List of Mage Bugs

Please fix - They exist since SL launch.

General:

  • Alter Time even if it’s free of GCD has an internal CD that doesn’t allow you to use it immediately.
  • When using Blink/Shimmer in the Necropolis area of Necrotic Wake to teleport forward, instead it teleports you to left or right side. (With Arcane Momentum, even though if facing forward).

Arcane:

  • Mass Invisibility breaks when using Door of Shadows with Agent of Chaos Soulbind trait (Nadija).
  • Arcane Prodigy and Nether Precision conduits don’t work with Arcane Empowerment PvP talent.
  • Arcane Barrage rank 3 returns only 1% mana per Arcane Charge instead of 2%.
  • Shifting Power doesn’t reduce the CD of Alter Time, only for Arcane.

Fire:

  • Dragon’s Breath breaks on Pyroblast dot, Flame Patch, Meteor ground effect and Living Bomb.
  • Triune Ward legendary interacts weirdly with Blazing Soul talent - Doesn’t proc the 3 barriers, gives only Blazing Barrier at 65% effectiveness.

Frost:

  • Icy Propulsion conduit doesn’t affect Ice Form PvP talent.
  • Triune Ward legendary doesn’t apply all 3 Barriers with Glacial Insulation talent, applies only Ice Barrier at 65% effectiveness. Also does the same after using Cold Snap to reset the CD of Ice Barrier.
  • Sometimes get aggro in dungeon after death, causing mobs to teleport to you and attack you.

If I forgot something please add.

  • Blinking through stairs
  • Blinking through some floors in Torghast which leaves you stuck
    And not sure if wanted or not but when you use Invis your mirrorimages do not Invis aswell which is kinda bad in Arena since they still follow you

It’s arguable that this is a bug, but it seems bad:

  • Mindgames causes Cauterise to instantly kill the mage.

Yeah maybe a bug, when having followers in quests they stealth along with you when you use invisibility.

Doesn’t seem like a bug. Probably to stop you accidently hitting it twice and removing it. Why would you want to hit it twice instantly?

Why would it?

If you play Master of Time and you just want to double press Alter, to reset your Blink CD for extra mobility. But the iGCD they added on release, makes that super awkward.
Also in PvP, you can use Blink offensively with Master of Time, then Alter/Alter back instantly to get another Blink, so you don’t get caught in a stun and die.

Because it’s a replacement for Icy Veins, why wouldn’t it?

Shimmer replaces Blink, Flow of Time works on it.

Ice form is very different to icy viens though… then again frost could use some help so why not.

I’ve had that in pve. Playing fire in dungeons and mobs eat your fbs and you get no procs.

Kyrian third soulbind’s ability Bron’s Call to Action reads:

After using 90 damaging or healing spells and abilities, your next spell or ability summons Bron, who knocks enemies back on arrival and then attacks and heals your targets for 30 sec.

However, arcane missiles don’t count as damaging abilities, not even the initial cast.

Lmao that’s so lame…
The list is growing. Plz do something Blizz.
How hard is it, dammit?

Of course it’s arcane spell that doesn’t work with it.

I’m not Kyrian but from what I see any damaging/healing spell/ability counts regardless of school… definitely a bug.

If you reset your barrier too fast as arcane, using barrier again will only grant you the arcane one and not all of them. IE if you are using night fae with the Discipline of the Grove conduit, it actually nerfs you VERY hard.

I would very much like to have those conduits fix’d and take advantage of it when it comes to my dps.

Phoenix flames doesn’t hit totem type targets or whatever they’re classified as, things like explosive, war banner and the night fae pod

Ty my surprise this bugged Arcane Mage conduits that dont work with Arcane Empowerment PvP talent has been reported as soon as 28.11.2020 to what I was able to find out. And yet still not fix’d.

Generally speaking, when something replaces an ability, effects that enhance that ability are carried over to the new one.

Like on my Warrior, I pick Condemn, all the talents and PvP talents that buff that ability: - Sudden Death, Death Sentence and Massacre all carry over to the new ability.

Mages seem to have been forgotten in this respect, with legendaries and some conduits being non-functional with certain talents.

Feels like they never finished pvp. Has arcane still got the pvp talent that ‘lets clearcasting stack up to 3 times’?

Yup, and it causes 2 conduits to fail to function when you pick it.
