Arcanist Crux Falling Off Giving Me Motion Sickness

Its every 30 seconds, these slow moving green triangles drop off, and give me the absolute worst motion sickness Ive ever had.

If these green triangles would just stay there after generating them, I don't think Id have this terrible motion sickness. Really is a shame, such a great company like ZoS,, can;t find a solution to these slow moving green triangles from dropping off every 30 seconds. Really discriminating against us prone to motion sickness.

ive also noticed the class seems to not be able heal, tank, or do damage when these little green triangles fall off. It might be a bug or something, the devs should probably look into it. Its almost like the class was originally designed to consume these slow little green triangles at the players leisure, and that them falling of every 30 seconds breaks the core functionality of the class.

    As clearly as OP is lying, it would be better if the Crux just went invisible after 30 seconds or however long. Or they could minimize somewhere and stop moving but still be visible.

    They changed the crux to drop after 30 seconds not in combat. It's in the patch notes.

    And if your post was about pvp, you should have stated so.

    And if your post was about pvp, you should have stated so.

    In pvp, you fights are typically spaced more than 30 seconds apart. With this change, Arcanist have no burst heal, no real shield size, nor any damage at the start of any engagement. So they are stuck spending 2x-3x spamble just to get to the same power level as other players, while also having to pre-buff like every other class. It puts them at time and resource disadvantage in every fight, makes them more susceptible to burst damage (ganking), while simultaneously making them have weaker burst damage (something the class already struggles with, its non-existent).

    It effects PvE as well, all bie it, to a lesser extent. But the devs accessibility change, completely changed the core functionality of the Arcanist class design, without adjusting the rest of the class for the change. Now they remain silent. Its unacceptable, and they know it, hence why they continue to remain silent on it.

    what patch notes says: visual indicator will time out after 30s out of combat for crux.

    what patch actually did - crux has a permanent, 30s duration per whole stack that is refreshed when crux generation skill is used in combat. You can spend 30 seconds in combat when not generaing crux and it will still fall off despite being still in combat.

    Personally, maybe it is because I don't pvp on my arcanist, but I don't have much of issue with the fact that crux is now timed, I could live with that. I do have an issue that that actuall change is nothing alike to how patch notes described it.
