Aggro after wipe bug with Frost mages

There is a bug that occurs sometimes when in Mythic plus that I cant really replicate but according to my mythic plus team it only occurs when they run with me.

Sometimes after a full wipe when I rez all of the mobs re-aggro to me sometimes snapping, sometimes pulling everything and killing all of us again. When it first happened I thought maybe frost orb or something ticked after I rez’d and re aggroed but recently Ive stayed dead waiting for corruption or any aoe abilities to end and for the trash mobs to full reset and they still aggroed to me right after I rez.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Here’s a clip from it happening in raid: clips.twitch[.]tv/ElatedHelpfulMagpieFrankerZ

Game just hates you?

I’ve never heard of this anywhere.

This works better, BTW:

Interesting, I’ve had this issue while out doing dailies or quests in the world. Haven’t done much dungeons yet though so I don’t know there (recently came back to the game).

I thought I was crazy! lol

Although I have no idea what it was. If it happens, it’s when I’m frost and die out in the world. I’ll Rez, and suddenly mobs I’m nowhere near re-aggro on me.

Now I’m wondering if it is a bug of some kind… :thinking:

Now that you mention it, I’ve also had this happen a few times.

I haven’t played frost in a while, and definitely haven’t had this issue ever as fire.

But that is odd. I rewatched the clip at least 10 times, and can’t tell what caused it.

Game definitely hates you.

I’ve had this happen a few times in M+ dungeons and once in raid. Pretty wild and no idea what causes it.

just as a quick question, is it possibly the elemental? If you rez while it’s in mid-cast, the water bolt could go out and then when the elemental vanishes, aggro transfers to you. I know it’s happened to me a few times too.

I have had this happen to me while trying to lvl in dungeons

Definitely happened to me more than a couple of times.

This can happen with any persisting effect if you release while your group is still in combat, and they wipe after you’ve released. DoTs, Flame Patch, Orb/Blizzard, whatever effect it happens to be.

I have run into this problem multiple times in AD and KR. Like at least three times in each dungeon. In two of the runs it kept happening over and over so we just reset the key. I can’t remember it happening in other dungeons but it might have.

Last week was really buggy for M+. Had three 15 keys ruined due to crap like this.

Edit: Just watched your clip and have had a very similarly thing happen to me in Ny’alotha as well. I never thought it was a spec issue, just assumed it a random bug. Now I’m intrigued.

I have been having this issue all expansion…
I tried for months to get Blizzard to look into it, they said they could never repro this issue. I finally gave up with them.

Pretty much the same I cant replicate it. Other than I think casting frozen orb before death has something to do with it. But in every situation I dont release until everything is gone and the mobs full reset and they still snap to me.

This is STILL happening on Shadowlands beta in M+. Had it happen in at least 4 different dungeons so far. I’ve tried not casting arcane intellect, doesn’t matter. Mobs still just teleport to me, kill me and runaway.

we raided 2 days ago 3 frost mages and wiped around 5-6 times and never happened (we wiped on bosses tho ) probably the bug only works on trash ?

Yeah I’ve only had it happen on trash. Played all of BFA as fire, swapped to frost in pre patch and it happened very quickly in a freehold. I can’t replicate it consistently to find the issue. Tried not casting arcane brilliance, waiting to release etc.

I had it happen a lot in end of bfa when I was specced into glacial spike. I just now realized it hasn’t happened since the new build. Not sure it’s just that trait, but that’s the only thing that’s changed. I used to think it was due to frozen orb. Same thing, I decided to lay there for a minute. Soon as a stood, instant aggro. That has not happened at all with the new build however

Yep ive had this bug as frost all through bfa for trash in raid and M+ hasnt happened on beta for SL yet, its definitely a weird one. Its not orb, pet or anything. The mobs can completely reset and it can still happen. Its also happened in the ice lance build for me.

What about lonely winter vs pet? I haven’t had a pet since pre patch.

Other thought was how icicles fire. Since they aren’t cast, maybe they sit in the air waiting for you to stand?
