Affliction
Grim Inquisitor’s Regalia 2-piece set bonus now properly increases the duration of Unstable Affliction by 2 seconds.
Struggling to see what the net result of this is, as UA ticks are fixed.
UA is base 4 ticks fixed before anyone starts the argument of partial ticks, it doesn't work like that. You cast 1 UA it hits the dummy 4 times, you cast 5 UAs they will hit the dummy a total of 20 times, go do it its a fact, no partial ticks, all haste does is reduce the time those 4 ticks happen dynamically ergo why haste procs like whispers were so fucking good!! Right now thats out of the way....
When the 2p procs on 1 UA on the target the result is 6 ticks, tested this morning. The problem arises when you get multiple procs on that same UA. Now it took me a while due to rng and i had to reset recount everytime waiting on this, but on 5 occasions the 2p procced twice during the duration of 1 UA the resultant ticks were only 7, where they should be 8?
Now i did this with 28% haste and then put on as much haste gear as i could and still maintain the bonus so got to 42% and still exactly the same thing the only difference between the two is that the base duration of my UA changes from 6.1s to 5.7s.
So basically what the fuck is going on here under the hood? Is the 2p proc itself separate and obeys the logic of partial ticks, if so i would have expected it to push it to eight by adding 14% static haste to my gear but it doesn't?
What was it doing before this hotfix? adding 1 tick? or 2?
So many questions now arising from this as the 2p is very powerful!
