First off let me mention I am gaming on a laptop, and this issue may just be due to system limitations. (If this is the case I would really like it if anet made some optimizations so that this very necessary visual queue is prioritized over something like Nevermore’s 10 thousand raven animations.. which I see very clearly)
Anyway, my raid group recently got our first Deimos kill with me kiting the hands on an elementalist. While watching a video guide on youtube I noticed his large knockback AOE is supposed to persist after the pie slices radiate out from in front of him. When I am in the raid what I see instead are the pie slices very quickly flashing around him then disappearing within a second, and often they will not even appear at all. This means when I’m kiting I have to keep an eye on the boss to watch for his pounding animation, then estimate if I’m far away enough that I don’t have to waste a dodge (because I can’t see the radius at all). I’ve been in the situation many times where I am preoccupied healing myself and don’t see the boss slam the ground. Being that I’m kiting on the edge this is basically an automatic wipe for us when I get knocked off for (to me) what looks like no reason. Like the hand of god has come down to kitten slap me off the platform because I needed to drop a geyser.
Anybody else have this problem and know of a fix??? I’ve attached a pic of the graphic settings I use during the encounter but I experimented with turning things up and down and it’s had no effect
anet pls help
