[BFA Prepatch] Clearcasting bugged at times with slipstream?

[Chiv]

I've noticed at times where if I do a non Clearcasting missiles into a clearcasting missiles (say the non-clear missile proc'd the clear missile), you don't get the benefit of slipstream channeling the 2nd missile. If you move, you interrupt yourself.

There has been other times where I'll have clearcasting then I missiles and move only to interrupt it as well but I am currently testing which situations.

Here I channel a few non-clearcasting missiles until I get a proc then queue it after another non one and move to see if it interrupts. which it does

This is sadly a "known" (existed before pre-patch) bug with chaining missiles. You also don't get the bonus channeling speed from the clearcasting.

Let's hope it gets fixed before bfa launches since it looks like there's more eyes on arcane now.

Well it did! Good for blizz.

IDK if it warrants an entirely new thread but I've noticed clipping the end of a clearcasted missiles makes the next missile channel clearcasted as well (even if you have one clearcast) so it shoots 1 extra with amplification and channels faster.

do you think it'd be a dps increase at all to always clip the clearcasted missiles with another missiles for essentially a double proc?

Thanks.

example of what I'm saying : https://my.mixtape.moe/cktmlr.mp4

My channel bar was behind the details window but I clipped a clearcasted missiles with normal missiles for 12 hits and faster channel

Yeah that bug is also known. It is a good suggestion to see if it is a DPS increase to always clip CC though. I haven't actually tried simming it to see if it is a DPS increase yet. I hopefully have time thursday to work on this and see if it turns out a DPS increase.

It's worth nothing the bug also works the other way around. So if you harcast AM and follow it up by clearcasting AM, you don't benefit from amplification and the CC channel speed. This is important to realize when you follow a CC AM by a non CC AM, and then clearcasting procs during it.

One thing that is odd is the clipped 2nd non-clearcasting missiles does not benefit from slipstream lol
