    Veng DH - Soul Delay

    Does anyone else just absolutely hate tat we have to wait until the souls hit the ground and settle after casting fracture but before being able to cast spirit bomb? To me it just feels like we are a clunky combo point user whose abilities are given delays for no reason? Between the fracture hit, waiting for souls to settle, then hitting spirit bomb and waiting for the half second for it to suck in the souls I just cant seem to get into a rhythm.... particularly when you add into the factor that you can accidentally pick up souls as they settle and thus not be able to channel them into an ability.

    Honestly I absolutely love the mix of a builder/spender with pain coupled with the combo point system of souls.... i just wish the delays were not there. Why cant we just have an instant soul interaction

    You don't have to wait. The UI delay is just that, a UI delay. There are a few WAs around that do a better job of tracking them, with a delay still but much shorter then default UI.

    I recently tested it and there is definitely a delay beyond the UI. If there are currently 2 souls on the ground and i cast fracture adn immediately follow it up with a spirit bomb, the secondary ability will only utilize 2 of the 4 souls, and about a second later i will have 2 more available.

    Lets see the logs of that test.

    If it makes you happy, the soul delay isn't as bad in Alpha.

    This.

    It's still annoying though. It would be like if bone shield had a delay while it was animated around your waist.

    They should just make the buff instantly show.
