1) Ray of Frost gives too little AP relative to its cast time. Ray of Frost gives AP as if it has a cast time of 0.48, instead of a cast time of 0.5.
2) Shard of Endless Avalanche gives too little AP relative to its cast time. It gives AP as if it has a cast time of 0.48, instead of a cast time of 0.74
3) A Step Above Mastery does not work as intended. It is supposed to increase the damage boost of Arcane Stacks from 0.5% to 1.5% per stack and increase your stack count to 10, instead what it does is it passively increases your damage by 1% and then increases the count of your stacks to 5.
4) Elemental Reinforcement does not stack, each time you cast it, it increases the damage of a different type and overwrites the previous buff.
5) Shard of Endless Avalanche does too much damage on one of the enemies it hits. It hits a single enemy for 350 magnitude.
6) Icy Terrain still does not (after I don't know how many mods) damage frozen enemies.
7) Fanning the Flame still does not scale with AP Gain.
8) Fireball does not scale with AP Gain.
9) Smolder (not rimefire) triggered by critial conflagration has a 0% chance to critically hit.
10) Chill Triggers smolder, which causes Ray of Frost to trigger it twice.
11) Relative Haste speeds up the cooldown rate of powers by far more than 10%.
12) The Ray of Enfeeblement 10% outgoing damage debuff is not reducing enemies damage.
Supporting Evidence for 3) with 100 damage weapons and 28 int, no other modifiers.
As you can see, the base damage of magic missiles increased from 26.75 to 27.0175 simply by allocating the feat and the damage bonus per stack was not increased.

6) Icy Terrain also doesn't affect some kinds of targets, for ex Bosses in LOMM.
11) Relative Haste is nice, don't change it
Every class got many corrections since mod 16 release . But wizards, none...

Also, since Mod 16, my game has frozen four times, forcing me to quit and restart. Three times when going through a rotation with the wizard, and one other time when someone else was going through a rotation with their wizard.
This is on PS4, but I was wondering if it happens to PC wizards too.
Also, the 10% outgoing damage debuff on Ray of Enfeeblement is not working. See here:
The OP hits me for 43 damage both before and after application, regardless of whether it is on or off mastery (the outgoing damage debuff should work off mastery).
Elemental Reinforcement is a useless feat in its current form, if you want Arcanmist to compete with Thaumaturge, it needs to stack and the, "alternating skills" mechanic is enough incentive with stacking to motivate skilled play. Having it not stack defeats the entire purpose of the feat. If A Step Above Mastery was working as described, you would never even consider Elemental Reinforcement unless it stacked.
And yes, I will bug report it, since it stacked on the Beta test and on preview before the module went live.

Rest: later (if anytime at all)
Anyone wanna bet?
