[Bug] Demon Hunter – Skill icons remain grayed out while channeling Strafe after latest update (IOS)

In addition to a description of the bug you are reporting, please provide:

Device Type: Iphone
Device Model: 15
Device Operating System: IOS
Diablo Immortal App Version: Latest from today

Before today’s update: While channeling Strafe, my other skills would light up immediately when their cooldowns finished.

After today’s update: While channeling Strafe, Multishot, Spinning Chakram, Vengeance, and other skills remain grayed out even after their cooldowns have finished. The skills are actually ready, but the UI doesn’t update until I stop channeling Strafe.

Platform: IOS Mobile app

Yep, I’m seeing the same thing with my DH. Haven’t checked my other characters that also use channelled skills, but I would think that this is normal. I mean, while you are channelling, you can’t use other skills, that would be why they are grayed out, no matter if they are in cooldown period or not, IMO.

It wasnt like that before the update it makes no sense to me, The overlay isnt needed for anyting. Just making my build harder to play..

Channeling Strafe lock out your other skills completely now, and darkens them through so you can’t see when they come off Cooldown.

This needs to be patched and fixed. Thanks

I honestly don’t remember if, before the update, other skills like Multishot or Vengeance could be used while channelling Strafe, so I can’t say for sure, but I’d swear that it wasn’t possible and you had to briefly stop channelling.

And if it’s only about not knowing when those other skill can be used again, there’s a count-down that, even when grayed out, can be seen while using Strafe, at least on PC.

In any case, we can only wait and hope that a developer will see this report and maybe give an answer.

Well, so I checked right now with my Barbarian and while using Whirlwind (Channelled), the other skills like Wrath of the Berserker are also grayed out. Again, I can’t say if this was different before the update, never paid attention to it.

There was an issue with the previous patch that allowed you to use other skills while channeling which would then cancel the channel. It looks like they added a secondary ‘block’ shading to the skills making the numbers harder to read

Was not like that before todays new patch so they did change someting about channeling skills and that makes all other skills greyed out even when that skill cooldown is finished, cant see anyting about this change in the patchnotes so hopefully its a UI bugg and can be hotfixed? Thanks Blizzard Mods

This isn’t a bug. If anything - it’s actually a fix and you think it’s a bug because it wasn’t fixed for some time.

The design intent is to darken and :prohibited: over the skills across all classes. But because you’ve been seeing it not like that for some time now, this looks like a bug. Everything is working as intended. :blue_heart:

It is too dark though, it darkens when you use the skill then it darkens the number counting down when the channel is being used. So you can’t actually read the numbers counting down

Sent you a clip.

Well it’s way to dark now can’t see the cooldown timer can’t see if the skills are ready to use.

На варваре до обновления, возле было нормально, было видно кулдауны, теперь темные кружки, на манекене теперь даже урон падает, потому что просто не замечаешь, что кулдаун откатил

If its normal why did you put a white number in it if you cannot read it? Its awfull play like this now. Everyone will tell you the same thing… did someone care about this or someone of you think is better keep going like that, this way isn’t better for nobody, just for i dont know who of your team.

So you are telling the community that, becouse we are channeling we are not allowed to see our cooldowns… This is not getting any sense in any shape or form…its almost like racism… So at this point remove the number directly… Why not? Just keep a stupid light ping that is invisible with all light effect stimulation in fight… How to ruin the experience…thank you again blizzard, you never let me down in 24 years of giving you money, thank you , thank you.

ask the dev team to split the UI elements into separate Z-index layers, barbarian and demon hunter are affected.

Oh no, thats awful so many complaints on forum and discords and ingame all over the community.. Ofcourse you should be able to see clearly when other skills gets cooldown ready while channeling so u know when to cancell and add new round of skills for maximum dps..

Its way to dark to be able to see it after yesterdays update.. ruins the game and the experience to play..
