jayrad8

Updated the list from M4 -- original can be found here.

Please continue to post any new bugs that have come about in M5 in this thread and also in the bug reports section if you have not already done so. Thanks!

General

• Control Bonus: Affects Arcane Singularity negatively at high percentages and does not affect Maelstrom of Chaos, Icy Terrain, or Shard of the Endless Avalanche. (bug report)
• Rimefire: Damage is delayed until the end of the effect that created it (ie. CoI). (bug report)
• Rimefire: Spellstorm CWs can turn a Master of Flame CW's Smolder into Rimefire and then take credit for the damage generated.
• Shadow Weaver Armor Set: After set bonus expires it will not proc again for 90sec.
• Tooltip Inconsistency: The tooltips for Icy terrain and Conduit of Ice give the damage per second. The tooltip for Ray of Enfeeblement gives the total damage.
• Control Bonus Stat: Bonus from Wisdom does not appear in character stats. (bug report)
• Legendary Orbs: Character gear score is missing 281 points when equipped. (bug report)
• Critical Severity Stat: Increases such as the bonus from a Vorpal weapon enchantment are not included. (bug report)

• Shard of the Endless Avalanche: Frequently gets stuck in terrain - usually in Icewind Dale.
• Shard of the Endless Avalanche: On mastery, occasionally passes through targets with no effect, which can seemingly occur randomly or when AoEs such as Hallowed Ground and Thorn Ward are active on the target's area. (bug report)
• Shard of the Endless Avalanche: Off mastery, it is sometimes conjured in places not directly in front of you depending on the terrain around you and may take multiple key presses to conjure.

• Shard of the Endless Avalanche: Disappears when you are CC'd, except for being proned.

If you are a player that likes testing things, it'd also be useful to confirm that all of our Class Feature Bonuses on the new offhand are working

I'm pretty sure that "Chaos Magic: A single CW can proc more than one buff to themselves at a time." was fixed. I haven't seen that occure in a very very long time.

I also don't see hits of 0 on conduit of ice or sudden storm.

Confirming the BUG.

AP ratio before the Icy Terrain cast.


AP ratio after the Icy Terrain cast.

smulch

I wouldn't count that as a bug but rather an engine limitation.

Can confirm that it still happens, just rarely/randomly and in situations that cannot be easily reproduced. Updated the OP with this bug report.

It only happens when CoI and SS are used on Mastery (Tab) -- updated the OP.

I just noticed that, Chiling presence DOUBLES the tooltip damage of some skills (chill strike etc. but not conduit etc.).While the real damage the skills deal is still normal amount (half of the tooltip now. Is this a bug?

To my knowledge, when you slot Chilling Presence (CP) on your bar, all of you damage tooltips adjust to their max potential. So they are displaying the amount you would hit to a frozen target with the 72% damage increase.

For DoT powers that display the damage per hit, like CoI, instead of the total amount of damage, like RoE, the damage is not adjusted in the tooltip when using CP. However, CP does still increase the damage of powers for which it does not adjust the tooltip.

It's WAI afaik and a great feature. If you want to see your normal damage, drop CP -- if you want to see how much damage you can do with CP to a frozen target, slot CP.

I'm not sure if this was a buff from another player somehow, but this line appeared in my combat log:

> Your Rimefire Smolder deals 4376 (2110) Cold Damage to Hohengroth.

...which is odd, as I'm Spellstorm, not MoF.

c1k4ml3kc3

Yes, the debuff which MoF does party-wise will be added to the SS CW. So, practically, MoF may increase your DPS because the calculations are made in such a way to show the DPS of both users, but only on the one CW who's, in this case, an SS.

Curious now, I wonder how it looks when there're three MoFs

niadan

The damage is applied to the person that uses a spell that would turn the smolder into rimfire.

Why doesn't every single bullet point have a related Bug forum posting linked?
The devs aren't going to take this posting as a "list" of bugs - each one should be officially posted.

Anyone else noticed that Stone of Allure sometimes vanishes and you have to dismiss and summon again?

I get that too. It's just visual though. Not sure if others still see it or not.

Is the feat Focused Wizardry? If so then it is WAI because Chill Strike in Spell Mastery turns into an AOE.

Official post in the "bug" subforum

Playing with Critical Strike recently, I've noticed a bug with Renegade feat Chilling Advantage and Chilling Presence.

- Chilling Advantage
: After using Chilling Advantage Feat and switching to the Eye of the Storm, the bonus 10% from the feat will remain active on the Character Window. I've managed to produce 147.7 Critical chance via switching from Chilling Presence to Eye of the Storm.

This picture indicates that I have the active Buff value of 10% even after removing the Chilling Presence paragon Spell.


This picture is after EotS activation, resulting in the 110% of Buff value


The reseter for the counter is getting your HP to 0.0 i.e Soulforged or Release after you've been defeated. After that the value is normal with 0 Buff value.

I think the person who reported this was trying to say that CS on mastery always does less damage to the main target (potentially due to a feat), which I have noticed before.

So the comparable situations would be, CS on mastery with zero feats does X damage to all targets and then with the particular feat CS on mastery does X damage to splash targets and Y damage to the main target, where Y is less than X.

FW would reduce the damage in going from CS on normal to CS on mastery, but may not be WAI if it reduces the damage done to the main target by more than the reduction on splash targets.

I haven't really looked into it myself yet but others are more than welcome to investigate.
