Since the most recent patch where dot munching was fixed, it appears that casting Polymorph with Glyph of Polymorph on a target with Ignite running will not remove ignite and thus break the polymorph. Glyph of Polymorph should be removing all damage over time effects from the target, however, that is no longer occurring with ignite. This is causing game-breaking issues in arena where the polymorph CC is instantly breaking despite using the glyph.
To replicate:
- Cast on a target until Ignite procs
- Immediately cast polymorph while using glyph of polymorph on the same target
This does not seem to be affecting other dots from our testing and the glyph successfully does remove them.

Fire mage here who only pvpās.
This issue is very noticeable after casting Dragonās Breath into a Polymorph, as ignite last as long as the Dragonās Breathās stun. Like OP said, does not appear to affect other dots outside of Ignite.
Ignite is procced when the mage lands a critical strike with fire spells, therefore it is a randomly & commonly applied debuff that the mage has no control over when the debuff is applied. This renders the Glyph of Polymorph critical in the success of some matches.

Still an ongoing issue, Poly is breaking due to ignite despite having Glyph of Polymorph. Bump.
It seems to be more than just Ignite. All of the new ānon-munchingā debuffs will not be removed on Polymorph. Deep Wounds, Ignite, and Piercing shots.
Thanks for the report. This is has had eyes on it and is being looked into further.

Polymorph also breaks seemingly at random. I noticed in a 2v2 match today, when I polymorphed a holy paladin who was ~30 yards away with no debuffs present. Polymorph broke after one tic, so I recast it (while yelling at my twos partner āDID YOU SEE THAT?ā) and then it immediately broke again, once more, with no debuffs present.
I donāt have a recording software, but it was a very obvious incident. I feel it would be easily replicated via multiple polymorph test within an arena setting.
Worth noting, I havenāt noticed any premature endings to polymorph (either at random or from ignite despite having the Glyph of Polymorph) until after the most recent patch.
So itās consistent?
Yeah the Ignite one is known because that spell got changed. But strange Poly would break randomly.
Can confirm poly will randomly break early even on my baby mage without Ignite.
I think Iām remembering this was a thing in vanilla, but that itās happening now isnāt normal from what Iām remembering.
Heartbeat resists have been a thing since vanilla, and are still in Wrath, but were explicitly removed from Arenas in Wrath Classic to reduce the RNG a bit. Mumeiko mentioned it was in 2v2, so that would be a bug, but seeing it in other places might not be. Just something to keep in mind.

Ignite is consistently breaking polymorph still, but the other issue Iāve only had happen in a single match.

Any way you could post on a GM account instead of a player account? I appreciate this being looked into immensely as a PvP guy, but having it known that blues are reading and commenting on bug reports would do wonder for optics. I personally thought this bug would be completely ignored until S8, and this gives me hope. Thanks

I donāt have a blue name account and not a GM or community - Iām QA so I just want to personally let you know it was being looked into.

Thank you so much! My 2ās partner and I only PvP so this is a huge issue for us while trying to push rating, and Iām assuming lots of other players as well. Appreciate it!
