1.10 Beta Bugs

[Jorath]

The Zeal bug is basically: if you are attacked during the first swing of your zeal, that swing and all other swings will miss. I've been playing a paladin a lot in 1.10 with Zeal and whenever I get surrounded I have to switch to some other attack to get out (which hits fine), because I always get attacked during that first swing, and thus never hit anything for as many zeals as I feel like doing.

I've tested it out against just one enemy and it's pretty obvious. Try it on a stone skin boss who swings at the same rate that you can complete a zeal. I did it against an Urdar. I would Zeal and miss, during the first swing of which he would swing and miss. Over and over and over, with me never hitting, and he occasionally hitting, or me blokc ing (I hear the 'ting' but no animation). Then, I waited to start my Zeal until just after he had already attacked me: I hit 4/5 of my swings. Then time my next swing to start right as he swings at me: I miss all attacks of that Zeal, and can continue to miss forever, since 1 Zeal takes me the same time as 1 swing for him.

In all my playing and testing I have had %85 - %95 toHit, which make a Zeal that misses all 5 attacks very unlikely, but the bug makes it VERY common.


I've read on battle.net forums tha this bug also affects other multi-attack skills (fury, fend, etc).
