So I have talked to some ppl in game and in discord and such with crashes "(including my own crashes in S6 near others with evade even though I was fine S0-5) and I think the SB evade build is the cause. I would not be surprised if Bliz is forced to do an emergency nerf of this build because it is LITERALLY breaking the game with calculations per second. They have said they would not nerf if at all possible because of power but this is different. This is breaking the game for other players if it is true.
IF it is not the cause of our issues on stability then it should be left alone for now.
IF I were you I would be very wary of buying expensive items for this build or you might be spending your money into a pit. They may be forced to nerf it especially if it becomes as popular as gold quill with a breakthrough in damage because damage is the only thing holding this back from being stratospheric.
Anyways those are my thoughts. Keep this is mind and have fun oth there.
Quill build is just meta, it doesn’t break server. If they do decide to fix the evade build, they better not indirectly nerf quill as well. As both are Eagle and lightening dmg
I dont think quill will get touched S6. Its out of control power but that is not reason to nerf it right now but breaking the game for others is and should be fixed if its the cause of these crashes and all the info I have gathered says it is for evade SB.
I was right and this build is now being nerfed in next patch for negatively affecting other players. I told you guys!!!

Just a quick update on some plans. We will have some additional client patches and hotfixes coming out this week. Some possibly as early as this afternoon/evening. These will hit on some crash related items and some of the hot button items from the weekend. We also looked at the Spiritborn’s Evade cast animations that some are employing in specific builds. This is a bug as the Spiritborn is able to break animation frames during Evade immediately. We will be fixing this so you won’t be able to Evade instantly during another one, and instead it will be normalized to the standard Evade cast rate in all situations. The reason why we are hitting this bug now (and some may have noticed) is that it is currently impairing other players and their experience in-game. We have mentioned before that if a build ends up impacting the experience of others, we may make changes immediately, and this is one of those instances. We expect this change to come in 2.0.3 later this week.
