Nichizzy

Toroseduto, I was around when Shamans had no CM and reported (bitched) alot on bug tracker and occasionally forums. Hadn't needed to do any of that now. The difference is tremendous. Much is fixed. I'm glad you got the CM job and more than glad that you've made a real difference to the Shaman class. Our thanks to you and keep it up! Regards,

What do you mean? Class bug fixes apply to both Ally and Horde. Maps are as per Blizzard's design. Objectives in BG are the same for both faction. How could there be a bug benefiting only Horde in BGs?? The only thing I can think of is racial are bugged out so much that it's enough to affect PVP balance but... dont think so. Ally do dominate when they go premade vs random. Could it be a L2P issue

Woops, I didn't know! Didn't play retail. If they need to properly fix all zones first then I'd expect it'd be at least half a year before we see anything with professions. Abit too long!! Surely there must be a middle ground to introduce professions without fully scripting all the zones?? A shortcut of some sorts.

Apologies Sketter, I was under the impression that the skills was still under discussion, hence it was without the proper information useful to you. But seeing as my list was without objection, do append to your list of critical bugs. I have linked the respective bugtracker post in the quote.

If that happens, I'll be super glad!

I've not tested on Mastery as a stat. Is there a problem with it? I'm more familiar with Elemental than the other specs, so I will only comment on Elem. My opinion is: General + Elemental Focus! - We dont need to fix Voodoo totem. Earthgrab and Stun totem is good enough for now. - Dont mind not fixing Wind Rush. For both Fire and Lightning build +The mechanics of Elemental Overload when paired with either Stormkeeper or Echo of the Elements. Basically consumes additional charges - critical because those are our bursts. For Lightning Build +Chain Lightning - huge MP loss. Support fixing. Please note that somehow damage buff from Stormkeeper doesnt affect all targets by CL, only the first one or perhaps 2. +Talent Lightning Rod is supposedly a huge dps increase (that's what I read in retail forums). For Fire Build +Lava Surge proc isnt working properly. It should immediately enable instant 1 cast of Lava Surge. We should be able to lob multiple LBs! The way it works now is: a. if it works, u get to instant cast after a delay of about 2 sec after proc b. sometimes is just doesnt work c. sometimes after casting the procced Lava Burst, the cooldown goes to 1-2 sec then resets to 6 sec without you actually hardcasting a Lava Burst - that's like 14 sec of CD.

Thank you Sketter!! Pretty spot-on. Might have minor changes, we (shamans) will discuss.

Sketter, is is possible for the Shaman community to share our joint opinion on critical bugs to be fixed? Perhaps we can limit it to about 3 per spec. When these lists of bugs are confirmed, could the importance be raised to critical or something? We've not had a proper round of fix for months while other class had their go now and then. I think its only fair that we're placed on top of the stack for once. Appreciate you looking into this very much, and for your reply. Merry Christmas!

Bump

Can any CM or QM or Dev comment on this? I just did a quick glance and the trend is still going on very poorly for Shaman and less so (but still poorly, relatively speaking) for Paladin and Druids. Shaman had 62 reports untouched out of 75 reports, dating back from mid November. Druids have 36 and Paladins 39. Isn't there an action plan at all to compensate for when there is a lack of class CM? Or is it a, 'Gee, oops!' moment?

Typo on Warrior Warrior - 3 New, 0 More Info, 26 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 1 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review

Hi, I've been posting a number of bugs and comments on the bugtracker for my class, but there's been few activity so far. This prompted me to compile some basic figures to get an idea of how things generally are for bugtrackers. I've separated the first 30 bugtracker posts into their current statuses. This was done at about 0810 - 0830 on 9th Dec. The results are found below: DK - 3 New, 6 More Info, 19 Confirmed, 1 In progress, 1 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review DH - 13 New, 1 More Info, 15 Confirmed, 1 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Druid - 19 New, 0 More Info, 10 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 1 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Hunter - 11 New, 4 More Info, 14 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 1 Fix need review Mage - 0 New, 1 More Info, 25 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 4 Fix need review Monk - 2 New, 8 More Info, 20 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Paladin - 17 New, 9 More Info, 4 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Priest - 6 New, 3 More Info, 20 Confirmed, 1 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Rogue - 7 New, 0 More Info, 23 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Shaman - 23 New, 0 More Info, 6 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 0 Fix need test, 1 Fix need review Warlock - 3 New, 1 More Info, 19 Confirmed, 4 In Progress, 1 Fix need test, 2 Fix need review Warrior - 3 New, 26 More Info, 0 Confirmed, 0 In Progress, 1 Fix need test, 0 Fix need review Great deal of activity (under 10 new posts) is found for DKs, Mage, Monks, Priests, Rogues, Warlocks and Warriors. About 80-90% efficiency! A moderate amount of activity (around 10 new posts or under) for DH, Hunters. About 60-70% efficiency Poor activity (closer to 20 new posts or more) for Druids, Paladins and Shamans. About 30% efficiency I'm a Shaman first and foremost and I felt Shaman bugs were not really looked into, for the longest time. I did not want to pull out figures off my @ass so I did a compilation. The numbers confirmed and saddens me as a Shaman. Nevertheless, I hope these numbers could be viewed from a larger perspective, not just from Shaman player's point of view. I've heard that some classes do not have CMs so the activity may fall off abit - but these numbers prove that the disparity is too large! If need be, I hope other CMs could take some time off to contribute whichever bugtracker that needs help, even though its out of their specialty - for the good of Firestorm. Best Regards,

Shaman doesnt have too. Druid has. I'm not sure which other class have or dont have, but I'm pretty sure a few doesnt have so its not just a vendetta against warlocks. But yeah, please implement it to all classes to ensure balanced gameplay.

Restore professions first! There are new things that ppl wants to try also. It's easier than scripting world quest. Gives ppl alot more things to do and farm. Makes the economy and AH more vibrant again.
