[Oldschool]

Hi lads,

maybe I have missed it, but was there a maybe "hidden" nerf for Tactic Frenzied Mayhem that it will not work for WB now?
I have testet it and it dindt work for WB.
So is this now status quo and will be?

There's a generic bug where tactics that affect buffs do not alter any existing buffs, only freshly cast buffs. For most cases this isn't a big deal, but some buffs last for a long time and you cast them on yourself. So, you equip the tactic that modifies the buff, cast the buff on yourself and also get the benefit of the tactic, and then remove the tactic. The buff on you will still include whatever bonus was provided by the tactic until you recast the buff. WH have something that can abuse it, Marauders do, as do some other classes.

As for bug fixes in general: there is a load of work going on behind the scenes to completely overhaul the server's ability system, so don't expect many bug fixes (unless it's something game breaking like the Zealot having a 25% chance to proc 4k damage on all direct heals) until that work has been completed, as part of the overhaul is to stamp out these bugs and hopefully stop them from occuring to begin with.

being able to 5 slot and missing 25% dmg is kind of game breaking, especially if those two things meet. WH are very strong right now. I'm glad that most WH players don't know their class and play very bad though
