[Druid][Balance] Astral Power Random Losses

[DoesMyNameMatter]

WoW Freakz spell link: -
Bug description: Randomly , throughout the course of a fight or an encounter , resources such as Astral Power will decrease by 1 for no reason after a cast rewarding said resource goes through . This seems to happen at random and , as far as i can tell , it isn't affected by high amounts of haste as one may initially suspect. I'm writing this report after experiencing the issue at 30% haste , and I have also experienced it at higher amounts of haste , albeit more regulary ( usually bloodlust and whispers in the wind proc and other cds ) . This really screws you up if you use a resource-generating spell , and while that's being casted , you can see the resource-gain that spell will reward and see that it's enough for a desired spell , only to have your plan ruined by a random decrease leaving you 1 off the casting requirement .
Proof: Due to the randomness of this encounter it's difficult obtaining video proof of it occuring .

Try and catch this happening in a video.

Check this video and pay close attention to my astral power bar at 0:12 seconds , go ahead and set the speed to 0.5 if you want , you can see my astral power bar going from 41 to 40 right after the lunar strike cast . Now , I've asked some other moonkins on freakz if they have ever experienced this and some have told me that it's a visual bug . This video also proves that it isn't , and that you do lose that 1 astral power . Before the lunar strike that causes the bug. , you can see i have 18 A.P. , and note also that I have Incarnation up . A lunar strike during incarnation is supposed to reward 23 A.P. , 18+23=41 , and yet i end up with 7 A.P. remaining after the starsurge cast ( it's 7 because i have 1 stack of the legendary head up , which decreases the cost of S.S. by 7 / stack , therefore making it's cost 33 ) . I'd like to also point out that this isn't because of the legendary head , in case you might think that , because I've also recorded this video , which is me using the legendary wrists instead of the head : https://youtube.com/watch?v=hPZYviVBrnk:

( skip to min 1:40 , you can see it happens there and at 1:48 ) .

What is even the point of this response ? If you don't have anything to add to the discussion please refrain from posting .

Did a little bit of testing, it's caused by Incarnation : Chosen of Elune and Blessing of the Ancients : Elune being used at the same time. It only happens with lunar strike as far as I can tell and I think I know why...

If you cast nothing but Lunar Strike with Incarnation : Chosen of Elune and Blessing of the Ancients : Elune your astral power gains will go like this 22>45>67>90 (+22+23+22+23) I would imagine it's because, at a base level (no talents) your lunar strike is generating 12 astral power. With Blessing of the Ancients : Elune it now generates 15 astral power. Which makes Incarnation : Chosen of Elune try to generate 7.5 (50% extra astral power) making it 22.5 per cast. Since we can't work with 0.5 astral power it gives 22 > 23 > 22 > 23, repeating. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended but I'm pretty sure this is what's happening.

I have also noticed while getting the video footage that it only happens with Lunar Strike , but forgot to mention this . Thanks for your input zpir .
