Incinerate Arrow broken?

Ok, this skill is broken and doesn't work at all, its suppose to do the samething as Incinerate, but able to be turned on or off... But the skill doesn't work. I tested it out and even looking at it in the ability editor it is missing all of the damage fields that incinerate has...

Is it possible to change incinerate into an on/off skill? I messed around in the ability editor but I've been unable to do it... Since the Incinerate arrow skill is busted I'd like to turn the actual incinerate skill into a skill that can be turned on or off.

Many changes to Warcraft mechanics are related to melee gameplay. Incinerate was added to Firelord as passive ability, but it made him too imba being able to cast damaging silence, summon 7 elementals at time and incinerate. So in one of the patches (1.18?) Blizzard changed Incinerate to be arrow ability.

The trick is - Incinerate Arrow uses Incinerate ability fields... so modify Incinerate to modify arrow

But how come when I give incinerate arrow to another hero then it doesn't work at all?

No idea right now, check if there isn't some additional dummy incinerate abilities, check if there is no tech requirements, try to mimic Firelord as possible

It just doesn't work. Nobody is really sure why. It's a Blizzard issue. I've managed to acquire a triggered effect (in a private modification of WE) of the extra damage part of it, but I have yet to figure out how to trigger the explosion.

Hm well that sucks. I want to give it to my ranger hero because its a much more interesting skill then the lame flame arrows.

One thing I did notice that makes little sense to me... I started all my current maps under 1.20c, yet for some reason when I start a new map, the firelords default ability is Incinerate (arrow) yet in my current maps his default ability is just "Incinerate"

The skills itself however are identical between maps.

Sounds like theres a bunch of hardcoded programming in there, i'd guess Blizzard got lazy.

Fixed, all you need to do is start a brand new map, copy n paste incenerate arrow from that map, to any map as a new custome skill and it'll work fine for any hero.

So, I guess they fixed that issue in a recent patch?

Good thing they don't tell us about these things.
