Unable to generate holy power (ret)

Rautha-stonemaul · January 4, 2019, 7:34am

has any ret pallys had this issue?

I think i left my computer running wow overnight without a restart so I suspect a memory leak or caching error but I want to be sure it DOES NOT happen again as my palladin is my mythic raiding character (not acceptable on any character really)

here’s what is happening: my HP generating abilities are doing damage the animation is going off but will not generate holy power. when the mob finally dies i am granted 5 holy power.

this seems odd I don’t know exactly what is happening my side or server side. Obvsiously the server is registering the damage as far as i can tell my blade of wrath and everything is doing damage and wake of ashes but will not register the holy power.

This is not just a graphical or display error as I am UNABLE to cast templar’s verdict.

So far a computer restart has fixed it but so did a spec swap but it still came back.

I will post updates but I am reposting in the bug report and I have an open ticket.

very strange issue.

any player experience or help is appreciated.

edit

oh yes and I have disabled all addons and restarted wow and battle net. that did not fix it only swapping specs temporarily and also restarting computer so far.

I have had something similar where I can use all spells except ones that cost holy power. I usually finish killing whatever I’m fighting then re-log and it seems to fix itself.

I’ve had this once. I thought it was just weird lag. I was still using abilities without problem, and they were coming off of CD like normal, I just wasn’t getting HP for it.

Last night I was getting Holy Power after a 10-20 second delay, it was quite strange and I’d assume that it’s more of a connection problem.

Happened with my rogue the other day so u could eliminate it just being a pally thing atleast

Klowdywilde-area-52 · January 4, 2019, 3:21pm

It must be a combo point thing, then. Anyone with a monk notice this yet?

Griefs-emerald-dream · January 4, 2019, 5:20pm

Happened twice on my druid in Darkshore. Couldn’t generate combo points and couldn’t switch forms. Was last week

Klowdywilde-area-52 · January 4, 2019, 5:22pm

Lol, forgot about druid combo points. It seems to be a problem with our special resource.

Entrerri-proudmoore · January 4, 2019, 7:18pm

Last night for about 30 minutes I couldn’t generate combo points on my monk. Tiger palm worked, but I wasn’t getting combo points… After logging on something else, then coming back, finally started working normally.

Klowdywilde-area-52 · January 4, 2019, 7:26pm

That’s how it was on my pally. I was able to use attacks, but there was a delay so long, I wasn’t getting HP until after the fight was over, which took even longer without the ability that makes up half of my damage. I relogged, and everything was fine.

Caperx-zuljin · January 5, 2019, 12:29am

its happening to me right now same exact issue abilities are going on cd appear to be going off but not generating holy power please blizz help

Caperx-zuljin · January 5, 2019, 12:30am

i relogged and its still happening

Klowdywilde-area-52 · January 5, 2019, 12:47am

I would make a bug report, and mention there is a thread talking about all combo point classes having the same problem.

Entrerri-proudmoore · January 5, 2019, 1:21am

Try logging in something else then relog… it’s what I had to do.

Roniq-darrowmere · January 8, 2019, 12:14am

I’ve experienced the same problem in the last 2 weeks

Variael-bleeding-hollow · January 11, 2019, 3:57pm

I’ve had a very similar problem, but it felt more like lag.

I’ve also noticed that I’ll be standing on something casting TV and the animation will go off and no damage will happen and the HP wont be spent. I’ve been able to mess with it enough that I can glitch the animation and make its happen like 4-5 times a second. It looks funny.

I had this issue while I shard over to different shards or play on “full” pop servers.

Sykellisonas-muradin · January 11, 2019, 10:07pm

I’ve had this problem on my Paladin for about a month now, it really increases the length of the fight, yet as soon as I kill whatever I’m fighting, my HP pops back up

Hey guys just wanted to post an update after reading several threads and also getting a helpful GM.

Heya Rautha,

Thanks for bearing with us while we dug through this for you. My name’s (removed), and I wanted to follow up on this for you. You’re actually exactly right about this - sorry for the earlier confusion. While the problem can sometimes be exacerbated by addons or connection issues, the core problem causing this is overpopulation in certain zones.

Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot you can do about this other than trying a couple work arounds, but these can be hit and miss. The ones that sometimes work are:

Dropping group if you’re in a party

Logging out for 30 seconds, then logging back in

Toggling to war mode (or vice versa if you’re already in war mode)

Beyond that, we’re working on getting a developer or community update on what’s going on with this. I’d keep an eye on the thread you mentioned for now, and appreciate you reaching out to us about this.

I sincerely hope that this experience with Blizzard Entertainment has been helpful and informative! May you continue to enjoy your stay in our world!

Please go to this thread in order to provide more information to the Devs and get this fixed sooner. The blues are following this thread and they need to catch a few players while the bug is still happening.

The same thing has been happening to me as well. I thought it was just my computer or connection being slow, but seeing this now I think there’s another reason, and yeah it’s been happening at least since 8.1 (when I started leveling my paladin.)
