Change "animation locks" (makes the game too slow)

[Tint]

I never understood this. You are out of the AOE by about 5-10 paces and you still get hit. I thought it was just on my end. huh!!

all i can say is that i had massive problems with dodging aoes on my old PS3. the day i got my PS4 i was suddenly able to avoid all the attacks. same internet, same server, same me, just a new console. and that was when the EU servers were still placed in NA (i am from Germany). so it can be on your end. there also is a delay between your system and your monitor. many TVs have an option for "Gaming" in the settings, wich reduces the delay.

today on my PS4 with the EU servers placed in my country i have like 0 lag with aoe markers. sure, the skills are still delayed. but i have noticed when you cast stoneskin the buff-icon in the party list pops up imediately after the cast ends, before the animation.

Hallowed Ground really has no business taking so long to trigger when Holmgang and Living Dead don't take any longer to go off then standard defensive cooldowns.

Granted, they don't make you totally invincible, but they still keep you from dying in emergencies and let you soak attacks you wouldn't have any business surviving otherwise (And have a lower cooldown to boot).

You CAN make 2 people impervious to all incoming physical damage with cover tho. That also may have some impact.

Cover is only physical, I mean that's still pretty good but it does definitely cut down which circumstances that would be useful (physical immunity, but wait the boss damage abilities are all magic! lol).

Because using deathflare makes you turn to face the target lol

I agree, I really like a more detailed answer by development why that exists.

Ok doing dun a bit ago (v3) reminded me of something that drives me nuts with the delays. So here I am casting ruin 3, turn, while walking back when I death flare, all used before the bar got full and my back to diabolus. So why am I getting hit with sleep?

In ARF, I can go in the black hole thing, get pulled up, get feathered effect on my stats, and still get hit by that move the boss does to make you mini, etc. Adding delays does not make this game playable at 200-220 MS, it makes it infuriating to those that try maximize DPS. Is there a way to check ping/ ms values though the game itself?

Without seeing it, all I can say is you turned around at the wrong time. Game mechanic comprehension helps

SE: "...game to be optimal at any ping under 220 ms..."

Any raider: "...sub-90 at a 2.4 GCD or you'll be clipping on any double-weave, and even certain single weaves, which will be far from optimal."

pretty much =/ There been times I should have been hit but didn't because of this too. Sometimes you have to try doing that with quick follow ups this game throws at you at times.

Player base and the Dev team def have different views on what is considered "playable"

me and a friend did MSQ roulette not to long ago (keep in mind this is her speaking about the second skip pull where you need to sac):

"So I got stun like usual, and like usual, I spam hit living dead. Well it was used but I died. I released with it being on CD. Again this is more "animation locks" or "processing lag" that should not exist in the game. If the game claims I did not used it, it should not be on CD, If I did use it, I have a right to the effect. Also when I hear blizzard III cast.. how come I do not get my umbral ice effect?"
