He pretty much tried to play it off like it worked and told me something along the lines of "let me refer you to our website for an answer to this issue". What does that even mean?! Every damn post on the shaman class forums is about how WF is broken. Do they not even read these posts?? Or even worse just blatantly ignoring us? It was pretty disappointing and disheartening to say the least. I really hope the devs can find time to fix this issue. It's crazy that it is broken in the first place. End rant.
That is unfortunate to hear, but keep in mind the GM and dev team are separate entities. So it's evident you spoke with a GM who wasn't in the loop and uneducated on how windfury is supposed to work. The devs certainly know that windfury is broken, and has known since the status of a ticket on the bugtracker got changed to confirmed (seen here
https://report.nostalrius.org/plugins/tracker/?aid=1242 ) spanning back 9 months ago.
On a side note, aimed towards other posts as well, this thread was created to bring up the windfury bug in a logical manner while politely reinforcing the high detrimental effect it has on the vanilla shaman experience. Please keep dev bashing to an absolute minimum because realistically 99% of Nost is blizzlike and works perfectly, which is a testament as the Nost team seems relatively small. With enough community support, hopefully we'll see an expedited resolution for windfury.
I appreciate the high support we've already continued to muster and am sure it will continue to increase. Please bump the thread showing additional support and / or comment on something you may think is useful in getting this fixed.
