Lose all combo points just from deselect

So I noticed you lose all your combo points just from deselecting your initial target, is my UI bugged?

If my UI isnt bugged, someone tell me this is normal, because i dont ever remember losing cp just from deselecting my target.

opening few seconds he deselects his target and reselects it and the combo points are still there.


Hi, i also noticed that on my rogue today, i was about to make a post like your, but after few research on internet i found this.

"As of Patch 2.0.3, the rogue will not lose Combo Points upon switching targets until a point has been added to another target."

ok thanks thats good info.

But I've recently noticed another issue when fighting from what i've noticed warlocks my combo points are constantly being removed. I have video of it.

Here's the video, i noticed it happening during combat and started recording as it was happening, so its pretty quick but you can see it, and it happens to a centaur near the end aswell. wtf.

combo points should be lost on:
-targeting a new target

combo points should not be lost on:
-untargeting current target without selecting a new one <- afaik this works fine
-feign death, then getting a new target (hunters pet usually) because its attacking you <- this is a bug

to confirm the above you just need to look up rogue pvp movies from retail vanilla... shouldnt be too hard

EDIT:
As far as your combo point losses on warlocks go its a simple explanation... its your addon

The addon in the middle of your screen (enemy frames) that scans for enemy players is a private vanilla server addon which targets enemy players in range for a milisecond (to update their hp and stuff), and then goes back to your current target. You can probably figure out why this is an issue for a rogue unlike a mage for example :P
