Character login screen and equiped weapon bug?

I’m experiencing strange behavior with my characters at logging screen who have different weapons equiped depending on their specs. For example my shaman is speced resto, he have mace and shield equiped but when I log off completly to desktop and log back, at characters login screen he holds two maces from enh spec not the actual mace/shield I have equiped in game.

Does anyone else experiencing something like that? I did scan and repair, deleted Cache, WTF and Interface folders. Nothing helps.

Yep the character screen seems to be a little buggy recently.

I have not switched specs recently but when i change pieces of gear (not just weapons) or transmog something the character screen sometimes shows the wrong things even if i’ve been logged out a while or logged in/out a few times. It does eventually catch up though.

To be honest the character screen has been buggy ever since they introduced the Gear Update option.

Hello Lai,

Looking into this I can see we have similar reports going back a fair bit. It was previously passed on for investigating but ultimately isn’t considered a bug, but rather a result of how the transmog system and saved outfits work.

So you may want to try playing around with your most recently saved/applied outfits from the transmog window and see how that turns out.

Ultimately though, if you still think something isn’t working as it should – don’t hesitate to send a bug report in-game.

I should add that it’s not just gear, it also effects pets. For example i can use my Imp for days log in and out multiple times but the screen will show a different pet i havn’t used such as Voidwalker or sometimes it doesn’t show a pet at all even though i have one summoned.

When you log in the character screen used to always show your characters and thier pets exactly as it was when you logged off last but now it’s hit and miss if it’s shows them correctly.

I even had my character naked on one occasion… thought i’d been hacked!

I did report as a bug a while ago.
