Well of Precognition: This ability now applies distortion instead of blur and prevents capture-point contribution. Casting time has been increased from 0.25 seconds to 0.75 seconds, and aftercast delay has been reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0 seconds.

hi all, wanted to test how annoying 0.75s casttime instead of 0.25s is gonna be and noticed i can’t use this skill as a stunbreak anylonger, despite the fact that it clearly says it is one. anyone else noticed the same? toughts? :/

Incidentally, there’s also a “bug” involving Master of Fragmentation.
Normally, having MoF equipped grants reflect to all distortion you cause…whether from f4, Blurred Inscriptions, or the shared distortion in Inspiration.

However, Well of Precog distortion does not proc the reflect. It does proc the reflect if you share that distortion with Inspiration, but only for the 1s that you share.

Yes, it’s likely that reflect on non-shatter distortion was a bug in the first place, but it seems very odd that it would accidentally affect other sources of distortion…except for this one.

Also, shouldn’t sharing distortion proc 3 times with WoR, since it’s pulsing distortion 3 times rather than giving 3s at the start?

#facepalm….why would you increase cast time on a stun break to begin with? Why does a stun break even have a cast time? If you have already solved the problem with capture point contribution for well of precognition, why do you need to do anything to the cast time…much less make it longer…for an ability that was supposed to be a stun break? The logic with these changes does not exist sometimes.

Just wait. The mistake wasn’t the change it was the missing patch note.

That’s still a bug, is it not?
Basilisk venom isn’t supposed to reapply itself if you stunbreak it, as far as I know.

Ah, yes. In that case, a stunbreak wouldn’t help without multiple stacks of stability.
Those stupid inquest in Arah do the same thing.

Another bug, if you cancel the cast of well of precognition, it goes on full cd instead of 5 sec cd.

That’s so you don’t get a stunbreak on kitten cd.
Though, it makes it kind of ridiculous when WoP gets interrupted and you didn’t use it to break a stun…and it goes on full cooldown anyway. Would Power Block add 15s on top of that?
