What's wrong with Arcane Tempest (spell)?

[The Blonde]

I'd love to know what spells those are! That sounds like a bug!

These are my notes on the issue, aggregated from various reports. Please note I've never personally tested them:

Thorn Bloom, Meteor Swarm, Shadowblade (and maybe other spells too) deal 0 damage if you right-click-enable-Quicken on them, but work fine if you have Quicken on in general.

I can't remember if thornbloom was fixed. Thornbloom IIRC was created based on EBURST and this is a very old bug from EBURST where the animation would cancel the cast or something if the animation went off too quick. I suppose it is because EBURST required you to stand still or something? Maybe I'm off.

@The Blonde has listed the ones I remember.

I was gonna bring that up. Thanks!

Nothings wrong with AT... People saying it is, shouldn't be surprised when the Dev's mess with it, making it worthless.

This is why I stopped using quicken feat, too many spells(mostly AOE) getting interrupted and costing me SP and putting them on timer anyway

Many spells seem to suffer from soft targetting issues (looking at you Acid Well & Meteor Swarm)!

Oh yeah? Well I'm looking at Evard's Black Tentacles.. trying to self target that spell to deal with mob agro can be a gamble... sometimes it just WILL NOT cast where you want it to, despite selecting/targeting yourself and PoVing your shoes...
