Spells not functioning

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report
1

Two scenarios of spells not functioning correctly.
Scenario 1:
Shadow priest silenced Mage
Paladin Stuns Mage with Hammer of Justice
Mage Blinks while still Silenced
(^ happened in AV.)

Scenario 2:
Paladin seal of Justice on Druid doesn’t slow down cheetah, or was that a BC thing?

Thanks for reading.

Sorry friend but this is just another bi-product of spell batching.

Under normal circumstances a mage should not be able to blink, or cast any spells while silenced.

The situation you describe likely all happened within ‘1 batch’ and that’s why it went through.

Terrible I know, but that’s the state of the game.

I drop grounding totem just before a caster finishes casting and the totem is ignored because it’s on the same batch, in order for it to work it must be dropped well ahead of the spell being finished casting. The same goes with spell interrupts.

A mage is still able to Ice Block during a silence, though.

I’ve definitely never been able to blink while stunned and silenced. If this is a true bug, it must be specific to that exact combo and I just never noticed.

Face it guys, they are never fixing this stuff. They update “known issues” and “not a bug list” recently and frequently. They don’t acknowledge a single problem caused by spell batching.

Thanks all for your input, but I wasn’t recording and didn’t take a screenshot of the mage blinking.

This interaction was present through TBC until the Wrath prepatch: Don’t throw away your steam tonks

blink no longer removes you from stun?

TBC thing.

Judgement of Justice is akin to Curse of Recklessness; you just made him immune to fear… GG now you can troll the warlocks and priests LOL.
