Blood Weapon Issue

[Viperz]

Hello I'm posting this in hopes to bring awareness to the devs as I'm sure this is not intended but their is currently an issue with blood weapon having some sort of delay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em92JdTqBgk&t=226s this video of mine is proof that their is a delay with blood weapon 2.5 gcd delirium u will always get your 5 blood spiller off in a delirium window with 2.5 gcd. Blood weapon u cannot get off 5 gcd with 2.5 gcd which makes no sense considering they are both 10 seconds each would like a follow up response as well from other players if they can show proof as to if this is intended or not or just bad ping etc. Please post a video of u being able to do this with 2.5 gcd if u can, or more proof to show that it is broken so devs can take care of the issue before savage content is released thank you.

Hey, great catch. I'm surprised no one else caught this! I've noticed this too and tried testing this in high latency and low latency environments but yielded the same results. Glad to have players like you take the time to bring attention to these little details that need fixing.

Kudos!

DRK suffers from ping issues, ifyou ping isn't good you have high chance to don't fit 5 hits on both delirium and bloodweapon, wich is hilarious the most simple version of DRK can be the most ping punished.

Acutally that sounds more like a broken Delirium, with a 2.5s GCD you shouldn't be able to fit 5 GCDs into that window.

Nevertheless, imho Blood Weapon is in need of a duration buff. AoE spells don't benefit from SkS and stay on 2.5s, you'll never be able to fit 5 AoE GCDs into that window.

I don't think it is broken, but I have noticed that you now seem to able to use procs (such as Delirium) right up until the last fraction of a second... which may have been a QoL change going into 5.0, as I don't remember being able to do this in 4.X (but maybe I just wasn't paying attention).

As for why Delirium works and Blood Weapon doesn't... It could be as simple as Delirium being a 'proc' vs. Blood Weapon being 'on-hit'; i.e. Delirium is 'checked' as you press the button (all good) whereas Blood Weapon is only 'checked' when the attack hits, which is possibly a fraction of a second later and by which point it has expired. This is just conjecture though, I have no idea how their engine actually works.

I think that is because Delirium has a way shorter animation lock than Blood Weapon or Inner Release. In 4.x Delirium just extended BW/BP duration, its animation barely noticeable. (tbh I wouldn't have known that DRK in the ShB job trailer used Delirium, it looks so "slightly")

Afaik if your GCD is not faster than 2.46s, you are not able to get 5 GCDs into a 10s buff window. Even 2.45s GCD is hella risky, as little lag spikes alone can rip away your chance of getting the 5th one in. 2.43s is more doable, but still requires good ping. 2.4s-2.37s is comfy.

Anyway, a 2.5s GCD build should not be able to get a 5th GCD into Delirium - unless the duration is longer than tooltip is telling us.
