Known issues: spell queue and Bear Form

A reply in Blizzard's thread WoW Forever Beta Known Issues - October 8

Kaivax

Summary

Blizzard's original post

A day after the beta opened, Blizzard added five issues to its known-issues list. Queueing Heroic Strike, Cleave or Raptor Strike turns off the spell queue window, Bear Form multiplies armor from buffs and consumables, and the Cooldown Manager is still unfinished.

Highlights

  • Queueing an on-next-attack ability turns off the spell queue window
  • Bear Form multiplies armor bonuses from buffs and consumables
  • Arcane Missiles fires a full-damage bolt when the Mage is hit while channeling
  • Cooldown Manager unfinished, and its coverage differs by class
  • Resurrection sickness lasts the wrong length of time at low levels

What this means for players

Warriors and Hunters testing on the beta should know that queueing Heroic Strike, Cleave or Raptor Strike turns off the spell queue window. Druid tanks may see more armor than intended. Whether each issue is fixed by launch is not stated.
