Hey fellow Mages.
I stumbled upon a nice trick about 3 weeks ago when I finally got 4 set t10 on my Mage after not being able to raid on it for a while, due to my guild lacking healers.
So I use the in-game Equipment Manager, and being a Mage I barely have to switch my gear setup, so my PvE gear setup thingy was pretty outdated one day still using t9 2 set (increased crit% from spirit, more regen and more armour and resistance from the Armors). So I equipped the armor set and buffed Molten Armor, and noticed I was wearing T9 so I swapped it for my t10 obviously, with the character page still open I rebuffed Molten Armor and noticed my crit went down, due to the fact I have lost the t9 2 set bonus.
So I was wondering, is this a well known thing? to get a bit more crit % just by switching gear for 2 secs.

If you know the bug and you don't report it (or choose to stfu so that they don't notice) you're just as bad as exploiters. Originally Posted by Laadeeda

Lighten up flame, its a marginal boost (1.5-2% more crit). Last time I checked we were talking about a video game, it isn't 'srsbznz'.
Its like in Super Metroid where you can wall jump to get the wave beam about an hour before you're really supposed to get it.Mannoroth-US

I never thought about this, though I'm already using the 2 set bonus from T9 so didn't need to.
Cake!

Meeeehhh yeah I guess not. I don't think it's really a desired mechanic either, though. Originally Posted by Swizzle

Double dipping of partial resists for ignite is a design flaw though when they won't allow it to double dip on buffs and talents. Originally Posted by Swizzle

ignite being partially resisted isn't a bug, though i haven't seen it double dip into resistance.
total ignite damage: 10808308
total ignite resists: 617111
dunno if that proves anything though. but partial resists are definitely not a bug.BfA Beta Time

I didn't say bug, I said a design flaw which might not be the correct word. Originally Posted by Swizzle

Once when you original spell crits and a 2nd time when ignite ticks which makes ignite ticks less than the 40%.
The whole thing is a bit unfair because ignite doesn't benefit twice from positive effects.
but blizz says it's working as intendedIt's the internet. You never know if people are either sarcastic or just bad.

That same concept in reverse is also why fire is so ludicrous in ICC 25 because ignite double dips with the raid wide Damage buff. Originally Posted by takolin

Hey this is a new interesting bug which isn't pointed out on a weekly basis.
(Sorry, but I am incredibly tired of seeing this bug posted about all the time.)
