Please fix this ASAP Blizzard, it’s a huge DPS drop.
I wish we had a way to escalate this issue, by adding a tag or something. This is just sad having to build numbers in a forum in 2025 to get our talents literally showing red fixed.
Signature Spell and Shifting Shards both seem to work for me from some very basic testing, so this feels like a cosmetic issue only. Still annoying to see on the talent tree this long.
EDIT: If anyone wants to test, here’s a simple method to isolate Signature Spell’s splinter generation on the Kelpfist dummy in Dornogal:
- Cast Evocation
- Cast Touch of the Magi on the target
- Cast Arcane Barrage
- Cast Arcane Blast
- Cast Arcane Missiles, and note the six splinters that generate on the target shortly after you are done and the Spark explosion has occurred
There isn’t really any RNG to splinter generation so this was an easy test to execute. This order goes against everything you generally want to do in the DPS rotation but I did this in order to remove Nether Precision’s splinters from the equation. If you do the rotation priority properly instead, then you generate 10 splinters and will fire one Splinterstorm just with that combo.
You can likewise test Shifting Shards pretty easily by standing at range from the dummy, hitting it with any spell to get in combat, and then casting Shifting Power. You’ll see the splinters begin to accumulate on the target in combat.
