Hey, my raid team has been experiencing almost unplayable frame drops whenever Aura Mastery is cast while Devotion Aura is the active aura. The FPS drops are at their worst around halfway through the duration of Aura Mastery.
Note: Occurs on every pull.
Video of the issue, happens 15 seconds into the encounter:

Looking at Warcraft Logs i’ve noticed that specifically during the Aura Mastery cast, an absurd amount of Devotion Aura applications are being put on every player in the raid which could be the cause of this issue.
Warcraft logs links showing Devotion Aura applications from 0:14 - 0:16 seconds into the encounter:
Amount of Devotion Aura applications per raid member: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YtL8Kvk4PMbq1V2X/#fight=17&type=auras&start=7259000&end=7260134&ability=465

Let me know if any additional info is needed.

I’m pretty sure it’s specific to having multiple paladins in the raid. When I was the only one in it was “ok” but with two its unplayable.

Yeah I believe that multiple paladins make it worse but also noticed with just a single paladin it’s still pretty bad.
Raid size + amount of paladins running Devotion Aura seems to affect how intense the performance drops are.

Experienced this in a heroic pug with another H-Pal last reset. Having to re-aura after another h-pal’s AM is already frustrating enough.
+1. I pressed Aura Mastery in my raid this week and everyone was lagging so badly that honestly it felt like it was making everyone take 15% more damage rather than reducing it because no one was able to press their abilities. It would be cool to know how we manage to go from having things that work to just a completely shattered mess. (Looking at you too Divine Toll targetting and Rule of Law range updating)
If we could get some insight or a solution to these gameplay disrupting bugs it would be much appreciated

I’m not sure how this isn’t a bigger priority. The lag makes the game almost unplayable for our raid with 2 holy paladins. We essentially have to choose between holy pally’s biggest raid defensive and 10 seconds of frozen screens.

Its been weeks and there’s still zero acknowledgement or bug fixes surrounding this? We’re still experiencing this too. It’s brutal.
54 days later and still no updates or even acknowledgement on this… this is getting really annoying
