Frostbite IssuesFollow

Just saw a blue post stating:

Mages
Frostbite is currently bugged and won't proc from frostbolts. The bug has been identified and will be fixed in the next patch.


While I am still fire, I know there are a lot of frost mages here, this should help you out and make sure you know you just weren't being really unlucky.

lol! zombie/robot :P

btw, just want to add soething: Sometimes my frostbolts says that frostbite-proc-sound, and the target stands still for around ½ sec, or less, and then they just continue with what their were doing.. cant see the frostbite debuff on them though.

Same with me - Frostbite's been proc'ing for me all day like it should, but I'm also experiencing what NecareXX is: the mob will stop for a second and the sound plays.

Odd.

Very odd, but I think that is what they mean about it being bugged, that the times where it plays the sound and they stop for a split second (yes, they do) the 5 second frostbite should have proc´d

Kinda like Elemental Precision giving the old amount of +hit on frost spells (double the currently listed bonus)?

Just heard about that one a few days ago.

I heard about that on the EJ forums a few days ago as well. I'm not sure if it is all frost spells or just frostbolt

Ah good... I was thinking the mobs were just breaking free really quick. I guess I should read WoW forums more. :)

Thanks,

I believe its only on FBolt, my Ice armor has been proccing FrostBite more than my FB =(.

And it does the exact same thing to me with the 1.5 sec pause then coming at me.

Ok so thats was an estimate, it seems like an eternity. Plus I miss my shatter crits. Although last night I procced It off FB, but it still bugs sometimes.

Yeah it proc's off of Frost Bolt, but whats worse is that sometimes when I use Frost Nova in melee range (or atleast IN range)it doesnt freeze them, it doesnt it damage them, IT DOESNT EVEN SHOW UP IN THE COMBAT LOG! THAT sucks! :(

Man, if that's the case then I'm missing a LOT of Frostbite procs. I get that "pause" error that you guys are describing quite frequently. Though my Frostbolts are definitely proc'ing Frostbite occasionally, no way is it 15% of the time.

What a time to respec Frost! Add to that the fact that Iceblock will be trainable soon...gah!
