Posting here in the general forum since the bug report forum gets no attention from blizzard.
Rogue energy regeneration is very bugged.
When my rogue energy ticks, the energy
gained is supposed to be in increments of 20. This is how it behaved in vanilla.
However, oftentimes I will receive 21 energy regeneration versus 20. Also, if I use my opener ability right before an energy regeneration “tick”, my energy regeneration will almost always skip that tick and I won’t gain any energy; thereafter, the next “tick” will be 40 energy.
This bug is super annoying as an ambush rogue, because my combo is a quick ambush into a backstab (timing the 20 extra energy tick right). Instead, I ambush, sit there like an idiot for several seconds until I regain 40, or 41 energy. In PvP this allows a mage to say blink away, or a priest to fear, before I’m able to get a backstab off and is very annoying.
Energy regeneration should be 20, every time, no exceptions.
The current system is very bugged and NOT how it was in vanilla.
Is your forum strategy to keep claiming that every single thing you don’t like wasn’t this way in Vanilla, with the hope that eventually you’ll be right about something?
You’re probably getting confused by your Shadowcraft set bonus.
No, I’m not “confused” or complaining about something - I’m reporting a bug about my class that incidentally hurts my class. Rogue energy never regenerated +21. Retail doesn’t have rogue ticks at all so I imagine the issue stems with the port over.
If anything, the part of the bug where I am gaining an extra energy every other tick buffs my class quite a bit.
Energy was on a ticking system in vanilla. You would gain no energy for two seconds, then gain 20 energy. Every two seconds you would gain 20 energy. So, it is a sizable lump of energy gained every couple seconds.
In either BC or Wrath (can’t remember exactly which expansion), it was changed to a constantly refilling system.
Instead of gaining 20 energy every two seconds, you would gain 1 energy every 100 milliseconds or something like that. It equals the same energy regen, but it is more steady and consistent.
The shadowcraft and stormshroud set bonuses are 35 and 30 energy chance on melee attack. They’re not easy to confuse vs the standard energy refresh that if you even play a rogue as an alt become very in tune with.
I don’t see anywhere in the video where he skips a +20 energy tick and I instead gets a +40 energy tick, do you? Because this happens all the time in Classic.
