Frostfire Bolt debuff bug

[Chilafalaspetti]

Today I was skilling archaeology and I took aggro from a mob so I used Frostfire bolt spell with Arcane spec to kill him then I cast the second one bolt with PoM, when I saw that the debuff was stacked x2.

Sow normal debuff give 40% slow debuff, x2 = 80% slow debuff
I have also tried to put 3 point on the Permafrost talent and the result is:
normal debuff 50% snare, x2 = 100% slow debuff (snared target).

The advantage is that you can refresh it endlessly.

Good exploit for Arcane Mage in pvp.

ENJOY!!

not sure if gidings

[sorrows]

was it glyphed..?

[Xhaiden]

If anyone confirms, I'm +repping you. That was just what mages needed, they weren't viable enough for pvp *COUGH* ;D

[Chilafalaspetti]

nope not glyphed. The second bolt must be istant cast immediately after the first.

[shorstuff910mc]

Would anyone with a mage mind trying to spam frostfire bolt to see if it stacks multiple times (since you can refresh the debuff), say, to 100+? Although, with a 1.4 min CD on that it will be about 2 hours...

Hmm...

Tried it without speccing into permafrost, and nada.

Edit again:

It's working now. Thanks.

Permafrost's 100% slow reduces you to 1% movement speed, and you can still charge and leap and all that stuff, but you are literally going nowhere.

I dont have it glyphed and i also dont have permafrost talent.
I tried the combo of two frostfire bolts with the second immediately after first using PoM and from the 5tries i did on a target dummy(lvl85 so i dont get a miss) it only occured once and only at the first frostfire you cast.


EDIT:I tried to get 3 stacks of it but didnt work.lost around 30mins of my life for shorstuff910mc :P

nvm 2stacks ss so to prove it http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...811034314.jpg/
tried it also on my bros char dueling him http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...811035915.jpg/

Another note if you get 2stacks and u use slow also after this you will see both debuffs on the char.Though after some tests the slow doesnt apply on him only the -80% from frostfire bolt even if slow debuff icon appears.While if you have 1 stack of frostfire and you cast slow the frostfire debuff wears off and slow is applied on the target.

Lastly it seems that if you fail to refresh the 2stacks of frostfire then in order to reapply them you need to go out of combat.

[Chilafalaspetti]

Nope I did few duel vs my friend and he could snare me without going out of combat...

I can confiirm that work perfect in pvp and sometimes stacks to 3.
Tested in frost spec glyph+talent
