Arcane Blast bugged?

#1 » Post by JarJarBinks » 15 Jul 2013 08:27

I've heard many people saying AB is bugged and that it deals a lot more damage than it's meant to.
I was trying to check myself how much damage AB is supposed to do assuming a spell power of 3k.
"Blasts the target with energy dealing 1256 to 1460 arcane damage" I did some research on Spell damage and found out about spell power coefficient according to which AB should gain 71% of Spell power which comes out to be 2130 damage. Adding this to AB damage of (min) 1256 we get 3386. My question is how exactly do talents with damage modifiers add up? And how much damage is obtained after all that?

Even if it is bugged it would be VERY hard to calculate assuming you count in Critical Strike rating, which can do a random critical, ranging from a certain amount to who knows how much, it very depends on buffs and talents as well because they too increase the damage done or the crit chance of the AB.
What you visualize is what you create around you.
When you visualize something good or bad you will always get it! So better visualize what you really want :-)

ret Paladins and frost dks have more bugs which makes them do a lot more damage then they should, thats why so many paladins at top of recount.

Yes, hunters pets are dealing too few damage, they should be dealing 1k per hit, instead of lacky 200-400. And for that, hunters hitting like a truck in PvP, is because they are changing to apen gear when they hit u

So only AB is bugged or are there any bugs in Fire/Frost? I mean like any spells which deal more/less damage than they should like AB.
Apparently there is a bug with some bonus damage talents which cause AB to get so much high damage..without any talents it does almost correct damage i think.

apart for the Arcane blast bug, there is the major arcane missiles bug ( it used to be bugged, not sure if it's fixed now as i'm inactive on mage for a long time :/ )
-The 30% additional critical strike chance from improved clearcasting IS in effect for the volley of missiles that procced clearcasting.
the way it was, the 30% extra crit only affected the first missile of the 5 in arcane missiles :/
teh char list ( 80s ) :
Jynx / Zubat / Alyce ( Swagmourne ) / Discord / Redtube
Disruption / Perplexity / Magejkdruid / Swagstormxqt ( Swagmobile )
Vinegar ~ Lvl 51 Rogue

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Mind blown at that 11k on the dummy without stacking ab you posted ero, I tryed recreating it just then and the only time I could get anywere near it was if i stacked ab and used all my cds, didnt even get near that 23k crit. so I was wondering did you slow the dummy? and did you use clones while attacking it?

According to my critline my mage had a 50k crit on AB once.
Although I believe that was on the twin Val'kyr with empowerment.
But then again, I can remember me doing 35k crits in icc25 fully buffed.
Don't know if this is supposed to happen, but I surely love my dps :)
