Meteoric Crash's... Delay

#1 Post by StarKeep »

Meteoric Crash has a delay before it actually deals damage.

While having to wait a few seconds would not, by itself, be an issue, the issue is that if you rapid fire talents/waste turns fast enough, the enemy can get out of range of it, BEFORE it hits.

after the explosion happens actor don't take damage immediately. for me they take damage when i start targetting any ability(not cast, just hit to start targetting). very weird but that's how it was for very long, works with both crown of burning pain and meteor prodigy. waiting for ~5 seconds sometimes works as well.

No that's a display mishap, the damage is done the moment the explosion appears; the log only updates later

I am 100% sure thats false. Quite simply, learn the prodigy, attack an enemy, than quickly move around. It's not just a log delay.
