Hidden FDCL nerf for shadow or just a bug

[Twintop]

I sent him off a message on Twitter but it is probably wise to bring this up on the official forums as well.

Seems almost like it's only proccing from mastery procs, and not actual ticks. The amount it has declined to is close to the amount of mastery ticks I have.

Probably just a bug.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you want to figure out if something is wrong, firstly, do a much larger sample size. The bigger the better. Secondly, do at least two different tests, one with one target, and one with multiple targets.

This is exactly what I've been preaching. I've done multiple tests along with the OP and other posters in the thread. Something is going on with FDCL.

I don't think there is anything extraordinary about blizzard breaking another priest mechanic, especially relating to our mastery. How many times have they changed the value of some kind of dot and forgot to update mastery procs as well? Mind sear twice, dp on ptr, any others? Sloppy programming with 2 separate damage methods rather than just invoking the main one? I dunno. Anyway its not like we are claiming aliens or anything. 15% * your mastery % vs 15% like it should be. Not rocket science. Hope its fixed before week 2 hotfixes !

There was a thread on the Official PTR Bugs forum about this. I chimed in and encourage others to do so as well with the results of your own test runs (# or casts, # of mastery ticks, # of FDCL procs) to bring some visibility to this bug.

Any update on this bug? I haven't been on the PTR for a little while.

5.2 in one day and the bug is still there.

seriously? Fuck.....

[HeroZero]

Well shit, this is most vexing. I just wonder how it got broken...

[Martinussen]

They already fucked with our dps in movement heavy fights by nerfing the MSpike glyph, and now a borked talent for multidot/movement fights? Fuck it, i might aswell just reroll mage or warlock this expansion....

When the day blizzard implements gender pets... the day warlocks get incubus..

that day will be the reason to reroll....



tis glorious it will be

On Live, proc rate for FDCL is still pretty awful.

[Volitar]

I hope this is a bug. Ninja gutting a talent isn't cool Blizzard..

I checked the 5.2 known bugs forums to see if it was listed and it wasn't. I did find this though:

Guardian Spirit sometimes does not proc its heal and lifesaving effect.

Oh and cannot forget the all important:

Blood Elf females sway too much when walking backwards while performing actions.

So hopefully those get fixed and FDCL is listed soon. I also would like to know what is up with the PWS tooltips.

From what I can tell from GC's twitter, FDCL is 15% but throttled by a 1s internal cooldown. If anyone that's good at WoW math can do that translation, it probably works out to around 5%. GC has always had a hate on for shadow priests.

This has been fixed for at least a month without any ICD (there was one, but it has been removed). No need to necro the thread.
