New bug with the void ray

General Discussion
1

Void ray with prismatic alignment and flux vanes is slower than without the upgrade

2

If the Void Ray is moving at 2.625 (1.875 in normal speed) during Prismatic Alignment then it is working as intended. Flux Vanes is not supposed to change the Prismatic Alignment speed.

If the Void Ray moves slower than those values after the upgrade, then this is a real bug that needs to be addressed.

Just checked. Void ray during prismatic alignment without flux vanes: 3.85-0.96=2.89. Void ray during prismatic alignment with flux vanes 4.65-2.03=2.62. I even made 1 high templar(2.62) to see if this isn’t just an visual bug. Nope, the void ray was faster than the high templar.

Apparently things were thrown off in patch 5.0.2:

  • Originally, Void Rays had a base speed of 3.5.
  • Prismatic Alignment was intended to slow down Void Rays to 2.625. This is listed as a 25% reduction in the description.
  • When Flux Vanes was reintroduced, Blizzard specified that the Void Ray’s speed was to remain at 2.625 during Prismatic Alignment despite the upgrade.
  • Void Rays received a 10% movement speed buff before Flux Vanes in patch 5.0.2. This threw things off because the Void Ray’s Prismatic Alignment behavior was not updated to account for that change.

Based on the patch notes, it appears that the bug is the extra Prismatic Alignment speed before the upgrade, not the speed after the upgrade. However, this will require clarification from Blizzard.

At this point, who can interpret what the people of blizzard do? I don’t even think they know what are they doing

Reported under Bug section since it is probably a better place for Devs to identify without being swarmed in balance whines
