Are you calling THIS ugly? This is the DEFINITION of beauty!

On a more serious note, after playing Boltress to level 60 and re-rolling as a dwarf with Cleoboltra, I noticed the "stuck wand" effect when I got her the first wand. I had always figured that it was a client-side bug just for me, because nobody else ever seemed to say anything about it.
The larger the monster is, the bigger the effect of the "stuck wand" shot. It seems that it's using the code Blizzard has for arrow shots when they stick to the target, and when applied to magic, wand damage, it goes berserk. So imagine my surprise when, on one of the first raids I went to, I had a fire wand and shot it at a giant to hear a whole bunch of "what the hell is that!" A giant firey spike was projecting from the giant's chest, which I'm used to - but apparently nobody else was. I had no idea OTHER clients saw that and figured it was local to my machine only.
Now I have a Stormrager, so such shots cause massive electrical storms all over the giants' bodies when I hit them with it. This bug has been around for, well, ages now and Blizzard doesn't seem to care. Why it only affects dwarves, I don't know - specifically dwarf priests, since no other dwarf class can use wands. As if we dwarf priests needed another reason to be the best priest race in the game!
If this seriously bothers other players and messes with their eyes or framerate, I will avoid doing so in the future.
