Staff's Avatar by Staff

With the new build comes an updated issues list for the MoP beta. From various LUA errors to un-dodgeable ranged attacks, many class issues, and more.

You can also see this week’s development notes here.


We are tracking the following known issues and working to address them:

General

  • You may encounter LUA errors on the character select screen.
  • You stop turning if you have the move and turn keys both pressed and release the Move key.
  • Players are unable to discover new Alchemy recipes.
  • Using a /petautocaston or /petautocastoff macro with a temporary pet (ex. a Shaman elemental pet) causes a crash.

Classes

  • Ranged attacks can be blocked, but they cannot be dodged.
  • /petassist does not function.
  • Spell costs that involve a % of Maximum Health do not display that cost on the tooltip (i.e. Life Tap, Soulshatter).
  • Specialization respec is currently free.
  • Dust of Disappearance is not allowing players to change talents.
  • Shadowy effects from spells look different than the original MoP.
  • The expertise tooltip rounds the Dodge and Parry chances to the lower half-percent.
  • Druid
    • Mastery: Total Eclipse does not dynamically update.
    • Restoration’s Soul of the Forest buff is no longer consumed by Living Seed’s heal triggering.
    • Ferocious Bite’s tooltip will now correctly scale with % increases like Savage Roar.
    • Force of Nature’s base spell displays as having a duration of “Until Canceled”.
  • Hunter
    • Aspect of the Iron Hawk shows as active on the hotbar even when deactivated.
  • Monk
    • Monks are using weapons instead of their fists during combat (cosmetic).
    • Healing Elixirs will no longer persist on the Monk after they have talented out of it.
    • Glyph of Spinning Crane Kick will now correctly allow you to move at normal movement speed when using Spinning Crane Kick. (fixed next build)

    • Healing Tide Totem now benefits from the master’s Resilience and no longer heals itself.
  • Paladin
    • Hand of Sacrifice’s damage transfer will now correctly break crowd control effects that break on damage.
  • Priest
    • Lightwell’s tooltip now correctly includes the time interval it heals “every 2 sec for 6 sec”.
    • The tooltip on the Power Word: Barrier buff now correctly lists its damage reduction %.
  • Warlock
    • “Grimoire of Supremacy” does not remove the base Summon Demon variants.
    • Applying the Glyph of Shadow Bolt turns the spell on your hotbar into a passive spell, and moves the actual Shadow Bolt spell into the General tab of the spellbook.
    • Malefic Grasp and Drain Soul will now cost the correct amount of mana per tick. (fixed next build)
    • Havoc will now correctly work with mouseover macros if you are targeting your Havoc target and casting on another target. (fixed next build).
