Hello,
This bug with Codex has been reported on the Wowhead post last patch and I can personally confirm it still exists today. Wowhead page: https://www.wowhead.com/item=185836/codex-of-the-first-technique?bonus=6805#comments
A simple misclick or a tab target to a mob on the opposite side of the dungeon with the buff active will almost always immediately aggro the mob regardless of range.
The trinket shouldn’t be able to reflect damage to an entity you are not in combat with.
I hope this bug gets fixed too. Codex of the First Technique is an awesome trinket, and the bug makes it unsuitable for M+ which is sad.
Just bumping this – can confirm this is still happening as of yesterday.
It makes it impossible to CC your target as well even if they’re not anywhere near you. I cast Paralyze on something and it breaks right away because of the constant ticks for 20 damage on my target.
Bumping this. I know fixing bugs doesn’t make blizzard money but this is still an issue.
big bump, just screwed me out of a 20 pulling breaking para
Has this bug been fixed (in an undocumented manner)? I have not been able to replicate this bug recently. [Riposte of the First Technique] seems to hit only the attackers now.
yes it’s still doing it.
Sad. Maybe reduce the range of [Riposte of the First Technique] to 8 yards?
Bumping, still happening as of last night.
This bug still exists. The [Riposte of the First Technique] pulling random mobs from up to 100 yards away is absurdly buggy and broken.
Bumpity Bump.
this bug still exists.
Oh, for some reason my mage was chosen as my toon? odd.
