Lets talk about blizzard

[Bootystab-ashbringer]

so, blizzard goes ahead and fixes the ranged attack power scaling for hunters, something that “they considered a bug”, and was fixed in tbc.

what if i tell you that chance on hit weapons and trinkets not procing if u are on gcd is a way more major bug, that ORIGINAL vanilla developers said that it would be fixed if they knew about it back then (if its even a real bug that existed then and not created with their legion client, which i doubt)?
u fix something that the developers never intended to be fixed in classic and was changed in tbc but dont fix actual gamebreaking bugs.
NEXT FIX IS ELE SHAMAN 2 CRITS 1 GCD OR RIOT

They are never going to fix the on hit stuff because that was a “fix” that landed in TBC in order to make Vanilla trinkets less powerful than TBC ones.

Prepare for Horde apologists telling you that having 2x crits is fine and you need to l2p.

Uuhm, that’s by design, not a bug.

@Bewarê-frostmane

Uhm no, it’s a data flag set on certain procs. In other words, it’s not a bug. It also doesn’t affect every proc. For example HoJ doesn’t have that data flag, so you’re wrong about that one.
Nightfall however does have that data flag on it, to prevent the proc during GCD.

It’s something the vanilla game devs put into the game at some point, and so the Classic team has stated very clearly that they don’t intend to change it. Because it’s there by design, so it’s NOT a bug.

Following up their previous discussion, Blizzard added a new post to discuss about how the GCD affects proc effects in Classic WoW. In the post, Blizzard clarifies that while the result they shared was correct previously, the reasoning was wrong,…

the actual answer for why these items are bound by the GCD was far more mundane; some proc effects simply have a data flag set to obey GCDs, and the items listed in the original thread about this all have that data flag set in the 1.12 data. We still don’t consider this to be a bug as the fact that this was set in the original data even more strongly suggests that these effects were intended to behave this way from the start.

Again, sincere apologies for the bad info. While we feel its important that some sense of mystery remains in the game for players to discover and decipher, we at least want to ensure that whatever information we do share to be correct and not contribute further to the misinformation that is common in discussions around game mechanics.

tell that to the original wow dev that got asked that on twitter, sucks that i dont have that saved for when u and dottie come in
u choose to trust that blizz actually has a reference client and not some frankenstain half-legion abomination that 2-3 interns put together as a weekend project

Who cares at this point tbh. They’re so weird pulling major changes (RAP, pool boosting) a year into Classic.

What would be hilarious if they fix Diamond Flask.

[Geth-zandalar-tribe]

I do think that it’s weird that they’re rolling out these kind of “fixes” 1+ years into Classic.

Same thing with the ignite change that came with P5. It took them 5 phases to “fix” it, the moment every mage goes Fire spec.

Plenty of things should have been fixed long ago, but at this point it’s kind of moot. Just like rogues negating spells with Vanish.

No, diamond flask healing. That was hotfixed a few months into TBC, unlike Ele shaman crits which was changed in a normal patch 11 months into TBC.

Goes to show how lazy, unprofessional, out of touch, clueless and inept “blizzard” has become

As an elemental I can truly say this is broken af, its fun tho. Stomp → win.

[Miylee-darksorrow (Miylee)]

Hey, stop pointing at my flask. I love hearing people whisper “Diamond Flask…?” whenever a good piece of healing gear drops.

[Punkpally-firemaw]

And the sweating of every healer in the group at that moment
