Title: Arcane Blast deals no damage to any units — occurs intermittently across all spell ranks
Game: Warcraft Rumble
Category: Spell / Combat Bug
Encounter: Heroic Ragnaros
Description:
Arcane Blast intermittently deals zero damage to all units when cast, regardless of spell rank (Rank 1, 2, 3, or 4). The spell animation appears to play normally, but no damage is applied to any enemy unit. This is not a targeting issue — the spell fires and visually resolves, but the damage simply does not register.
Army Composition:
-
Hero: Sneed (Epic, Level 28) — Talent: Lead with Greed
-
Dark Iron Miner (Rare, Level 22) — Talent: Gold Mine
-
Bat Rider (Epic, Level 24) — Talent: Flaming Pitch
-
Gargoyle (Epic, Level 24) — Talent: Wing Buffet
-
Whelp Eggs (Epic, Level 24) — Talent: Flame Burst
-
Meat Wagon (Rare, Level 22) — Talent: Filet Trebuchet
-
Arcane Blast (Uncommon, Level 20) — Talent: Torrent (Gain a level after casting Rank 3)
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Build the army listed above with Arcane Blast equipped with the Torrent talent.
-
Play a standard PvP or PvE match.
-
Cast Arcane Blast during combat at any rank.
-
Observe intermittently that the spell fires but deals 0 damage to any unit present.
Expected Behavior:
Arcane Blast should deal its full damage value to units within its area of effect every time it is cast.
Actual Behavior:
Arcane Blast occasionally deals no damage at all — no units take any damage despite the spell visually resolving. This occurs across all ranks of the spell, not just Rank 3.
Frequency: Intermittent — does not happen every game, but occurs consistently enough across multiple matches to be noticeable.
Platform: PC
