    Strife weaving. It's bad, bad, bad, bad and buggy.

    MagNB is absolutely dependant on light attacks (the most among all magicka classes). Assassin's will procs, Infused staff with elemental glyph, siphoning attacks. When you have lower FPS levels or slower internet connection, you are screwed because Strife becomes mostly unweavable and you miss like 8/10 LAs. That will hurt your dps severely.

    That's what I hate and I am sure I am not only one. It's not right to design a class that can't be played correctly by all no matter how hard we try. My parses are good when my FPS is good (46k on target centurion with full group buffs) and horrible when my FPS drops down (30k at most on vet Rakkat).

    Agree about strife/funnel health weaving. Trying to do that in the middle of SO while its at 10fps is punishing. Other than that i love my mb and can run most content with it.

    Pretty much this. Fun but not great for trials when weaving is bad. Try it as an Aussie...

    Absolutely spot on.

    It's annoying how much ping affects Strife. Not to mention how it naturally has a screwy animation that messes up light-weaving.

    The only other issue I can think of is how Impale's projectile is quite slow, and has a sort of wonky timing when it hits. Might just be my ping or the fact I'm not used to it still. :P

    Use Force Pulse and Meteor then! Next patch you'll want to have the Asylum staff anyway, so Force Pulse will be mandatory. Plus it does more damage and is way easier to weave.

    Agreed, this is the only reason I miss force pulse times, but prob they will come back with the new staff, but I hope they will fix strife one day, but prob it will take them 3 years like with twisting

    THIS SO MUCH THIS! Exactly what I was going to say - and you cannot just train yourself because even small ping differential alters that weave SO SO SO MUCH omg. Because the ping for me is up and down by often more than 50ms it is just insane trying to maintain a good weave.

    I 100% agree to this.

    Also; it did not used to be this bad. I played a magicka NB since early access, and LA weave is normal for me. Something has changed- a lot of somethings I bet.
