Hello,
I'd like to report many of the bugs on Control Wizards.
If you guys find anymore, please answer this thread, and i ll add them to the list when relevant.
Bugs :
Ray of Enf : Still full CD when slotted on mastery (CD not affected by stats, feats or items)
Shard of Endless Avalanche :
- Does not crit when explode on 2 ennemies
- Does not crit when passing over one ennemy, pushing him down and damaging him
- can only crit when allowed to explode by itself
- Action Point Gain inconsistent or non-existent
- on Mastery slot, is said to be dropped anywhere, and will knock prone targetS! it lands on. But if it lands on more than one target, it immediately explode, no knocking prone. So either remove plural or make sure we can the knock prone then the explosion.
Icy Terrain :
- not considered a control spell by High Vizier set, but considered a control spell by Archmage set
- Action Points Gain inconsistent or non-existent
High Vizier Set :
- Slow time now only gives 450 def bonus, even when touching more than one target. Maybe the solution found to avoid getting more than one stack of arcane mastery when casting it is at base of problem.
I notify this because all other AOE control spells give 450 Def bonus per target hit, so should slow time !
- We still don't know how long the buff stays on us or target (not given in description)
Spells :
- We still don't know which spells are control spells
- We still don't know which spells are AOE spells
- We still don't know how long our spells last
- We still don't know the size of our AOEs
- Orb of imposition still indicate that control spells get +5% duration even when maxed at 3 points (and should be at 15%)
- Evocation still indicates that AOE spells get +5% dmg even when maxed at 3 points (and should be at 15%)
- We still don't know the size of AOE effect of chilling cloud At-Will
- Storm Fury : We still don't know how much dmg it does and the rate at which it procs
- Storm Spell : Still don't know how much dmg it does
- Storm pillar At-Will : Still indicate a ridiculously low amount of DMG, inconsistent with reality. But only does "real lvl-based" dmg when fully charged"
- All spells that leave targets prone don't indicate for how long they are prone
- RoE : Is Said to decrease dmg and mitigation of target. But no value is given for dmg
- Icy rays : "Briefly" stuns target. How briefly ?
- Maelstrom of Chaos : is said to "Greatly reduce dmg" while casting. how much is that ? does it add armor ? dmg resistance ? can this dmg reducing buff be DEbuffed by spells (such as RoE or other mitigation affecting spells) ? Does it affect necrotic dmg as well ?
Because casting it in the middle of a party of ppl using greater plague fire, greater tenebrous, and using Armor and Mitigation debuffs, if the "Greatly reduce dmg" is affected by all that or cannot stop certain types of dmg, there really is no point to a channeling daily !
- Eye of the storm : Still indicate that it will last 4 Seconds even when maxed out to 3 points and should be 8 seconds.
I actually fail to see where bugs have been Fixed for CW. Aside from some nerfs on our debuffs, and our Dps is now the lowest of all classes (not counting the dps done by pushing mobs off the edge), and the small positive bug on slow time, everything i have checked is still buggy, not explained, not working as it should ...
I went to the trouble of making this as clear as possible, I hope this is actually read by someone who can relay.
English is not my mother language. please pm if i made mistakes or if my grammar prevent the content to be understood.

Thought you did a pretty good job. My build doesn't use a lot of those spells, but you've taken time to point out some things to consider. Glad I didn't train Orb of Imposition
Loki < The Illuminati > 60 - Control Wizard
Protocol 60 - Great Weapon Fighter
Precisely because all CW are pushed into the same builds, since most of our spells are either useless/not working as intended. Therefore pushing us to all use the same spells and all be clones of each other ...
This is why i try to point out the many bugs on our spells on Test Shard, so they may be fixed and alternative CW builds may flourish ..
Though i'm surprised that you don't use RoE
So the only way to surrive for a CW is to get the High Vizier set with the defense bonus.
Problem is, ITS BUGGED.
- High Vizier Set: Reports of Chill Strike not proccing set bonus in Tab slot.
- High Vizier Set: Proc not working correctly with Steal Time; only works on one target even if multiple targets are hit by the power.
- High Vizier Set: Reported not to proc with Icy Terrain now.
Also Tiefling bug with some feats... Good I spent money on repsect (after the free one) and spent max points on that one.
▁ ▂ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ Gankdalf The Icehole █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂ ▁
and Stacks just getting lost 2 secs after leaving Combat instead of 10 secs
Otherwise it would end up with CWs going for Recharge Speed Increase to stack RoE endless.
