Warlock Bugs - Page 19

Cross-posting here from my original post in the SimulationCraft thread for further discussion. I assume it's a bug since Improved Soul Fire can only occur above 80% health, and most guilds use their Bloodlust/Heroism at the start of a fight, rendering the talent less useful than I originally thought, albeit still useful.

I'm not sure how it's being modelled by SimulationCraft, but it seems that Bloodlust/Heroism and Improved Soul Fire are mutually exclusive, i.e. if I have the Improved Soul Fire buff and a Bloodlust/Heroism is used, it will remove the buff. Is the Destruction profile taking this "issue" (not sure if it's intended by Blizzard) into account? Since I can't seem to see anything in the action list which would suggest so.

Here are some extracts from my guild's World of Logs to back it up:

[19:11:54.783] Moop gains Improved Soul Fire from Moop
[19:11:59.378] Moop's Improved Soul Fire fades
[19:11:59.378] Moop gains Heroism from Trivial
[19:11:59.378] Moop afflicted by Exhaustion from Moop

In the Dreamwalker encounter I noticed that my Shards do not get replenished when I use Shadowburn. I was able to reproduce this on every add type during the encounter, but I'm not sure what's causing it. My only explanation is that the adds died so quickly after my using Shadowburn on them, that it somehow didn't count.

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

I haven't been to VDW on my warlock since 4.0.1 hit, but prior to the patch Drain Soul did not grant shards on those adds, so either this is a persistent/related bug or it is intended behavior.

This has always been the case - spawned adds during boss encounters are not considered to grant XP or honor.

I noticed during the raid yesterday that only I was able to buff my pet with Unending breath, but none of my raidmembers could use any other buff on it (i.e. Arcane Intellect, Blessing of Kings, ...) Is this intended or a bug?

Haste aura not affecting imp too

This is only true for Wrath of Air and possibly Moonkin Aura. Shadow Form does affect the imp.

My bad then, does this apply to all encounters? If so then gaining Shards during an encounter seems impossible, which makes me a sad warlock.

This is completely false. It has always been something that needed to be tested on a case by case basis.

My blanket statement may be unwarranted, but it's certainly the norm for continuously spawning adds like in the VDW encounter. There's no bug here.

I was able to replenish all shards with a shadowburn on the living flames (big adds) on halion this week 100% positive

I can report that Raging Spirits also regenerate soul shards if you use shadowburn. However, sometimes shadowburn will go on cooldown and won't regenerate the shards. I think if you wait too long to hit the spell, and its either the killing blow or the target dies in the split seconds before the debuff is applied you won't receive the shards.

It is certainly possible that it is a bug/oversight on the part of the developers. If Demon Soul was still based on shards I would say it was critical to make developers aware of all instances they may have forgotten to attach experience, however with only soul burn attached to shards I think it hardly matters.

Ankhyus · 10/19/10, 1:40 PM

I gained Soul Shards using Shadowburn from the Volatile Ooze and Gas Cloud in the Putricide encounter. I can also confirm that Raging Spirits also grant Soul Shards.

During Valithria, most adds did not grant soul shards. However, I recall that the abominations did, but it is best if someone checks this to confirm it.

Demmy · 10/19/10, 1:42 PM

A target with your Shadowflame debuff on it will 'light up' your Conflagrate as useable, without Immolate being up.

I assume this is because Conflagrate could be used to consume ones Shadowflame (pre 4.0), though this is no longer the case.

Itsbacon · 10/19/10, 4:20 PM

I did a search and didn't see this bug posted anywhere, so I'll be posting it both here and on the oForums for
Blizzard to hopefully get fixed.

The talent 'Ancient Grimoire' (deep demo) when specced 2/2 states that it increases the duration of the Infernal
and Doomguard summons by 20 seconds. Noticed that the tooltip on both of those only reads '1.08' minute
summon time. So I did some testing, and as I thought the talent only gives a bonus of ~5 seconds.

Innulock · 10/19/10, 4:44 PM

1.08 minutes or 65 seconds would be about exactely 20 seconds more then the usual 45 second doomguard/infernal other specs have

Summon Infernal - Spell - World of Warcraft

During Halion 25 Heroic I experienced that Halion (aswell as the Living Flame adds) targets me for like half a second after I cast soul swap (to remove DoTs).

Since Halion breaths and cleaves this bug may result irreparable damage to your raid. Unfotunately I didn't attend any other raid this ID to find out whether or not it only appears there.

I noticed this same bug last night on HLK. I would SS to get a set of DoTs on one of the Valks, and LK would give me a "look" everytime I did. This was particularly troublesum for the 2nd valk/defile combo.

I am also noticing another bug involving SS. If I Swap a target that has Corruption on it via SB: SoC, it does not copy the Corruption.

vo1os · 10/21/10, 10:13 AM

Is it a bug that pet's(felguard) base spell damage is negative(naked warlock).

← Click Here

After pet's death bug disappeared. Hope it won't be back.

Fuqup · 10/21/10, 7:01 PM

Small bug but definitely worth noting - if you are casting a Soul Fire and Empowered Imp procs during your cast, you will lose your instant SF at the end of the cast.

e: Additionally, dismissing an Imp with Soul Link, then resummoning it with soulburn does not remove the Soul Link buff from your character.

Talimar · 10/22/10, 5:26 AM

If you are specced into nether ward it will still proc nether protection even if you don't have the extra points in it.
When I saw the animation I thought I was getting free damage reduction but the tooltip said otherwise:

vo1os · 10/22/10, 12:34 PM

Found new one. Not the warlock bug, but:
If we first use frost wyrm flask, and then scroll of intellect(now counts as offensive elixir) - we gain +30 Int(scaled with passive and buffs more). Use sequence matters.

Can someone with a us wow account post this bug in the official forum's thead, because this thing wreaked havok and destruction on halion before we realised where did it come from.
