MMO-Champion BlueTracker - [BUG] Bear Swipe

2009-03-14 00:29:44

Range on bear swipe seem to have been greatly reduced along with the 360 change. Testing method - on two adjecent dummies, I positioned myself so that swipe hit both dummes, then moved towards one until I only hit that one. When shifting to cat form (which still has the old swipe targeting method) swipe still hit both dummies. This very much reduced range makes picking up a pulled pack even bigger a hassle than the targeted cone was.

There is currently a bug where your auto attack target is swapping when using multi-target abilities such as swipe. Please test this out in a future build. I will note what you are reporting to be tested at a later time as well. Thank you.

Re: [BUG] Bear Swipe

Q u o t e:
Just wanted to clarify that the issue doesn't have to do with target switching. The issue was the range of the new bear swipe, standing in front of the middle non boss target dummy in darnassus (southern group), cat swipe will hit all 3 while bear swipe will only hit the one in front of you. The range is cut by at least half. Again, this is not about the auto attack target switching (which I haven't experienced yet using either bear or cat swipe).

The problem is that when your auto attack target switches, it will mess with your effective melee range. I have noted the issue you are stating, and it will be looked into regardless.
