    "Mobs whose run speed is equivalent to your run speed no matter how high your run speed is."

    That one is just hilarious :D One of the first times I was on the last stage I used the speed Sigil to avoid the Crem Guard.
    So I was using that Sigil to ran away from his fire. After a few sec´s I turned around and wanted to look where the Guard is, only to find out he is right behind me ready to do his fire attack again.

    I found the animation cancel video from Ch4mpTW

    I thought it showed latency but I guess not. In trials like HRC at prime time I'll see red cones that come come late, but I never see 0 animation. I only see that in Maelstrom.

    "vma is too unfair and thats why it needs nerf"

    every point you listed about the gameplay of vma is very easily bypassed by learning to play, you're just trying to rationalize your every death instead of thinking "how do i not *** up next time"

    cbf addressing your every point but i'll do a few

    shields? yeah, i've gotta use them. on occasion. you're wasting magicka overcasting instead of killing the *** that is doing damage to you. on round 5 my shields get cast when i legitimately need them- so not often.

    sure, round 5 is a dps race. however it's the only one, play mechanics. if you're thinking "well i can only do 5k for bosses and i play mechanics" no *** you're doing 5k

    i've been able to break free near instantly of round 5 fear and i have 250+ ping, yet it's apparently not quick enough?

    poison plants spawning under you? move.

    "B-BUT THEY ESPLODE TOO A QUICK FOR ME 2 DO A MOVE"

    the trigger radius is small enough to leave you space even if you're under a bubble. slow reaction time is not the fault of the arena's.

    gold ghosts cannot ever spawn on a mob, they spawn from the edges of the arena.

    tl;dr vma gameplay is fine, don't get mad, get better.

    The content is enraging thats for sure. Ice level is the worst with the repeated c.c.'s and fearing. Not to mention all the incoming damage thats almost impossible to mitigate even on a magicka build and still find time to do damage. Ive made it down to the last iceburg a couple times but i feel by that point im overwhelmed by incoming damage thats to great to mitigate.

    This Angirgoth seems to do this quite a bit, not always but repeatedly noticeable. Other mobs can do it as well, but this one seems exceptionally bugged. For me when it happens my fps and ping is stable. It isn't always like this either, some days are better than others. Tonight for example I and a guild mate had to rage out of vma due to fps lag and mobs killing you with no animation.
