some shadow priest have obtained the Wrath of Cenarius on Classic and realised it doesn’t proc of mindflay ticks.
While it does proc on Arcane missiles ticks, both spells are 3sec (single target) channeled with 3 ticks.
The only reliable info, coming from patch notes, says :
Patch 1.10.0 (2006-03-28): Wrath of Cenarius will now trigger off all damaging spells.
Patch 1.12.0 (2006-08-22): This item will now trigger from [Arcane Missiles].
Arcane missiles used to not proc Wrath of cenarius at all wich was fixed it in 1.12. But it doesn’t say if each single target channeled took the behavior of Arcanes missiles or if it was the only channeled that was made able to proc the ring off each tick.
Hence my post, Is Wrath of Cenarius supposed to not proc on mindflay ticks ?
Why would it work in the same way as for arcane missiles? Arcane missiles works completely different from most (all?) other channeled spells.
Mind flay, drain life and drain soul all got a single chance to resist fully on application. For arcane missiles each individual bolt can fully resist, but resisting the first bolt won’t stop the following two bolts from being launched. Arcane missiles can also crit, unlike other channeled spells.
Does Wrath of Cenarius proc on mind flay application? I would expect that to be the only time time mind flay should be able to proc it.
Ok thanks for the infos, I didn’t knew you could crit on arcane missiles and that each bolt had an individual chance to resist.
Just seems that even tho arcane missiles is called a “channeled” it doesn’t work like one.
Yes Wrath of Cenarius is only able to proc on application because i’m now guessing it’s considered as a 3 sec dot and not 3 different spell landing every second like Arcane missiles, that channeled coding is pretty confusing…
