Title: Stone Arrow Specialization bonus not working
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? No
Details: Stone arrow's specialization mentions lower cooldown and lower cast time, as I train specialization up, The cooldown goes down, but the cast time never changes.
Steps to Reproduce: Cast stone arrow at Specialization 0, take note of cast time. Train Specialization to 40/80/100, cast stone arrow, take note of the same cast time.

Tested in offline mode. Either the skill description text is invalid or the cast time has no bonus from earth spec. Same for stone fist as it is instantly cast. Earth spec cannot decrease the cast time of the instantly cast stone fist.

 

Confirmed tool tip does not reflect description on the cast time.

verified on qa 1108 with scroll of unlearning. cooldown reduces, execution time does not.

 

Submitted: Issue 68452

 

Fixed. Stone Arrow's cast time now properly scales downward with a characters Earth Specialization if specialized. Stone Fist no longer indicates that it receives a reduced cast time from Earth Specialization in the tooltip since it is an instantly cast spell. Just needs to patch in, likely before R94.

 

Uhh, one thing I noticed when I was playing my monk build is that the "reduced cast time" was actually a "reduced lock time" like life spec gives to most life spells ( as in a shorter global cooldown). Can you maybe confirm and then adjust the tooltip if my suspicions were correct?

 

For which skill? And please elaborate as well

 

Ahh for Earth Fist. You said :

But as per my testing, the actual effect was a shorter Lock time (so the time where ALL your glyphs are on cooldown between each cast).

The faster your cast time on a glyph, the shorter the global cooldown is, but since stone fist is an instant cast, only the global cooldown is actually reduced in this scenario (or "lock time" as per Life Specs wording).

Am I clear enough? Feel like I'm confusing...

 

Nope, you're golden. You're right, it does have a lock time reduction based upon your specialization, and if not specialized its the same as the other fist spells. I added lock time into Stone Fist's spell description jargon as well for the specialized portion. Thanks Good call Also needs to patch in.

 

fix needs testing as of 1437 for change to stone fist

 

Can confirm Stone fists description now matches the actual spec effect.

Stone Arrow also gained reduced cast time!

Fixed!
