Recent CC Diminishing Returns Changes

We’ve recently made a slight change to how crowd control diminishing returns function, and would like to provide some concrete information on exactly what’s been changed and why.



As most of you are likely aware, there is a brief window of time after a crowd control effect has been applied, during which further crowd control effects of the same category will have a decreased duration. In patch 6.0.3, due to the method used to update diminishing returns, that window could last anywhere from 15 to 20 seconds.



Patch 6.1 added some new functionality that allows diminishing returns to update much faster, which means we can be a lot more precise with exactly how long they last. So, we made a recent hotfix that changes the duration of diminishing returns to 18 seconds. That means diminishing returns should last about as long as they did on average prior to these changes, but you’re able to have a much clearer idea of exactly when they’ll end.





Hans'gar and Franzok Room FPS Drop

Hey all,



We're having some trouble reproducing this internally, and need some more information for you folks to help us narrow down the issue.



I need two files: a DxDiag of your system and your WoW's Config file. Information on how to grab both is below.



DxDiag

Press Windows Key + R.

Type DxDiag and press Enter.

In the DxDiag window, click Save All Information.

Name the file "dxdiag" and click Save.



Config.wtf.

Navigate to your root Wow Folder (Like where wow.exe is located)

Open the WTF folder

Locate your Config.wtf file.



Once you have both files, please email them to toolsupport@blizzard.com with the title [WoW] [Hans'gar & Franzok FPS Issue] [16411251774].



Thanks!

Readability (holinka)



PvP

Do you think the Psychic Scream buff will be enough to bring priest pvp back from the ground? Any other plans?

There are a lot of changes in 6.1. We will definitely be watching it all closely. (holinka)



Bug or not? Wrynn's Vanguard Reputation armor doesn't have a 2/4-pc bonus?

AskMrRobot Team Optimizer

Our friends over at AskMrRobot recently launched a new premium feature, the Team Optimizer. This lets you look at your raid and see who is not optimized and how far everyone is progressing towards all BiS gear. Once everything is set up, you can also select items that dropped and see who it will be the biggest upgrade for.

This list is not complete, and will not include all issues.

The issues listed here are frequently reported issues that may be addressed at a later date via a client patch.

  • Druid - Ferocious Bite does not refund energy when the ability misses, or is dodged or parried.
  • Paladin - Heals from other Paladins will consume Glyph of Flash of Light without its benefits.
  • Priest - Switching targets while casting Mind Vision can cause Mind Vision to sometimes show the Priest's PoV instead of the original target.
  • Priest - Holy Word: Serenity does not work with mouseover macros.
  • Mage - Frozen Orb has its projectile pathing blocked by objects, such as trees, that don't block line of sight for targeted spells.
