the gist is in the title, but to elaborate
i was running torghast a couple days ago, before i got any upgrades from the Box of Many Things, and i had zero lag issues. now today, after i got the Efficient Looter upgrade, torghast is nigh unplayable when large packs are pulled.
i can see everyone else running around just fine but as soon as mobs start dying everything freezes until its done autolooting. i can move somewhat, i assume im rubberbanding to others though, but i cannot cast spells or anything while mobs are dying and the system is autolooting. this lag was reported in party chat by another member of the group i ran with; however my partner who DOESNT have the talent experienced no lag whatsoever and we are in the same house with the same internet so that rules out my local internet as the problem.
this happened in the two separate wings available so it wasnt an issue with the floor itself.
Please fix this bug soon or at least disable that talent in the meantime because this is severely impacting my enjoyment of and ability to play torghast.

Same issue. I cannot cast while the auto loot is doing its thing.
Ohh man, I was gonna pick up auto looter this week but maybe I’ll hold off. Does it loot while in combat or does to wait till the end of the fight? I’m assuming it must do it while fighting and if a group does at once that’s causing the issue.
Do you run some type of bag sorting add-on?
hold off on it, looting happens in combat the moment things start dying and if a lot of things are dying at once dont expect to be able to do anything for a good five to ten seconds at least, no exaggeration
You could try using an addon to speedup looting time. I use LeatrixPlusTools to do this, but I think there are other addons that do this as well. I did a run with Efficient Looter and didn’t see the lag issue despite doing big pulls.
It’s only a problem when playing cross-realm. You were probably at home.
this is a HUGE deal when you fel rush through a big pack. You come out the other end, and nothing happens for 10 seconds… monsters dont even realize you are right next to them at the end spot of your fel rush, until it catches up.
I’m the same, its horrible since getting that autoloot “perk”.
Are there any fixes yet? Its making torghast so hard for me as everytime mobs die, i cant cast anything at all.
I can’t do torghast at all. I’m a healer and my casts only come in after I have looted everything…. Please fix this Blizz.
I’ll add to this list myself, its a real big issue and Blizzard seems to not understand that we’re NOT them with whatever hardware it is that makes them play their game swimmingly and without issue. I mean, I really hope that they do have that mindset but for most of the cases here, this is really awful, especially as Enhancement Shaman, most of my attacks just drop dead because of it.
Yeah, they really need to fix this and stop putting blame on us when their game is not currently made to handle this. Its just weird that looting corpses automatically is causing so much lag.
same issue, cant do lce Lance when it is looting
Same Issue, unplayable with efficient looter when joining a cross realm team that is not OCE.
unfortunate to know that this is STILL a bug after *checks calendar* nearly a month? and no acknowledgement that its being looked into either from what i know
Honestly, I just want Blizzard to be allow us to have an “On/Off” feature for this particular power… It would solve a lot of issues and give me more enjoyment rather than slaving away in Choreghast.

I notice looting in Shadowlands in general causes this big lag spike if I try to run away quickly after looting, which was not the case in a prior patch. So I think this issue in Torghast is part of a bigger looting problem.

still no fix? Torghast is unplayable
Please let us turn off the efficient looter, holy moly, it makes it so unplayable for cross-realm - decreasing engagement.

It’s been more than a month since I submitted a ticket and got a bland reply, and this still isn’t fixed? I asked for an ability to remove this power from my character outright, not even a system in game for respec, and that wasn’t even entertained either. I stopped playing for a month, and this is still a thing. How is this acceptable? Not even a band-aid solution to a game-breaking bug like this…
