I can not believe nobody has noticed it but me. For those of you who have the mark of the wild talent increase, try checking your stats when you cast it. You do not get the increase after you cast the spell. IE my Mark of the Wild talent is level 4 wich gives a certain percentage increase to my attributes given by mark of the wild. The problem is you do not get the increase after you cast the spell. Mine does lets say +4 to all attributes and 120 to armor at its base level. with the increase its supposed to be +5 to all attributes and 160 to armor. when i drag my mouse over the spell it shows it with the increase from my talents, however after I cast it it only shows up at my base level on my active spells icon. I have tried this on many different machines both with and without cosmos. Every time I try to post it to blizzard it never shows up.

Just something to think about and bring to their attention.

IIRC, they've acknowledged the biff icon doesn't show the adjusted value. Check the stats on your character screen - they should be correct.

You do get all of the effects of your imp motw.

The only bug is that the buff icon doesn't show it. If you look at your ac before, and your ac after, you will see that you are getting your 35% bonus from imp motw.

Resistances too, at level 60 my motw gives +27 to all resistances. But highest level only gives 20. The extra 7 is my 35% boost.

And this applies to all talents and such that leave an icon up. Buff icons are static.

A true bug with the talent increases that I've noticed is when you zone into an instance, your talent increases will not remain for the Mark. I.e., you have to cast a new mark once you "zone."

Hm, interesting. If that is the case, that would be a real bug in need of a fix soon. I'll be going instancing tonight so I'll have a look at it myself.

That is a similar bug to the one that afflicts hunter's Aspect of the Hawk.

Blizzard is "aware of the problem", but there isn't a fix in the works yet.

The Hawk bug is different, and worse. With the Hawk bug, if you log off with Hawk on there is a chance that when you log in your attack numbers will be off. If you remove Hawk, your attack numbers will then decrease to BELOW what they normally are unbuffed. Hunters have to remove the buff before logging out or go through a whole login/logout process to get their stats back to normal.

I don't think that Mark does THAT - the talent additions to the buff simply don't translate when you zone.

Hawk bug was also hotfixed, though it did end up nerfing them some out of the deal too.
