a LOT of things got broken with this crappy port and it’s batching. No idea why they don’t seem to care.
Bump because more mages need to respond here
Yeah I just submitted my own report before seeing this, it’s 100% reproduce-able as you say, and it 100% didn’t work like this in vanilla.
It’s become very obvious with AV out, but is a large detriment to aoe farming as well.
IT’S BROKEN!
Correct, but in AV is where it hurts the most. Alliance can literally mount up and run right into the keep without ever getting hit by a single blizzard. The only chance of blizzard proccing is if someone else snares them first, either with hunter trap or frost nova. However, frost nova is generally useless against a 500 yard train of 40 alliance. I might be able to stop the first 3 players but the other 37 just ride right through blizzard.
You apparently have to drop your blizzard some seconds before the alliance come up through it and then spam spam spam it.
NOT how it was in Vanilla.
This backport is 
No I’m casting well before they show up, they ride right through it, as was said earlier, someone else has to snare them first to slow them, the first tick is ignored.
Incredible… how did this get past beta?
Oh wait. . .
dude 98% of the problems with spells is because of this horrific thing called SPELL BATCHING
Blizzard’s new fake spell batching system.
^Truth right here.
Blizzard please fix this, it has COMPLETELY RUINED AV for mages.
