Firemage bugs on preview server

Hello, I have been testing new builds for fire mage for upcoming module 5. I found few bugs regarding powers on preview server, hopefully they wont appear on Dragon. Here is the list of bugs:
-Icy terrain: works only as a single target spell, not dealing damage or stacking chill to multiple targrgets on it
-Smolder/Rimefire + Chilling pressence: chilling pressence does not effect damage of smolder, it only effects initial spell (shorching burst / fanning the flame) damage, but smolder/rimfire damage stays the same with or without stacks of chill on target.
-Feat Focused Wizardry is not effecting smolder that is caused by Fanning the Flame, altho smolder is single target damage (it is effecting lightning strikes from Storm Spell regardles of spell used to deal damage and causing Storm Spell to activate), it was efecting it untill now

Also please check if Feat that gives critical chance to Chilling presence works correctly, i should have 60% critical chance with it and i my combat tracker counts only 50% crit hits (in about 5 minutes of constant dummy attacking).

Hope to see you take care of this
Best regards

Flaashy

    Hey flashy - when I tested (albeit a while ago) Icy terrain seemed to be working fine.

    Now chilling presence, I know there are issues with that and the renegade feat, however it seemed to be about right in my logs. That said, it wasn't very good.

    Now fanning the flame has four parts to the spell, and i'm not sure focused wizardry applies to all parts. As far as i know, focused wizardry applies to smolder generally. It might be different if fanning is on tab (i didn't test this specifically as it wasn't what i was looking for).

    Hello,
    well about fanning the flame + focused vizardry when you have it on mastery, it applies smolder to nearby targets and that smolder damage isn'nt buffed by focused vizardry. Also none of smolder/rimefire is buffed by chilling pressence, sadly.

    Tested it again on live server today, but chililng pressence + smolder / rimefire still doesen't work together, same with smolder damage from fanning the flame and focused wizardry.

    Would be awesome if it would be fixed since smolder is main dmg source for fire wizards and this bug lowers its dmg for 36 - 72% (depending on stacks) and that is quite a lot :/

    Fanning the flame is AOE on mastery, meaning it should NOT benefit from focused wizardry.

    Now smolder in general DOES benefit from focused wizardry.

    Now i haven't specifically tested chilling presence in the new patch, simply because crit conflag and swath of destruction is far too good to unslot.

    However if it is buggy, i'd love to see a good parse of it and see what's happening. Keep me updated and thank you,

    Like i said, Fanning the Flame works propperly (does not benefit from FW when on mastery), but the Smolder it applys doesen't benefit from Focused wizardry like it should. Also chilling pressence (would be even better if smolder/rimefire would benefit from it) in new module is way more benefitial then critical conflagration, as long as you manage to apply smolder on everything, which is quite easy with fanning the flame on mastery + feat from thaumage that spreads smolder from FtF with 40% chance. You dont need to apply more smolder once you got rimefire on all mobs ;D

    Hey, i have heard this thought process before, but every single time i log a CW using this technique, smolder is simply NOT applied effectively.

    It sounds good in theory, but never seems to actually work in practice.

    Would love to be proven wrong someday. PM me and i'll take you next time i do CN?
