance" test.

What I'm curious about is, if a ungrouped mage or two kept a person polyed for the duration of the buff, but one of the mages did nothing for the last 5 seconds and left combat with the locked player, could he then kill the person for honor?

This is more what I could see the loophole being. It requires a good amount of testing, but if it's possible, I see sets of 3 ungrouped rogues camping flight points to do exactly this.
