uhh those are 2 separate things... and I think a lot of you are getting it confused, not me.
so your telling me that they added the possible bonus tick, even though it happens every time no matter what?
I thought they just fixed the correct amount of ticks on spells (not talking about any bonus ticks, just the proper amount of ticks without any bonus ticks)...
and the possible bonus tick (when timed with the server, which would happen rarely, not every time) still needs to be resolved.....
and that still doesn't explain what he meant by "Base 15" when Cleary its 16 ticks...
You think that every single test you did was somehow magically timed perfectly with the server to activate this possible bonus tick???????
if that's how they actually implemented, then this is a HUGE fuck up!
I thought they were just correcting the proper amount of ticks because splurt was already 1 tick short even without cinsidering any bonus tick.......

Right now, you always get the bonus server tick. That's how the patch was implemented for the time being. Every spell's base ticking is 1 less than how many ticks it gets, because the recent patch introduced this. I am guessing that rather than trying to work out the mechanics of simulating the sometimes bonus tick, they just gave every spell one extra bonus tick to simulate this. Also note, it wasn't that rare. It was quite common.
The base ticks for Cessation is 10. But it ticks 11 times because of the server tick.
The base ticks for Splurt is 15. But it ticks 16 times because of the server tick.
The base ticks for Splurt, prior to the server tick that was added in the last patch, needs to be 16. There should be a 203 tick as a final tick.
The extra tick that was added in this last patch is a separate deal from Splurt having too few ticks. Splurt never ticked just 15 times, as prior to this server tick, it was always a 16 tick. This patch, in other words, made Splurt tick its proper base amount, but it doesn't get a bonus server tick like the other dots.
If we are going to say that Splurt is where it should be, ticking 16 times, then other DoTS out there is ticking 1 too many times. If we say that every other DoT is ticking the right number of times (taking the server tick as granted, 100% chance), then Splurt is ticking 1 too few times.
