Big Consecration Threat Bug Causing Havoc in BCC

Recommended Posts

Update: Blizzard are working on the issue and have made some progress on it.
Something seems to have gone wrong yesterday, as many players are reporting a sudden change in how Paladin's Consecration works in Burning Crusade Classic.

There are many reports over on the official forums, as the ability seems to be, well, unstable at the moment, since it sometimes simply does not generate threat at all, for long periods of time. So far there are some players that were able to reset the bug by logging out, closing the client and waiting a bit before relaunching, but there doesn't seem to be any particular logic or consistency behind it, as that  didn't do anything for others. And, since the onset is seemingly completely random, it's causing some serious havoc in dungeons and raids!

Originally reported by Thyco on the official forums, the bug has become widespread over the past day or so:

Several, but not all, Prot paladins are experiencing threat problems today that we have not had prior to today. We’re talking same groups and dungeons we’ve been running for days, and suddenly we have issues with them. This is not related to mechanics or strategy like our dungeon team being somehow suddenly better geared or us changing our routine on pulls and fights. Primarily seems to be noticeable on larger mob packs, and some people have tested and report that Consecrate is doing damage but generating Zero threat. Please look into this issue so that those of us impacted can get a remedy. - Thyco
...
Exactly the kind of news you want to read 8 hours before tanking Gruul...

Edit: Cleared SP Heroic earlier with no issues. Tried to do a quick Botanica normal for the NHC daily and, bam, Consecration does zero aggro. Relogging and waiting/closing the client didn't fix anything.

Edit2: We finished (somehow) and I relogged again outside the instance. It seems to be back to normal now (tested on random spider in Terrokar), but it's not reassuring. If anything, avoid Botanica until it's clear they fixed this. - Yarasin
...

Upvote as I've seen this EXACTLY issue.

There are times where I'm tanking a lowbie instance (SM Cath for example) and for some reason I just can't get ANY threat.

We even did a test. I did consecreate for the entire duration of the spell. Then a warrior hit a mob twice white damage and pulled aggro.

Something is wrong here.

Note: Doesn't happen every time. - StartupTim
...
I got kicked out of a few SHH groups because of this. One guy said he hopes I get cancer for tanking so bad - timetravelhunter
...

We figured this out after struggling through half a heroic Shattered Halls. Not the best place for Cons to break. - remeez


Hopefully Blizzard can address this issue as soon as possible, as there will be plenty more groups that will fail their runs, and some players might even get really angry at their Paladin tanks because of it!

I mean if you've played enough and not just with friends... you've had that experience at least a couple times. It doesn't mean that's the norm (I don't think it is, even today) but that's basically gaming these days.

i rarely encountered bad people in classic and now in tbc tbh, but maybe its cause i always give away free bufffood or pots to random people while questing or doing an instance. in retail ive seen bad people more often in random keys, also playing more retail.

      Update: the buff is now live on NA and EU servers as well!
      It's time for joy on TBC Classic servers, as the Joyous Journeys 50% extra XO buff has gone live on Oceanic servers. It was late Monday morning for that region when it went up so we should be seeing the buff arrive shortly to EU and then NA, but it's definitely coming today (Monday).
      The buff was said to arrive "at least 6-8 weeks" before WotLK Classic's launch, and we've already seen a leaked release date from the official site for September 26th, which is 1 week later, but it's now safe to say September is the target month at least.
      In any case, now is the time to level up those classes you may have wanted to try out for WotLK Classic!

      It's finally here! After an early launch on Oceanic realms the Joyous Journeys 50% XP buff has arrived to EU and NA servers! Now is the time to get those WotLK classes set up and ready for the new Classic, which also got its officialr release date today. 
      Prepare for #WrathClassic with a 50% XP boost.
