Battle Visage Disconnects
Perhaps the biggest issue is that Evokers have developed an alarming tendency to disconnect, randomly but consistently as often as every few minutes. While some players have attributed this to a range of things including abilities like Deep Breath and Hover, the current prevailing theory is that the frequent disconnects are caused by visage form and/or appearance changing toys, though it's difficult to confirm whether just one or several of these things contribute to the issue.
Have been playing an Evoker, Druid and Monk this season.
Evoker gets disconnected and sent to WoW login screen at a frequency of every 5-10mins.
No issues at all with Druid or Monk. Is this a known issue atm with Evokers or something else?
And just for good measure… everytime I relogin after this happens, my skyriding style is set back to old school flying…
It’s confirmed by Blizzard via private channels that it is Battle Visage related. The symptoms are very simple:
Battle Visage is active
you disconnect when pressing or during movement of Hover, Deep Breath, or its landing
rarely during glide too
sometimes while casting Hover during Disintegrate (no movement besides starting to hover)
Addons or CVars are not related, UI resets are not needed.
A user on the official forums has also relayed that Blizzard is aware and working on a fix, though there is precious little information to share, other than again highlighting Battle Visage as a likely culprit. The Evoker Discord similarly advises that players disable Battle Visage in their spell book until a fix has been confirmed, restricting Evokers to their dragon form.
Persistent Duplicate Disintegrate Beams
Another interesting, and only somewhat less invasive bug is the persistence of Disintegrate beams, with Evokers permanently channeling creating two, three, or more disintegrate beams which simply never go away. This also anecdotally appears to be more common in Visage form, though that may just be incidental.
As an Evoker, sometimes during combat - after combat - or just randomly when you run past a deceased mob, the Disintegrate visual will form between your chest and the mob. It is a permanent channel until you are approximately 500 yards away from the target… it’s wild. And it’s super annoying in combat especially because it makes it difficult to see when you are actually channeling at that target. Happens in both Dracthyr and Battle Visage, but seems more frequent in Visage. Please fix. Thank you.
As relayed on the official forums, the beams do seem to break upon target despawn or moving ~500 yards away, though players may get quite the eye full until then. Unfortunately, these persistent disintegrate beams don't actually disintegrate anything, though if you combine it with the Rainbow Generator, you may be able to create your own personal mobile rave party!
