Help, fps fine but character moves REAL slow in battle

[Orjanna-1570]

I started playing D3 again a few weeks ago, and every thing was fine, but now my character started moving real slow when fighting mobs. My frame rate is around 80-100. Nothing on my pc has changed that I am aware of.

Hi:

Remove your Stone Gauntlets and try again.

Best of luck in your games !

18) Character Moving & Attacking Very Slowly
Please check what you are equipping and what each item does. Some items have negative effects. If your character is moving and attacking very slowly then you have the Stone Gauntlets equipped which when you get hit, will slow your move speed and attack speed but you gain armor stack.

If you want to retain the benefits of the gloves (increased armour) but mitigate the detrimental affects (slowed movement and attack speed) then…

@Meteorblade-2266

Stone Gauntlets provide a benefit (increased armour) and a penalty (the slowed movement and attack speed). The intention is that you’re expected to utilise other items or abilities to remove the penalty but keep the benefit. For example…

1. Equip or Cube the Ice Climber boots
2. Use an Invigorating Gem at Rank 25 or higher
3. Maintain 100% up-time on your class’s uber-ability, e.g. Wrath of the Berserker on a Barbarian, Akarat’s Champion on a Crusader, and so on.

Thank you so much for answering! It never dawned on me that attacking 20% slower would have me almost standing still. There off and it’s fixed

Hi again,

@Orjanna-1570

Thank you so much for answering!

You’re welcome !

It never dawned on me that attacking 20% slower would have me almost standing still.

That’s because the penalty can stack up to 5 times.

The power of the Stone Gauntlets says : “Getting hit increases your armor by 50%, but reduces your movement speed by 15% and attack speed by 20%. This effect stacks up to 5 times.” If you get hit 5 times, your movement speed is reduced by 75% and your attack speed is reduced by 100% – i.e. you cannot attack and will be moving very very slowly.

There is an icon above your skill bar that indicates how many hits you’ve taken:

In any case… yeah… taking them off is one way to sort the issue.

Best of luck in your games !
