A major source of health desync issues stems from timing a perfect "medium" attack. This is very evident if you play dizzy swing and the overcomplicated offbalance mechanic.

What I think is happening is that there is a disconnect between the client and server when transitioning to a Heavy attack instead of being considered a light attack. If timed just right the client will consider my attack a light attack, and the server will consider it as a heavy attack.

Normally this is insignificant, however once you tack on countless proc sets, stuns(offbalance), and other effects you can pretty much kill targets by using a desync to bypass all of their healing and the server will decide to kill the target if you stacked enough damage in that instance.

An example would be the Vate 2h proc and crystal weapon. You build up stacks and then do a crystal > dizzy(offbalance) > hold light attack slightly longer to cause the desync. Then in one instance you would hit a 70% buffed "heavy" attack with crystal weapon with vate 2h for 25k or so.

---

This example combo is basically out of meta now because offbalance lost its damage bonus, rally is such a bad skill that nobody wants to run vate2h anymore, and crystal weapn has its damage spread out in an over complicated fashion aswell.

My suggestion is that you probably cant fix this issue since it is latency driven. In the case of dizzy swing it would be better to change offbalance and procs like vate2h to require a fully charged heavy attack and then give a damage boost to make your heavy equivalent to a dizzy swing damage wise. (bring back the 70% heavy attack damage for pvp so it is useful again) This is fine on a full heavy attack because the player wastes time and leaves themselves open.

Or just return dizzy swing to its previous design that people loved and had no issues with. 1.2s cast with high damage and knockup reward for leaving yourself open and skillfully landing the hit that was clear for enemies to counter with 6 average human reaction times available.

When you're hit by Dragon Leap, for the last 10 years, it locks your character up once it is cast, until the attacking players full animations are finished. Then you are cc by being thrown in the air. You can break free just before you hit the ground if the sever allows it. Not even scroll wheel bash can circumvent this if the sever doesn't like you.

I believe this is because, like many other buggy skills, there is no cast/wind up time. It's instant. Instant skills allow too many actions close together.

Similar damage ultimates that have cast times.
Radial sweep 0.4s
Death stroke 0.4s
Soul tether 0.5s
Beserker strike 0.4s
Lacerate 0.4s
Dawn breaker 0.4s
Meteor has a visual build up time before throwing you.

Remember how DB used to be before the cast time?

Actually this is due to leap failing to hit targets it otherwise should have. They changed leap to work like old gap closers. You can look up old pvp vids of ambush spammers. It used to be the ultimate Xv1 tool where if there was a 1vXer you would just spam gap closer over and over permanently locking them in place.

Not sure why, but leap couldnt be properly fixed so they just made it into the old gap closer rules. It probably has to do with a mixup between the single target and the aoe portion of the skill. Id think they could just make it like stampede, but then do an aoe at the final location...... I assume they already tried that though because it seems to make too much sense.

Rushing Agony set still pulls beyond its listed radius and through walls/terrain.

It also violates the Z-axis and can pull you vertically.

For the love of the divines, please make this damn thing "monsters only" already.

I also beg you to address this. For a New Zealand player on just over 200 ping, this set is insanely unpredictable combined with desync. It's crazy how often I appear to have been pulled from an objectively safe position, or from a long way out of its alleged radius. Dark Convergence has counterplay: Block, dodge roll back on the audio cue. You can almost always survive unless someone squishy dies next to you. There is no counterplay to Rush of Agony.

It makes the idea of having good positioning a bit of a joke, because the enemies have excessive control over where they are going to position you in the fight. On my ping, you can't even reliably LOS to mitigate. You will be pulled around, unpredictably, into groups of squishy players you would never voluntarily go close to, from positions that look safe and sensible.

It has some counterplay: block. Tho I gotta admit that I also hate the set

Except the counterplay should be: block, walk away with CC immunity. That's all the set needs; as has been said by many on here so many times before, just have the pull stick to the rules of every other CC in the game, and apply CC immunity.

10.3.3 Rushing Agony still bugged, in addition to being absolutely despised by all of PvP.

Sorcerer Bound Armaments Skill
This skill deals direct damage to a single target. While each dagger should have a 10% base status effect chance, for 4 daggers there is a 10% total and 2.5% status effect chance per dagger. Please fix this bug and increase the status effect chance to 10% per dagger

Cloudrest "curated" coffer still not actually curated.

Potency of class and weapon healing abilities is too strong in PVP contexts.

Would like to suggest adjusting their values or those of defile, healing absorption etc.

Agreed.

We used to have useful poison that countered this and didn't affect pve. But now we got what we got.

The new light attack animations seem to flow very poorly with some abilities. DK's Flame Whip for instance has your character's arms stuck to your two-handed weapon while casting the whip, resulting in your character awkwardly flailing both arms about and clipping through their torso.

Fix overload please. I’m sure there’s no need to describe a painfully common bug that has been plaguing the game for years. Must be one of the most severe too. Is there a reason it’s being ignored? @ZOS_Kevin

Throwing Knife animation is getting skipped on PTS. Not able to see the cool jump spin throw anymore. Seems like it got speed up to much. Was good before.

arcanist beam sound is either missing or turned down; it's basically silent with only a visual indication that it's working.

Sry that was in u45.
