so today we tried “meta” GR140+ with supp monk, supp barb, WD trashkiller, wiz BK (+elites) and there’s lags everytime spirit barrage goes on. dmg is pretty good, no one had AD, but WD is glassy and wiz dies cuz of the lags. serenity+sanctuary dont help.
wizards are playing LoD build, they have to play new sets.
and season buff… i think it will be good, but not needed for wizz and WD. many friend said that the wi’ll not play season, cuz the season buff sucks.
but blizz want that players will play season, right?
sry for my english
This is a huge reason why starpact is so good. That and the damage it does.
Area Damage along with constant damage from AoE abilities causes insane lag. Starpact was a 1 and done every minute or so. This severely reduced the amount of stress on the game. Where as nearly all other trash clearers do constant damage. It’s just a mess.
I would almost wager that there will be a slightly different starpact build that does less damage, but it still does the job better in a non-channeling build.
agree, i played bazooka, but i want something new. or bats WD, something channeling, but without lags. but blizz dont care about lags, its because our net provider ofc
No, it’s because of the massive amount of strain aoe attacks with area damage cause to the server. There isn’t much blizzard can do to fix this unless they change the mechanics of said abilities like fire bats and whirlwind to not deal constant aoe damage
And what would happen if they changed the area damage for damage%? would the lag end? Would the community like the idea?
