4.0.6 Haste Issue

[Shadowwolf]

[blizzard author=Bashiok link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046736421?page=1]An apparent last-minute bug which was not found on the PTR before the patch was finalized has caused the client and server to disagree on the way haste affects resource generation. This bug will manifest itself in the UI showing a player they have enough resources to use an ability, but the server correctly prevents it as they in fact do not. A death knight for example might see a rune light up that isn't actually available so when they use the ability, it won't fire. A rogue may think they have enough energy to use Sinister Strike, but they can't actually afford it so when they push the button, they will get an error. This bug could affect rogues, death knights, hunters and Feral druids, because these characters all gain more resources from haste. It will also affect buffs that affect attack speed, such as Slice and Dice, Windfury, Icy Talons, and Hunting Party, but also attack speed lowering effects like Thunder Clap. We're currently working on a fix.[/blizzard]

[blizzard author=Bashiok link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046736421?page=5#91]The Haste issue was hotfixed last night but unfortunately as all hotfixes are quick fixes on the live realms, there is some risk associated with them and a new bug has been introduced. We believe the extent is that rogues, druids, death knights, and hunters are now not earning resources from true haste (such as from gear). We expect to implement a fix late tonight or early tomorrow. Our apologies for any impact this may have on your regularly scheduled play.[/blizzard]

[blizzard author=Bashiok link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046736421?page=5#94]A hotfix for this issue has been applied but will require off-peak rolling restarts to pick up the change. For this hotfix and others stay tuned to our official 4.0.6 Hotfix update blog - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2259389#blog[/blizzard]

Can't wait to see the "The Fix that fixed what the original fix broke will get fixed in the next set of fixes. Sorry if it caused a raid wipe."
