Ground abilities lagging/stalling?

JKith

Hey all,

I have the ground abilities setting set to automatically engage so I don't have to push the button twice.. for example on Endless Hail or Shards.

What i've noticed is during my rotation, the ability will stall or get stuck for 1-2 seconds then it fires off after the ability I initiated after the ground one. (hope this makes sense)

This little glitch is clearly reducing DPS since the character is basically immobile for 0.5 to 1 seconds unable to do anything...

are any of you getting something similar? and if so, how to you work around this?

Thanks.

Yes. I'm guessing you're on console. If not, I am. (PS4) happens to me a lot actually. It's super annoying especially now that I've been using my healer.

As soon as my grothdarr procs my screen stutters for two to three seconds every time.

Same for many of my Magicka Templar abilities.

Don't even get me started on destro ult lol

PS4 NA also...

Illustrious Healing on Xbox for me does this.

I'm on PC/Mac and it happens... any ground ability stalls maybe 6 times outta 10 for what feels like almost a whole second.

On PC/NA. I have this issue constantly on my sorc with liquid lighting. I will just sit there and spam the button and nothing happens. I usually have to bar swap and cast a few skills for it to start working again.

From a pure functionality standpoint as a PVE DPS, this game is in the worst place its been since launch. I could write a book on the daily bugs I encounter that cause you to break your rotation for a few seconds to deal with. Skills dont fire, your weave stops working, your staff justs starts charging heavy attacks mid rotation, etc. It's a total mess. But hey, lets bring on housing.

This just started happening to me today with endless hail and eruption, haven't played my sorc today, so can't say for LL. It's annoying af though, seriously screwed up my deeps in sanctum.

Yeah, it's a serious DPS loss... i'm considering trying to change the settings to not autocast ground abilities... I'll have to test if double tapping would actually be a benefit since the autocast of ground abilities seems to be broken...

Forgot to say, I still double cast and it still bugs out.
