Wizard, thaumaturge: chilling advantage feat makes no sense. Adding rimefire when adding chill is already automatic when target is affected by smolder.

nova

Wizard : Thaumatuge : Chilling Advantage : All Cold-based spells, no long apply Chill, but instead directly apply Rimefire Smolder.

What's the point of this feat.
while using this feat you can infinitely stack Smolder/Rimefire, this obviously isn't intended, is this feat still a work in progress?

Wizard arcanist bugs since mod16:
1. Arcane powerfield doesn't benefit from the extra 0.5% damage increase from A Step Above Mastery feat.
2. Arcane powerfield does 50% weapon damage, not 50 magnitude as stated on the tooltip.
3. Lightning bolt still randomly misses targets when used.
4. Clunky cooldowns on arcanist. Basically you cant control your cooldowns on arcanist due to a visual bug or whatever it is, but when you try to use an encounter thats apparently off cooldown, it goes back to showing about 2s left then sometimes it repeats and goes back to 1s. Its the most annoying bug preventing me from playing that paragon right now. Just not enjoyable.

Btw when are the patchnotes coming out?

Apparently the map coordinates are the same for all: 850, 1358

@kevfire (unsure about the real forum handle) and myself figured that out, confirmed by a few more.

But we do not get any follow up quest(s)

Yeah my forum handle is different than toon name.
But I'm the Kevfire that bayaz is referring too, also wondering where we get more treasure maps from.

Bug- Mimic Server- quest kill Garyx and quest kill siegebreaker mog'dorath. Not sure if they are spawning at all. I saw another post saying they were spawning after 30 secs, but I spent an hour or more in the zone and did not see either spawn on 2 diff occasions.

@sykotica#9312 Garyx is a big baalor, you can find wandering in "elite" part of The Scab, spawnpoint is a center of a big empty field. Try to catch him when a minimap border become completely red.

Arcanist: The cooldowns when using Arcane Empowerment are bugged, lots of times they pass cooldown and when you click them they go to 1-2 secs cooldown again.

This bug is live on mod 18 too, same as in console.

It appears not only during Arcane Empowerment daily, also during your normal rotation. Very randomly.

See also in the OP that Blood War Party pops only on one instance (according to the devs) instead of all of them. So if you see there are multiple instances and Garyx (or the devil) is not appearing on yours when the Blood War indicators shows it should, try switching to another instance.

Known issue:
Arcanist relies too heavily on RNG, it's bad by design. Specifically, the odds on the bonuses are too low, and the bonuses maybe too powerful, it only ever plays out in very long fights and it's totally random if you get your bonuses during the dps check. In other words, there is no skill to your ability to do dps, it's just rng. In other games abilities and effects that turn a match into rng races are banned in certain formats other than casual, I supposed that would be fine, if Wizard had other viable builds.

In short, Wizard needs a major rework (known issue).

For AoE, ya could just go back to the way Directed Flames worked in M16 and fix the bug were chill procs DF (resulting in double procs), like we suggested way back then (and still hasn't been fixed btw). Maybe also increase the damage reduction of smolder from DF for balancing purposes. This would be the least interesting option, but should be, in my opinion, relatively easy to revert and balance. This is what we suggested for AoE in m16, but instead they claimed the it unintentional behavior to proc DF on Crits and ever since m17 was released (like a year?) we've had trash AoE builds.

(Who knows, maybe they really didn't foresee people slotting Crit Conflag *shrugs*)

Known issue:
Some DPS paths have variable degrees of ability to maintain forced Combat Advantage, either everyone should be able to maintain forced CA relatively equally, or none at all. It puts you in this sticky situation were paths that can easily maintain forced CA need to have weaker powers relative to those who can't, and then when CA is almost a given, like in the two latest trials, the balance is borked because now the forced CA doesn't matter much, and one class has stronger powers than the other.

The same^^ can be said for Smurf Bars (temp shield), either all healers should be able to do it relatively equally, or none at all, it's that powerful.

Pre M16, Forced CA was usually provided by marks, so even if you didn't have forced CA, you could rely on other classes' features which worked for everyone, so it wasn't much of an issue. If you want it harder to maintain CA, then there are at least 2 classes you need to tweak to make it harder to do so on, otherwise, give everyone back their abilities to force CA.

Any features that randomly proc'd off crits need to be given a twice over. Low probability features are bad for anything other than very long fights, if something has X% chance to proc on crits, it has at best X/2% chance to proc on any given attack. So if something has a 10% chance to proc on a Crit, it has a 5% chance to proc on any given attack given that your crit is capp'd. That means it could take 20+ attacks before say, Nightmare Wizardry procs, where as a Warlock can force CA on half of their attacks (around every 2 attacks). Another example is Spell Storm, 20% chance to proc on Crits, so 10% chance on any given attack, it procs very seldom now, which means it's not very reliable for AoE. Only one useful buff in Chaos Magic, 5% chance on Encounters, and 1/3 chance to get a useful buff, Quick Action, so less than 2% chance to proc on any given Encounter. I would like to see Chaos Magic Reworked to Quick Action, 5% chance to gain 10% action points on encounter use. The other one that buffs at wills is near useless, and as far as I can tell, the one that reduces CD's wears off before your CDs come off CD, at which point they revert back to their original CD length, so totally useless.

Thanks for listening if you got this far,

" A FRIEND IN NEED" BUGGED Beginning quest to enter new Path of the Fallen is bugged. The door isnt accessible.

For a wizard, smoldering does not work correctly,
http://joxi.ru/E2pJRkMUaXN0jr
smoldering (normal and icy), worked 33 times, although with the passive “Burning fire”, it should have worked at least 87 times (I just counted the cold beam, which delivered 182 hits, and 48% critical strike from them),
Here’s a "Burn Flash" test that should be smoldering
http://joxi.ru/p27wMLguWxzkx2
out of 77 flash strokes 18 smoldering strokes !!!
Return stacks of smoldering or update the counter with causing damage when overlapping, why does it not stack?
The basic mechanics do not inflict damage from the word at all, then why was it left at all?

Sorry for my english, i am use google translate
