Can we get an update on this please? Ret Paladin are already low enough dps, not being able to use Consecration hurts.
I think the issue with Rain of Fire and Blizzard is that they are both channelled spells. You would need Flamestrike or one of those engineering items that leaves a damaging patch on the ground to see if it is treated the same I think.
still no response? wtf blizz
The communication sucks but the devs are probably going full steam on Shadowlands now.
So no confirmation still on this topic?
umâŚ

Dude. The question is asked and then literally answered in the OP itself. Enough.
Dude. Not by Blizzard
Heroic Strike bug says hold my beer.
Does it even matter if Blizzard confirms itâs not a bug? People donât believe them about Leeway, Spell Batching; Cone of Cold and numerous other things theyâve confirmed arenât bugs. Will a confirmation of this be any different?
yes given the fact that they not only confirmed the heroic strike bug, but are letting it remain in the game - and will most likely do the same with the Diamond Flask trinket snapshot and scaling with healing report I just posted
Just so you know Forum Moderator - we wouldnât have to spam this thread if we actually got an answer and didnât have to wait four monthsâŚ
Perhaps you could send in internal message to the devs and ask them to at least confirm or deny this bug report because quite frankly, every single Ret Paladin is tired AF waiting
likewise with this report
and this one as well
Yes, those spells do take a debuff slot.
interesting find. fixed yet?
lol noâŚ
Classic Devs/QA performance thus far on this bug report:
good stuff. keep it up.
yay it only gets betterâŚ

So we did some tests with @Smeet last night and it appears that Consecration ticks are definitely subject to a spell miss check per tick, as vs lvl 53 mobs he missed ~1.5% of his ticks inexplicably, which looks like statistical margin of error on the built in minimum 1% spell miss
There also appears to be some spell batching bs going on if you cast Consecrate on CD, as sometimes the last tick of your previous cast be batched AFTER you have cast your new Consecrate, and you essentially lose a tick from the previous or current cast

oh lovely

We still need to do some research on that, but even THAT does not explain why weâre saying so many missed ticks in raids. Casting Cons on CD resulted in ~3.3% tick loss, so 1.8% more than the 1.5% he was losing due to the base spell miss
PrideToday at 10:13 AM
If the spell miss per tick thing is true, we should be getting 6.64 ticks per cast vs bosses, but a lot of logs seemed to be closer to 5.4-6 ticks per cast
If you guys could go over your own logs, click yourself as source, Summary -> Events, filter to only encounters and hitting the boss, then use this filter expression - ability.name = âConsecrationâ
You can count âX casts Consecrationâ events and âConsecration [Target] Tick [Damage / Resist]â events (Ctrl F works too :p) and just remove the last instance of casts and the subsequent ticks since you probably lost ticks due to the boss dying
Then divide ticks / casts, we can get a better picture of real world performance
Batch clipping should not be able to account for 1-1.5 ticks per cast loss, thatâs 12.5% to 18.75%, it was only an extra 1.8% on the level 53 mob
Please fix this Blizzard
Blizz any news on fixing this?
