WoW Freakz spell link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=5143&&name=arcane-missiles
Bug description: Arcane missiles is not scaled correctly to arcane charges , instead of giving you 200% increase on 4 stacks...is only giving 100% increase. Same for lower stacks , instead of giving you 50% on first stack is only giving 25% , instead of 100% on 2nd stack is giving only 50% and so on...

Arcane Missiles' damage is increased by 50% per charge.
So that means at
1 stack I have 50% increase = 1.5 x AM
2 stacks I have 100% increase = 2 x AM
3 stacks I have 150% increase = 2.5 x AM
4 stacks I have 200% increase = 3 X AM



Here's my base Arcane Missiles.
So 325 damage with no stacks of Arcane Charge.

1 stack = 1.5 x 325 = 487
2 stacks = 2 x 325 = 650
3 stacks = 2.5 x 325 = 812
4 stacks = 3 x 325 = 975




Where is the problem?



PS: you are comparing you 1 stack vs 4 stacks and you see it's only double damage, so you think "ow it's only 100% increase". What you don't realize is that it's 100% of the already 50% extra. So it's 2x1.5xAM=3xAM.
Try to compare your 4 stacks with NO stacks and you'll see an increase.

That was actually with 0 stacks...that stack was created by using that arcane missiles. so the compare is between 0 and 4 stacks not between 1 and 4.

absolutely everything u showed me in your prints...you are actually show me that I am right.

In what world 487 dmg with 0 stacks and 960 dmg with 4 stacks is 200% dmg increase???

487 x 2 (which is 100% dmg increase) = 974dmg
487 x 3 (which is 200% dmg increase) = 1461dmg (this should be the dmg of arcane missiles with 4 stacks , not 974)

PS: stack of arcane charge should be added when the arcane missiles cast is finished / interrupted (not when casted) , but u are completely wrong when u say u are actually have 50% increase when casting arcane charge with 0 stacks , because that stack actually gets created upon using arcane missiles...and u do not benefit from it

In the second picture you can see with white text that 487 dmg is with 1 stack! 325 is with 0 stacks. 487 = 100*325 + 50*325.
The first picture has 325 damage which is with 0 stacks.

10000 damage was with 1 stack, because AM give you a stack of Charge BEFORE you cast the AM, not after. No stacks = 6666 damage.
With 2 stacks you'd have 13333. 3 stacks you'd have 16666. 4 stacks 19999.

So again:
1 stack = 1.5 x 325 = 487
2 stacks = 2 x 325 = 650
3 stacks = 2.5 x 325 = 812
4 stacks = 3 x 325 = 975

PS: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Arcane_Charge_%28mage%29
Look at charge generators.

PS2: look at your Arcane Missile tooltip and see what damage it does. See if it's lower than you hit and if it is, explain to me why the tooltip says a lower damage than the one you hit and how is that damage*1.5 equal to your dummy damage.

See below almost finishing the channel of arcane missiles and still no arcane charge !

So you're saying AM should generate the Charge after it finished casting?

That's a different bug(IF it's a bug) than the one you reported and has nothing to do with the damage of the stacks.
If possible, please go in game and hover the AM icon and take a screenshot of how much damage it says it does.

yep , u should get the stack only if u finish the cast or the cast get interrupted by any other cause (moving / interrupted by a spell ...etc)

Maybe about damage I was fooled by the fact u shouldn't get that increase when u have no stacks.
I will check again once I log.

Ok. I'm waiting for your screenshot.

Regarding the Charge bug, you need to open another topic for it.

Yep , you are right...I was fooled by the fact that u get the 50% benefit from arcane charge with 0 stacks.
This is the only bug , that u actually are not supposed to get that 50% increase when u have 0 stacks.

[africa]

Ok then.

Find more proof of it an make a topic.
