Mystic regenerating ward buff bugged??

[Elslav]

<p>I am currently leveling a Mystic up and having a great time at it, but I have started to notice an issue with the regenerating ward buff Runic Talisman. Its at master 1 and should ward group for 122, which it does when I first cast it.  If I zone/log out it leaps down to 87 damage.  I tested all previous versions and they do the same, so is this a new bug? or a known issue?</p><p>As a note - my friend who is a Wizard and has the AA line for wizards that give a regenerating ward and its always lower than it should be after zoning/logging out also.</p>

<p>I've noticed this as well - long ago. I just recast it after each zoning. Knowing how much dev. attention our class gets I don't expect this to be ever fixed <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Yep, I've noticed this too. I've actually seen it change while I was casting the rest of my buffs, so I'd have to cancel it and re-cast it then too. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>I've noticed same problems with both shamans, mystic and defiler. Before zoning buff has ward amount like it should have according to spell description, after zoning it's undervalued. So I always have to recast it after zoning.</p><p>As well I recognized the changing while rebuffing completely. Other shamans I asked about it didn't recognized the bug. So only a few of us seem to be affected by it. Nevertheless I hope it will be fixed soon!</p>

<p>If I were to speculate about it, I'd say that the problem is related to how buffs are re-applied after zoning.  Whereas when you cast a buff, you have all your gear affecting the cast, when you zone, perhaps the buff is being reapplied before your gear is reapplied.</p><p>/speculation off</p><p>In any event, it must be a pretty rare bug, I've never noticed it.  Honestly, when mobs are hitting for 10k, my 300 HP Ward isn't really a big part of my arsenal.  I simply wouldn't have looked for it.</p>

<p>Looks like they fixed this with todays patch.  Everytime I zoned the ward would not go below min value like before but usually crit for more.</p>

<p>The worst part about this is I have seen the Defiler version as 30% of their heal parse in T8 raiding....with about 650hps by itself....</p>
