I am wondering if there is a scripting problem right now. i have a friend who is frustrated in solos as a spriest getting insta kicked like split second he jukes. he was just telling me this and i am wondering if it is a issue right now. or if anyone has seen where someone is just doing way too good. like getting kicks quickly even if you juke.
There’s currently a colossal amount of server lag that might be affecting his reaction time
i haven’t ran into an obvious kickbotter/scripter since early wod
I’ve been running into kickbots and scripters since SL. Almost feels like honorbuddy kids are back…then again their 6 or 12 month ban wave has passed so wouldn’t surprise me.
I come across them every once in a blue moon.
Haven’t encountered one in Dragonflight yet, but still early days.
I ran into one recently after I swapped to using selfless healer over healing hands. Some random DH. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if he didn’t kick me in the first 0.05 of a 0.28 second cast. I started casting by him every time his kick was up to eat it for my team.
The good kick bots are pretty tough to pick out though. They tend to kick late in the cast instead of early so the mages can juke 4 or 5 times before they get kicked. The obvious ones are as soon as the spell starts casting.
this doesn’t exist that’s just a smart player
Seen one on snutz stream. I think he posted the video too. The guy automelded every time meld was up and snutz used axe toss he, without any delay 4 times in a row, melded.
the higher rated u get the better the dps get at kicking (doesn’t apply to solo shuffle)
a lot of the time, if you can spare the globals vs ranged kicks, its good if you know they’re looking for it to just cast cancel over n over til they miss kick; if you see the cast bar channeling you’ve already casted too long. i only really hard cast juke if i’m going like paralysis → song (juke toward end) → sweep → song ; and vs melee kick when they turn toward me for a dash/step/leap or w/e.
obviously scripts exist but we’re talking about like .001% when its more likely you’re just getting kicked by someone waiting for your cast bar on gladius.
It is happening more now that the gold farming isn’t as prosperous and carries are the new wave so ya its more than you think.
