Arcane missiles not procing clearcast correctly

Arcane missiles not procing clearcast correctly

Arcane missiles should proc clearcast with every channel tick but as of right now it is only procing on the initial cast of the spell, which is wrong and gamebreaking. If you plan on making an arcane mage beware of this. I just respeced into arcane and now i have a gimp char with the core talent mechanic not working because of this.

no...arcane missiles should have one chance to proc at the starting of the cast.

almost every private server has this wrong though.

It is for only when you first click the spell. Please dont report things as bugs that are not.

This takes away from DEVs focusing on actual bugs.

Do you have any proof of this? The talent says "any damage spell hits the target".
Without every tic being able to proc it it's pretty much impossible to dps with arcane for longer than 1min. I doubt blizz overlooked such a clear impossibility.

Don't come ask for proof when you should be the one providing some buddy.

There are lots of talents or spells in general in wow which tooltips don't reflect properly what they exactly do. The wording of the talent doesn't really matter (and even if it was important : AM is one spell, right? Shouldn't it count as one "damage spell"?), the only thing important being how it worked on retail.

This topic has already been discussed and proofs that Arcane Missiles are supposed to have a chance to proc Clearcast only on the first tick (actually even before that, right when the mana is consumed, you can see that on retail movies) have already been provided to the devs.

Just look-up on the forums buddy, and check at the same time Blizzard/AE/BW/CoC having only 1 chance to proc per spell cast, even if hitting 50 mobs :), it'll save you some time :D.
