elemental effects ticking faster

If there is a bug in there somewhere, that is one thing.

My comment on the blue post is that he himself does not rule out a bug causing this that hasn't been isolated/duplicated yet, but he is simply saying no one has changed the values for the elemental damage or resists.

Sounds like that if this is a bug, it's intermittent, or triggered by some other condition, because, as others have pointed out, including Erick, not everyone sees it, and it's very inconsistent when seen. Until then, the guy posting was just saying that no values were changed, and acknowledging that there could be a bug.

Intermittent bugs that no one can duplicate or say how to trigger them are a huge PITA to find. I've read through the thread, and there's no real 'proof' of anything. It's like Ony's deep breaths at this point. When someone figures out how to trigger the condition in a duplicatable way, then a bug can be fixed if it exists.

Mav, it's not what he said, but how he said it. There were a lot more diplomatic ways to say, "yes, there might be a bug, but coefficients haven't changed. we can look into the bug if we can get more data and look at what the root cause is. I'll lock this thread and note it for something to check on in our QA," instead of, "there might be a bug, but nothing has changed. closing thread." And now you wonder why I say Blizzard's QA has gotten worse over time, it's commentary like this that shows why it's gotten worse.
