Describe the problem

The countdown timer for Vexamus' frontal ability in Algeth'ar Academy is off after the first one.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Toggle on the countdown timer for Arcane Expulsion on Vexamus in Algeth'ar Academy.
  2. Pull the boss.
  3. Compare the countdown information to the actual cast of the boss. After the first cast, the accuracy drifts away until it is completely off.

I observed this bug on every pull consistently, including a pull yesterday on M+ (07 Jan 2023) and on normal today as a solo tank for testing (08 Jan 2023).

This spell isn't cast on a consistent timer unfortunately, so exact cast times will vary from pull to pull. In general timers which are approximate will have their times denoted with a ~ before the number.

That said I did several pulls between Mythic and Normal on this today and the minimum CD was 23.1 which both matches the minimum CD I can find in public logs and my own logs from Season 1. The maximum time between casts was 30.4. The previous minimum CD was from beta where I observed 19.4 both in heroic and mythic+. So seems like this spell's CD was increased slightly between then and now. There doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern for when or why the spell may be delayed, I suspect it's just spell queuing with higher priority abilities this boss casts.

I'll update the timer to 23.1 from 19.4. Thanks for reporting.

Here's the observed timers from my pulls today for reference:

Normal:

  • pull:12.3, 23.1, 26.7, 26.8, 23.1, 26.7, 23.1, 30.3, 23.2

Mythic:

  • pull:12.2, 26.3, 26.8, 27.2, 30.4, 23.1, 26.3
  • pull:12.2, 26.7, 26.7, 30.4, 23.1, 26.2, 29.7, 26.8, 30.4, 23.0

From reviewing logs a bit further it looks like the longer CDs are caused by Arcane Fissure casts, which adds ~3.6 seconds to all other CDs per Arcane Fissure cast.

Updated timers to reflect this in abb54c3.
