Okay I just played now after the update... I think it is in fact the numbers flashing and popping with a small delay that causes the stutter effect. After turning "Display Critical Damage Numbers" (Gameplay options) off, the gameplay seemed pretty smooth to me. There should be an additional option to turn off these effects, in case players are still interested in (crit) damage numbers.
I also appologize for the lack of describing the areas of effect, to me it seemed everywhere in-game (in-fight) and that was the most confusing part to me at least. I still have a stutter,which may be referred to internet speed and distance of location (europe), but it seems greatly decreased after turning the mentioned option off. But thanks to all, who replied, for the hints.
@Sexton: I'm not sure if this is intended, since I haven't seen any skill rune describing a "dashing through obstacles" behavior. But let's wait for actions to happen.
Hi all,
Once you get used to your atk speed and how your cyclone hits, you get a good feeling of how the skill animation works along with the provided hits from cyclone. At the moment, on live, this synergy seems pretty fluent and quite reactive to my playstyle (SHIFT-Clicker). But as soon as I play on PTR, I get this stutter feeling which is really annoying. I'm not sure if this is only due to my internet speed, the environment being on PTR, or if something has changed in general. This is why I would like to know if someone (playing a cyclone monk), has made the same or the opposite experience as I did.
I have to add, that this experience has been made throughout the whole (RoS) PTR process and is not sporadic. Also the numbers popping up, feels pretty stuttering. I hate the new font anyway... I hope this is not due to effect of splash damage though.
This "question" could be asked in general (all classes and so on), but it seems with cyclone you can see the "flaw" much better. I get the same feeling with other chars as well (barb, wizard, dh), but can't seem to recognize this big difference as I do with my monk.
So please, share your thoughts....
