Nightblade ability delay

egosumacunnus

After cloaking i get a 1 second ish delay before i can use another ability is this happening with all classes and is it a bug or a new "feature"?

Zubba

I get that and usually longer with any ability since 1.1.2

TheAmu

I just thought it was lag on my end

egosumacunnus

Aha thought i was imagining it got longer after v1.1.2..

So anyone know of it is deliberate or not?

frwinters_ESO

they added a small global cooldown i believe. I see it on my LUI mod when you cast an ability. Its very short though

It seems when I solo, my cloak works fine for the most part (though sometimes it "breaks" for no reason)... However, when I'm with a grp of other players or doing a dungeon in a group, there seems to be "lag" between using cloak and activating another skill... And it seems cloak breaks more frequently around other players

Liquid_Time

The delay is long enough for you to dance around the player while they are stunned... Very annoying IMO, but my question is.. was it intended? If so, can someone please post some info from the source? Thanks-

Pretty sure its a GCD now on every ability. Probably in an attempt to end animation cancelling.

Happens on all my characters.

SecuFox

I can confirm this problem. I too thought that it might be lag or high latency.

I have noticed the same thing.

I will create a CS ticket and report back.

Seeing this on my nightblade as well - virtually all abilities feel sluggish, confirmed good connection via manual pinging - running off of a solid state drive with 32gb of memory and a current gen i7, seriously doubt it's my hardware / connection.

Combat responsiveness is significantly worse after the latest patch for all 4 classes. It sometimes takes 3 or 4 attempts to activate a skill before it finally goes off...and sometimes it never goes off. This problem has been sporadically an issue for me for awhile, but after this last patch, it happens often enough to make combat almost impossible.

Bromburak

The old problem of non responding NB skills has been fixed already.
But since the last patch there is a new bug where certain skills have delays, no matter what class.

Agreed - I'm beginning to adapt to the sluggishness, but it's a slow process, and makes the cadence of combat and rotations obnoxious. Skills tuned to stun / disable / execution times become underpowered when it takes such a long time for them to complete / activate.

It seems to me that a change such as this is due to a short internal GCD in an attempt eliminate ability misfires, or action jamming (Using too many things consecutively without waiting for animation / visual response used to disable all abilities, ran into this a few times, not sure if it was common.)

If this is the case, it's not working :P

Covyn

It's all classes, severely more noticeable after this weeks patch.

Maybe you used a DOT on the enemy. Currently cloak is bugged in a way that makes it break when your own DOT tick damages an enemy.

Yup I mentioned this 3 days ago after the last maintenance patch, the delay is very obvious.

Heishi

I don't know about others, but I've always had issue with a delay after using cloak. It has seemed to become worse though.

You should see all the crazy GCDs they added to Templar abilities like solar flare, Biting Jabs, and Crescent Sweep. Seems like sometimes you can bypass them by pre-queuing the next skill and sometimes you can't. Really poor documentation and implementation of these changes. Probably just coding mistakes they don't even know about because they don't bother to test anything properly.

I swear, if there's one thing that makes me want to quit instantly now and then, it's losing a totally winnable fight to input lag. Glad to hear it's not just me, though.

I read that too, and that may be part of it (I frequently will hit with a bleed before I cloak/stun)... but there are instances in group dungeons where I 100% did not use any bleeds and have been instant de-clocked. It's not as consistent as the "lag" (lag that only happens to my nightblade in combat, none of my other 2 toons), but it's frequent enough to make me constantly aware of it.

Loco_Mofo

Wow I assumed it was just lag on my end too.

What a joke. Weapon swap delay and now skill delays.

tengri

So that's what this is!
Feels like fighting in molasses... WTF?
REVERT THAT *** NOW!

Tavore1138

I have noticed this, used to be I would put on the cloak and then use the suprise attack morph but now i sometimes exit cloak before I can trigger it and I even have both levels of the passive that extends shadow abilities.

Hilgara

This, coupled with the targeting bug that appeared in the last patch (miss half the time even when cursor is bang on target) makes me wonder just who is making these changes. I bet they play a PvP sorc.

Tavore1138

So it's not just me watching my weapons pass harmlessly thru monsters that are right in front of me?

Zero_Tolerance

I wanted to /nerdrage about the issue a bit, but there's this thread already. I'll just /sign it then.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing this strange situation.

As you've stated, and the patch notes suggest, there was no skill delay implemented, so it is very likely that you're experiencing a bug.

In any case, I'll be forwarding your message to our wise scholars, so that they can further investigate this situation, and let you know what exactly is going on with your skills.
