Divine Storm Visual Bug [WotLK]

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report

Divine Storm has not had the correct animation since the launch of Classic WotLK. Previously, I have been saying that the animation for the spell we have is the MoP animation.

I did a side-by-side of the live, WotLK Classic visual, and the old, Cataclysm visual, Version 4.3.4 (15595), which is the original WotLK visual.

The animation appears to actually just be missing 1 of 2 spell visual effects that occur simultaneously. The missing other part contains the textures that make the spell effect linger with some awesome lightning for around 3-4 seconds.

Watch the rune that flashes above my character in the first video:

Notice the 2 runes that flash above my character in the Cataclysm client’s:

I remember during the Isle of Conquest PTR testing, I was in a group with Aggrend, when someone asked about this problem. Aggrend replies with something along the lines of, “Divine Storm can’t use the MoP version, those assets don’t even exist in the game” in BG chat

Yeah, I was the guy who asked him about it. I asked another GM about that and many other spells being the incorrect animations, and they said it was a known issue. But I think it’s not widely talked about by players, so please let people know :slight_smile:
