Diablo 3 exploit makes Wizard invincible

So OP

The woes keep coming for Blizzard as it has beenrevealedthat a fairly simple exploit allows players complete invulnerability by entering a series of commands with the Wizard.

It's unclear what the ramifications of this will be, although it seems clear that Blizzard is aware of the issue in some capacity as they have removed the technique for activating the invulnerability bug from the original post. It's likely Blizzard will issue an emergency patch to fix this before long, but by then plenty of free gear could potentially be farmed from high level bosses.

It seems a tad unfair to pick on Blizzard for one small exploit that happened to be the equivalent of God Mode. It's more bad luck than negligence on Blizzard's part, however this is the sort of thing they needed to anticipate when implementing the Real-Money Auction House, and fans have a right to be annoyed.

The gold farmers have got to be having a jolly old time this morning.
