So, hotfix for GS? - Blue Tracker

#0 - Jan. 31, 2009, 7:04 a.m.

Given that Guardian Spirit is broken (it doesn't properly proc the 50% heal), I am assuming there will be a hotfix soon to correct our 51 point talent, right?

I'd hate to see yet another priest talent severly crippled by a bug and not recieve any attention for months when 3.1 comes out.

And because these boards are immediatly confrontational and everyone feels the need to be the one on the cross, whatever length of time your class had to struggle epicly against while waiting for a bug fix, that was too long.

I understand this is a bug issue and therefore deserving of the bug forums, but there are 4-5 threads already in the first 10 pages and no blue acknowledgment. As this is the forum for healer related issues and we seem to get more blue attention, I am asking for some kind of update here.

It is not an easy bug to fix because the problem described seems to happen inconsistently and smells strongly of being affected by server lag. If we can come up with a clean fix then we will hotfix. Currently we aren't sure how widespread or frequent the problem is.

Please use this thread to help explain the bug with Guardian Spirit.

Please do not muck up this thread with a lot of unrelated priest issues or why you think Blizzard hates your class. There are plenty of threads already discussing the priest class in general at the moment. Inflating threads with unrelated posts makes it harder on us and on players actually interested in the topic to get information.

Q u o t e:
To me this is gamebreaking for the talent. The time you need it the most is when someone suddely drops to almost dead so you quickly react and get GS up on them only to watch them still die.

Yup. The key to a situational spell is that in the right situation it is amazing.

Update: the problem does seem to be related to a second hit killing the target before the GS heal can actually kick in. We should be hotfixing in a solution soon.
