Dragon's tooth bugged

So i’ve had it a couple times already whenever I go down or when I’m CC’d dragon’s tooth does no damage. Just 2 mins ago I would have won a 2v1 if my dragon’s tooth damaged his down body before his teammate could ress him. It’s the second fire skill on scepter from elementalist.

I played with Dragon’s Tooth a bit after reading this post. If you cancel-cast Dragon’s Tooth or get interrupted in any way while casting it, the animation for DT will still complete, but it will not actually do damage. The skill will be put on a 4s CD rather than 6s. This is working kind of like how rez banner (Battle Standard) worked for warriors previously. So, in essence, the skill is doing damage when it should, but the animation can be misleading if you didn’t actually get the full cast off.

I’ll write myself a note to bring it up on Monday. Thanks!

After reading through the responses, I decided to log into our test client from home and try to reproduce some of the claims here. (This got me out of cleaning the kitchen, thanks guys.)

  • Interrupted DT is going on a 6s cooldown rather than 4 – I stand corrected!
  • As for DT doing no damage if you’re interrupted AFTER the cast finishes, I was unable to reproduce this. I tried CC’ing myself with Head Shot, Fear Me, and Earthshaker. I tried casting DT and interrupting subsequent casts (Fire Grab, for example) and I wasn’t able to get DT to fail, either. Every time I fully completed the cast the damage would land.
