Fel Rush not... rushing

So, what keep happening is I’ll Fel Rush, use a charge doing so, and just… nothing happens. Alternatively, I’ll go like a quarter of the distance. I can’t remember the last time I Fel Rushed properly. Is this a bug… were we nerfed… is this changing soon?

I would like to apologize if this has been said before, or if this is the wrong place to post this.

The interactions of player movement abilities and the physical structure of the game world have been difficult since the dawn of WoW. Go ask the Mages about Blink or the Warriors about Charge. Boss rooms are typically flat and unobstructed planes precisely so that players don’t get stuck on walls or bosses get caught on terrain and Evade.

That said, one trick I often use when out and about in the cluttered game world is to double jump first, then Fel Rush. That bit of elevation will usually give me an unobstructed dash without getting hung up on a crack in the floor.

The thing is though, it’s not obstruction. I’ve been in the middle of the air gliding off a cliff and fel rush to go farther and it just stops me.

Sorry, for some reason it switched to an alt without me noticing.

Oddly enough, fel rush worked pretty dang well when it wasn’t on the GCD… Since 8.0 I’ve had all sorts of problems with it working properly.

Honestly, yeah it feels like something broke in 8.0.
In legion i never had any real issues with fel rush; yes there was the ocassional fel rush 200 yds and completely miss what you were aiming for, or fel rush and get stuck on a crack, but somehow still hit the thing 20yds in front of you without moving. But those aren’t real issues that bother me.

What does bother me, is that i can be gliding, and i’ll fel rush to move a bit further, and after the fel rush i’ll glide STRAIGHT DOWN, with no forward momentum at all. Or that i’ll be on the ground and fel rush on completely flat ground, and i’ll hear it, but my character doesn’t move anywhere at all, and i lose a charge.

I never had these issues in Legion, but in BFA it’s nearly impossible to glide anywhere, because you get 10-20ft away, and just fall to the ground.

I know this is an old thread, but I am opening it as today I received the same issue. All throughout BFA I did not have this problem, but as soon as I hit 40 corruption and got the visual effect on my character fel rush stopped working properly.

Out of 15 casts it went off 3 times and actually moved me. The other times made the sfx noise, went on cooldown, but did not move me. I am not lagging, as other abilities work fine.

I also noticed that when used in the air, if I get this bug, my character stops and immediately falls straight down without the ability to re-glide.

Has been fixed yet?

No.

I also feel like fel rush travels more distance on average after single jumping instead of double jumping or not jumping at all. Probably anecdotal but still feels that way.

still happening for me, only 2/20 fel rushes actually do anything. Kinda a core part of the feel for the spec, feels really terrible to play. the weapons glow, I hear a noise, but I dont move at all, and i deal zero damage.

Threads arise, bump and type. Bring victory at last to this fallen write.

So much necromancy here. But this is similar to dc with eye beam cast, it won’t be fixed probably ever.

I just had this issue today when I switched back into havoc spec after running tank spec for like forever (friend’s group needed dps, not entirely relevant but idk) Half the time I hit fel rush, it did absolutely nothing but consumed a charge anyway. Glad to know there’s been previous issues with this.
