From the go I want to say I’m not having a whine. just wanted to ask if it is usual for to occasionally go from full health to dead in a few seconds with 0 time to react. Is this lag or are the bursts that capable?
It’s not unusual “in a few seconds” at all, depending on the build that is attacking you and your own build.
Berserker glass ele will probably be two or three shot by a berserker thief, for example. There are really no situations anymore where players are unable to react to burst though. Back at release it was pretty bad, and basically every single power glass build has been nerfed in burst capability.
Like as an example, backstab thieves. Besides the opener which is impossible to reliably avoid because you don’t have 360 degree vision, you had the aftercast of CnD and cast of BS to avoid the backstab, which is about 0.25 seconds + 0.25 seconds. Between human reaction time (200-300ms) and latency (50-150ms), people just had too much trouble avoiding it. Now, they’ve significantly nerfed the damage so even if you eat the full damage, it only does 50%-75% what it used to (and as a result no one runs it either).
Hmm thanks man, might have to up my tankiness a bit more. Kind of seems to me atleast that its a bit much to ask that players have this much skill buuut what would i know XD. Thanks for answering
