[WoW] ... joy
Oct. 28th, 2008 09:32 amSo, one of the Rogue Glyphs is broken.
Glyph of Sprint says it reduces the cooldown of Sprint by one minute, but it actually only reduces it by 15 seconds. This has been bug-reported.
I log on to the beta today (because normal WoW servers are down, but the beta is not), and Glyph of Sprint has been... fixed.
And by that, I mean, it's the same kind of fixing that you do to animals. At the vet.
Now it adds +30% speed (although depending on who actually codes this, it's either +30% to make Sprint +100% OR +30% of the +70% for a total of +91%), but Sprint now lasts five seconds less in duration.
Way to break that Glyph, Blizzard.
Consider this. Normal run speed of x. When using Sprint, you have a run speed of 1.7 * x for 15 seconds. So, in that 15 seconds, you cover a distance of 25.5 * x.
With this change, at best you're looking at a speed of 2.0 * x for 10 seconds, for a distance covered of 20.0 * x. (Worst case, you're covering 19.1 * x)
Unless I'm missing something obvious here, this Glyph sucks. I shouldn't be surprised, though. Most of the Rogue Major Glyphs suck. (Except Glyph of Hemo, which I can't get yet. The Minor Glyphs are mostly fine.)
