The other day I was fighting some Bloodsail Warlocks outside of Booty Bay with Cruniac, my lvl 40 paladin. Being level 40, and current in his skills, he possesses Shadow Resist Aura Rank 2, but his Frost Resist and Fire Resist are both level 1. That means his Shadow Resist Aura increases his shadow resist by 45, while his other auras increase their area resists by only 30.
Well, I encountered this bug while fighting the warlocks who have imps as pet. I would put on my shadow resist to engage the warlock and imp (my logic being the warlock will do more damage than his pet) and once warlock died I would switch to fire resist for the pet.
The bug is you can't turn on a lower rank resist aura to replace a higher one--i.e. I could not switch to my fire resist just by clicking the aura icon. I would get the "A more powerful spell is already active." message, and stay in Shadow Resist aura.
Now, I guess there is the off chance that this is intended, but regardless I urge Blizzard to fix it! A spell that resists one type of damage is NOT the same as a resistance to another damage type!
Just wanted to let people know about this one. :blink:
