PTR note - Wake and Radiant Glory

I saw a note on the PTR patch that said the following.

Fixed an issue causing Wake of Ashes to not benefit from Avenging Wrath when it activates Radiant Glory.

Ghosts of K’aresh Development Notes

With hotfixes that will be deployed over the next few days, we will be making the following class adjustments on the Ghosts of K’aresh PTR: Death Knight Hero Talents Deathbringer Frost Wave of Souls critical strikes now increase the Shadowfrost damage the target takes by 3% per stack (was 5%). Swift and Painful now increases Strength by 5% for 8 seconds when no enemies are struck by Soul Rupture (was 10%). Swift and Painful now causes Wave of Souls to be 50% more effective on its main targe…

I was always under the impression that Radiant Glory defacto meant Wake wasn’t affected by Wings anymore, as some sort of trade.

Was that not the case?
Was it always affected and it was bugged on the PTR?
Or was it bugged since S1 and we only just got a fix for it?

We’ve been using Crusade so it’s not like 3% goes a long way but that might have hindered Might if it didn’t affect it.

From what I can tell on Live, Wings damage amp is not applied on Wake.

Exactly, it’s always been bugged! And they’ve never fixed it until now in PTR… in my opinion, they created RG and implemented it “well” along with Crusade and deliberately left out any other talent that wasn’t in the devs’ sights, namely AW.

From these bug fixes, I suspect the devs are planning on bringing AW back (otherwise they wouldn’t waste their time… look at poor TS, which is constantly ignored, along with How…)

P.S. Just think, they only recently fixed the fact that AW + RG also correctly granted the 20% damage increase… previously, activating RG meant not having the 20% damage boost, but only the crit, due to a bug… fixed at the end of Season 2, I think in 11.1.7.

Yup, its been bugged the whole time. In theory AW boosting Wake while Crusade didn’t (no stacks yet) would have been what balanced the two choices out.

It certainly would be interesting to play crit wings for a change, though the short duration is a bit meh

They actually had to fix it so the 5 stacks of Crusade that HoL generated benefited HoL’s dmg.

[Benmarch-zuljin]

That I knew of and that’s another reason why Crusade is better.

If we had to stack Crusade before using HoL, it would be cumbersome enough to probably just use Might.
