A recently uncovered exploit reported by Rock, Paper, Shotgun claims that dancing using the emote /getdown will make you invincible. Apparently what happens is the enemy becomes constantly interrupted by your sweet moves and cannot take action against you for the length of your dancing.

Now we here at TORWars are vehemently against exploits of all kind so we certainly urge against using this in the game. The Ban Hammer of BioWare is swift and unrelenting. As we recently reported, people have been suspended or banned for exploiting chests on Ilum at very early levels. I have no doubt that busting out the Sprinkler to enthrall your enemy will be met with similar action.

I’m sure BioWare is working very quickly to squash this exploit and all original mention of it has been removed from the forums. Once again, we urge you not to reproduce this exploit for fear of BioWare’s wrath and for your own personal karma.

Having said that, it is still a pretty funny exploit so if you need to see it in action, here is a video by iAmPeacecraft showing it in action:
