Slice of Winds bug? Anyone else having this issue?

I think so but I don’t quite recall, I never liked when it was part of the “rotation” (chi burst, double torp, xplos)

Chi Torpedo doing damage
:face_vomiting:

Forgot all about that

Actually kinda crazy how similar DH and Monks were back in the day

Victory roll in timewalking owned

Still no fix…

Thanks for bumping this, now I know this vital piece of information and can ruin the day of yet another melee spec.

You don’t realize how much WW relies on slice of winds damage until it gets taken away. Luckily I only had it happen in one lobby but it was brutal. Oddly enough it was the first lobby I tried “charging” it to go a little further to prevent some misses I had in the past. At first I thought it was just because I was exposing myself to getting cc’d in the casting window longer but after never doing that again and paying special attention to the cast and any cc I am hit with during it afterwards I noticed I’d get cc’d on it quite often but it would never bug out as long as I didn’t charge it at all. Maybe a fluke so far but something worth a try for anyone experiencing this a lot.

Had this happen to me a handful of times. Have to completely restart the game to fix it. Definitely lost some matches. People at 5% hp go to slicing and nothing

I have never had this bug but I do think it’s bs that it goes on cd if you get cced while using it. It should have cc protection.

I’m pretty sure the new arms warrior ability does.

I don’t use slicing wind and I would say my dmg is just fine

Nice. I feel like you’d have to do even more damage with it though, no? I played with and without it and it feels like such massive difference to me but then again this is like the first time I’ve played WW in a couple years.

It’s been a known bug since the ability was released at the beginning of the season. /reload does not help, you have to restart the game. If you’re in shuffle you’ll have to swap the talent and then restart the game after the match ends. It’s annoying and has been reported often by many ww (seen often on the monk discord) but no fix to date

Ya, we love the big dam fortnite button.

Depends, because you do lose quite a lot of your mobility with losing fsk.
In a PVE standpoint I can see how slicing wind can be strong in that regard.
But I feel having higher up time is better.
I can also switch targets at speed or run easier with it too.

It’s utilities too great to simply replace it for a lackluster [read incredibly buggy] damage ability.

Happened to me on my Monk as well.

Can’t believe Blizzard still not fixing this bug
I found that happen whenever I use Slice of Winds when I get rooted
I need to relog to fix this bug everytime
Sometimes I play solo shuffle I got this bug in first round and it competly ruined 6 rounds because I couldn’t relog until I finished 6 rounds

Just don’t use the god awful spell and profit

I get this approx. 1 out of every 10 arena matches. Feels like its been happening for quite some time now. At least a few months. Depressing when it occurs because of the amount of DMG and mobility slicing winds can do. When this happens to me during arena, it really discourages further pushing. Hoping for a fix soon. Cause the only fix is me restarting entire game. /Reload doesn’t work.
