So, I just posted in the Bugs forum, I’m wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this as well.
During Stix, there is a bunch of stuff going on. And at a few points in the fight all of this will happen at once (adds spawn, Rolling Rubbish, new trash piles)
The worst I’ve experienced is dropping to around .5-1 frame per second which usually means I die. But last night someone in my raid group mentioned in Discord that their client crashed and they were DC’d mid pull during one of these high stress periods.
Initially I thought I just needed to upgrade my comp, it’s a few years old at this point. But with multiple people mentioning issues last night (others experienced incredible dropped frames other than the DC)
Has anyone else experienced this? And I’m not asking those of you with incredible hardware, because not all of us can afford to upgrade our comp’s regularly.

You know what’s funny…. Since you made a thread about this sucker….
On my Monk, if I get targeted to turn into the wheel/ball…. and I use “Roll” right when it happens…. I roll around in place. Like, I don’t move.
At least when it timed out, I got back into the fight. It didn’t DC or crash me… just had me spinning in place.
It happened on accident the first time. I wanted to see if it would happen again, so I tried it on purpose, and it kept happening.
I wonder what it looked like to everyone else?
I felt bad because I was sitting there experimenting and being useless instead of taking out the bombs or crashing into the boss… but… I had to see if it would keep happening.
Moral of the story - be careful if rolling around as a Monk and you get targeted for the ball/wheel mechanic

Wait, like the trash ball doesn’t move at all either?
So we just have a Raid Boss with multiple bugs that Blizz doesn’t seem interested in fixing?
Yeah. Me and the ball were spinning in place like a circus act.
At first I thought I maybe lagged … but everything was going on around me at normal speed. And when the ball timed out- I just appeared right where I was. No laggy yank back and forth.
And I tried it again and it happened again.
I didn’t make a bug report or anything. I always figure someone else must have noticed, or maybe I just broke the game. And we killed the boss while I was playing around, anyway. So it wasn’t game breaking.
Maybe the game can’t handle a Monk rolling while also rolling as a ball.
Our monk has reported this issue as well, constantly needs to be hit by another ball to be able to move. Haven’t seen the hard drops the OP has.
