Cast on Crit "Lagbuilds" fix?

Fireball and ice spear never were a problem for me.

Here's a little secret about "no lag build" public parties... even when your build doesnt lag people because you swapped spells or GGG made improvements, people still wont want you there.

If your build does any of the following:
1)Kills everything (discharge)
2)Clutters the screen (summoner)
3)In any other way makes people feel inferior

People will just kick you and cry lag. Most people just want extra players for IIQ and more exp, and often enough to fund more maps through fees. They dont want their thunder stolen. Only a solid nerf fixes that, so people keep saying they lag from coc and it causes innumerable terrible events to happen no matter what like lag, and the server exploding, and nuclear war.. because they really just want any flashy high dps build they dont play nerfed.

They'll even claim to play it themselves and leave feedback under the guise of simply asking for fps fixes but really wanting to see nerfs.

I used barrage >gmp. It's the same. ST probably can get more triggers on packs but barrage puts out max casts even on single target.

Anyway the crown build you mention is expensive, not very flashy. Yes it kills stuff but in a subtle way.

Discharge and CoC kills stuff while exploding with flashy colors.

CoC is cheap to play. I have self crafted bows that got me over 80% crit without power charges. Wands and daggers can hit those numbers even easier. Part of the hate towards CoC is that you don't need hundreds of exalts to make it work. Like the "low-life (shavs) crown (pile on more rmt exalts) build you mention.


I can tell you without a doubt hating on builds is more about how flashy they are than how much they lag. Discharge doesnt even lag anymore but many map makers want to kick me because I have good clear speed and the animation distracts them. They still say its lag, but that is rarely the real reason.
