Talents updating spells

[Tidus]

I've run into an issue and I'm hoping someone here has an idea of what's going on.  Here's the issue.  When using a talent, like Improved Fireball (12341), it lowers the cast time of the Fireball spell (133), but when you hover over the spell in-game it doesn't show the correct cast time.  For example, Fireball has a cast time of 1.5 seconds.  If I change the value of the talent from 500 to 1500, it becomes instant cast.  And it functions as an instant cast in-game.  So I know the talent is applied properly.  But hovering over the spell still says it's a 1.5 second cast time.

Any clue?

Did you provide the DBC for your local client ? Did you clean your cache ?

That's irrelevant, but yes I did.  It's irrelevant because in the dbc the reduction is already 500 (0.5 seconds) anyway.  So even if I didn't replace the local dbc and clear cache, I'd still see a reduction from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

Anyone with any other idea?

Desperate for a fix here...

You should change the value of the 81 column spell 12341. This is the column that reduces the cast time of spell 133. Try to -1001 in this column it should reduce the cast time of 1 second.

Vous devriez changer la valeur de la colonne 81 de spell 12341. C'est cette colonne qui diminue le temps d'incantation du spell 133. Essayez de mettre -1001 dans cette colonne cela devrait diminuer le temps d'incantation de 1 seconde.

That's not the issue.  The talent decreases the spell casting time correctly.  The issue is that it doesn't display the updated cast time when you hover over the spell.  For example, if I reduce the cast time by 1 second (from 1.5 seconds down to 0.5 seconds), the spell still displays a 1.5 second cast time even though when you cast it the cast time is actually 0.5 seconds.

Is it working for existing talents? If yes, try to replicate that talent and compare it to the working version.

The talents work, yes.  But they still don't display the correct (talented) cast time.

So it does not even work for existing talents, not only yours? Did it work on live servers? Have you asked your server provider if that's a bug on their side? Does it work on other servers?

I was using an existing talent in my original post, but yes it doesn't work for any talents I tried.  I tried the lower cast time talents for Druid's Healing Touch and Wrath spells, Mage's fireball and frostbolt spells, and Priest's Smite spell.  Yes, the talented spells correctly display the updated cast time on live servers.  I'm using a Jeutie's Repack and haven't asked him, but it also happens when compiling a new server rather than a repack anyway.  I logged in to Molten WoW and it works there.  I'm guessing they coded it server side.  Because there's no patch for 3.3.5a there, which means it used my same spell.dbc in my patch as far as I'm aware.

It looks like you are using an old version of your server, or molten wow uses a different server.

It's not the core.  Or, rather, the most up to date Trinitycore compile has the same issue.

Did you post a bug report on their site?

[Tidus]

It looks like I skipped over one key point.  I was testing this on a Hunter.  When tested on a mage (class disabled on my server initially), it worked.  It appears the issue was that it won't display if your class is different from the class mask of the spell in the spell.dbc.  It would still apply the spell; it just wouldn't display.
