A nasty bug with the 2-piece Tier 10 (http://www.wow.com/tag/tier-10/) bonus for Elemental Shamans (http://www.wow.com/category/shaman/) reared its ugly head recently when a player attempted to use Elemental Mastery (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=16166). The bonus, which is supposed to reduce the cooldown on Elemental Mastery by 2 seconds each time Lightning Bolt (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=49238) and Chain Lightning (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=49271) is used, instead puts the 31-point Elemental talent on a whopping seven day cooldown. This is akin to the bug found with the Hunter ability Call Stabled Pet (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=62757), which puts the ability on an even more staggering 25-day cooldown (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=21627535071&sid=1).
Ghostcrawler immediately responded to the concern (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=22049521897&pageNo=2&sid=1#38) as raised on the official forums, stating that the problem happens only in cross-server instances and that raiding shouldn't be affected. Elemental Shamans sporting two pieces from the Frost Witch's Regalia (http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=893) would probably do well not to activate Elemental Mastery while in a dungeon using the Dungeon Finder (http://www.wow.com/tag/dungeon-finder/) until a fix is found. Ghostcrawler stated that Blizzard is working on the issue.Filed under: Shaman (http://www.wow.com/category/shaman/), Bugs (http://www.wow.com/category/bugs/), Odds and ends (http://www.wow.com/category/odds-and-ends/)
