Hello all,
I know most people don’t play or care much about the old raids, but we have a group working our way up through stuff for the first time and have come up against this guy in at the end of Naxx. All the guides say that he’s not supposed to Frost Blast the tank, but we’re having our tank Frost Blast literally every single blast. Does anyone know if this is a change or if it’s gotten bugged in some patch? We’re also getting 2 people Frost Blasted in 10 man on each Blast instead of one as the guides say.
Anyhow…just curious…we’ve moved to 3 healers and still run out of mana half way through because so many cooldowns have to be blown on every Frost Blast.
Thanks…just curious…
Are you sure melee are not chaining the blast mechanic onto the tank? It has a 10 yard radius that chains so if Melee A is targeted and he is 15 yards from the tank but Melee B is 8 yards from him and 8 yards from the tank then it will chain onto the tank… iirc melee stacked in 2 locations 10 yards away from the tank and if a group got targeted you just bomb healed them during the 4 seconds.
This^ Form a triangle, Tank and 2 melee groups. Have them stack tightly so they don’t chain it to the tank.
Yeah…sorry…was waiting for this weeks raid to see. It is the tank and only the tank getting hit…and one other elsewhere in the room. Everyone is 10 yards apart…and again this week the tank gets frozen on every blast, and one other person randomly. Something has to be bugged.
Just out of curiosity what class is your tank… also open a bug report. You aren’t crazy, this should not be happening.
We’ve been switching…Pally and DK. When the tank gets frost blasted we’re having the other tank taunt to alleviate some of the pressure. But the guides also say only 1 person is supposed to get frozen, and we have 2 people…always tank and one other. However, we discovered another whacked thing on this bug…the tank is frozen for damage purposes but can still use abilities. So as a pally I can stand there and flash of light while frozen…so weird.
Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely a bug, the reason i asked about what class tank, is that it could be possible that the ability doesn’t see a Brewmaster as a tank matched to the spell ID. I would have to dig further to see if the spell was coded to bypass “aggro” target or it was coded to scan for “Tank specializations” when it is cast.
Good luck and hopefully Blizz will respond or act on the bug report.
Blizzard didn’t introduce the specialization-based targeting until Cata, after Naxx came and went. Unless they’ve changed something, it should be aggro based.
