Warlock>Lothar>Upheaval>BUG

Warlock>Lothar>Upheaval>BUG

Posted on Fri Jan 30, 2009 5:06 pm

Hi!

I think this is a bug, (if not pls correct me)

Since lothars work mostly on channeling spells like: frost nova, deathward, etc. well here's my problem---

When i cast Upheaval (the slow AoE) then i activate WindWalk from lothars...

Warlock stays invi, and continues to cast/channel the skill BUT
the Upheaval is gone. (note: he's still continues his animation "channeling")

I mean literally gone, as if he's casting for nothing!

tried it on the latest map 6.59

ICEFROG pls fix the bug ASAP!
Tnx a Lot!


ps. BKB>Upheaval still works perfectly, but since i made my build for lothars that's a different story

sorry don't have any, i don't know how to.

you can try it on a single player mode

then go for the lothars>upheaval combo...

I tried it(6.59), casted it from creeps(since there's no AI map available yet).

normal cast/without lothars = creeps are affected by slow effect

with lothars/ WW activated = Upheaval animation is gone, no effect on creeps whatsoever (but warlock channeling animation continues)

meh, upheaval is a bad skill anyway, it would be alot better if it slowed every unit in the area by a set amount instantly

Well that's one part of my question. IF it's considered as a bug.

For all I know is, it's channeling spell, and most channeling spells works perfectly with lothar's windwalk.

Maybe seldom people use lothars on warlock that's why no one notices it or maybe i'm the only one using it in him lol!

I hope the higher authority do something about this ASAP lol! so i can maximize my game with WARlock =D

I actually experienced the same thing with Vendetta last night. Normally you can start TP'ing and cast Vendetta so you're invisible when you get there, but it kept cancelling my TP - then I'd look like some idiot who uses Vendetta at base.

@^
It is important, stuff like this affects more than just Warlock - there's a list of skills which doesn't cancel channelling. Now I need to test everything to make sure. It's either a bug or one of those "silent changes" IceFrog makes sometimes.

Wow.. I guess this is a bug.
But anyways, nobody buys lothars on him. NOBODY!
And upheaval is seldomly used. >.<
But e-mail icefrog anyways :]

@kurtbean

I really doesn't use it with Warlocks ulti, but on his 3rd skill-- upheaval

@replies

Well it's not really that important in late game, but i find it useful in mid game.

I plan to use it (in clashes)with fatalbonds>rain of chaos>upheaval>lothar's combo.
then I'll switch my control with the Golem to help them pawn our opponents, (together with my teammates of course)

Also, warlock is a support hero which is always the focus fire of the enemy, so he can easily escape ganks.

Anyway, based on my previous games,I just disregarded the use of lothars coz i found out that linkens sphere is much better than lothars =D

And Warlock equipped with linkens, I find it fun catching elune's arrow, and saving my teamates from stuns lol
