For the past few days I have noticed that when damaging an enemy the health bar does not update smoothly, many times the mob just dies with the health bar never reaching zero or updates once or twice. It used to be much smoother… every hit showed progressive drain of health bars. Damage text appears with lag as well.
I think its just lag but not 100% certain. Note that the latency in-game is reported to be 60-100msec and the delay observed seems longer than this…
Blizzard will not let me post a link or would share video of my gameplay.
This is literally an intended function of the barber heart. The damage gets absorbed over the period of time specified on the malignant heart and gets released at the end of that time period. If the damage you do exceeds the health of that enemy the health bar will disspapear and the collected damage will explode.
Yes, I thought I updated this thread but guess I overlooked. Good call on the barber, I did discover this heart and am an idiot as the mechanic was clearly the sourced of the this observed “lag”. Working as intended but definitely taking some getting used to.
