Frozen Orb Bug

Unread postby Texhex Thu Mar 30, 2017 6:35 am

Anyone else since the patch has the problem with frozen orb often just flying through enemies and bosses and as a result just disappearing?
its pretty annoying.

basically alot of moving aoe effects are bugged, the ones from bosses aswell (like elisande orbs oneshotting people that are miles away)

Are you sure its bugged? Cus the tooltip is as follows:

"Launches an orb of swirling ice up to 40 yards forward which deals up to [20 * (26.3% of Spell power)] Frost damage to all enemies it passes through. Grants 1 charge of Fingers of Frost when it first damages an enemy.

Enemies damaged by the Frost Orb are slowed by 50% for 15 sec."

Which is for me 100% what it does, it passes through enemies and grants FoF procs, now rather than stay at the location of the first target hit? Perhaps it is a bug, but i havent seen it standing still once since 7.2 hit, so i just asumed the tooltip was changed and so was the functionality of the spell, but i might be wrong?

This pissed me off so much. It doesn't have on every boss or situation, but on chronomatic I popped all CD's..orbed and it went flying through the boss at 500mph all the way to the other side of the room. Trilliax normally if u orb before he starts beaming it stops at him..not this time..flying through him at 500 mph through the wall behind him. Rip parse

Cinderstorm deals 0 damage, Divine Storm doesn't apply its moving AoE, Chi Burst doesn't work, etc.

Patch woes.

Were you riding the Rat Mount (Pack Rat achievement) ?

If yes, that's old. The Rat Mount causes all sorts of issues (can't cast meteor, cinderstorm shoots straight up)

I did the first 4 bosses on Mythic last night Skorp and Krosus worked just fine but on Chrono and Trilliax it either flew right through everything (still getting a couple ticks) or it stopped 5 yards from me and slowly moved forward never actually hitting the target.

There was also trash that had this problem, i.e. the 3 eredar before Krosus

Interesting, wednesday everything workid fine for me, but on thursday FO broke and just flew throuth things.
or it stopped 5 yards from me and slowly moved forward never actually hitting the target.
But more interestingly, I had this issue a lot of times before the patch, in 7.1.5. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Oh, I was. I usually play fire so I didn't know about that bug.
