Global Cooldown

[davispeed]

I was wondering, what is the policy regarding the Global Cooldown that some classes can ''bypasss'' by casting an insane amount of abilities\spell in 1sec an literally blow your ballz off just like that if they time it right or something like that. I know it was possible on live and its still possible here. Not sure if it has something to do with NB(Nerf Button) or not but i think so, but yet again, im not 100% sure cuz i clearly dont play any class that requiere it. THE QUESTION IS FOR THE DEVS. Thx for clarifying and answering.

FYI DoT ticks and damage buff procs =/= casting a spell

there is no 'policy' for classes to bypass gcd other than a few classes who have one or two abilities that are off the gcd'

additionally nerfed buttons isn't a hack, stop spewing misinformation

nb is gimp, atleast for caster!

GCD is handled entirely by the server. Nothing you can do on the client end will "trick" it into firing off abilities any faster than they should. What you're experiencing is players who know their rotations well, possibly combined with some lag. It's nothing new, nothing unusual, and nothing we haven't heard before.

He's trying to get information from you because you lack any evidence for someone "bypassing" the gcd. You can post the question to devs all you like but the devs don't want to waste their time if you're not willing to spend a little time providing proof of exploit.

Based on your OP, "I know it was possible on live and its still possible here" explains to me that you already know that classes such as BWs and Sorcs can time their DoTs to hit within a second or two. If you want a QQ thread on the overpowered nature of BWs/Sorcs and their high crits... then make a topic about that instead of randomly pointing towards NB being the problem. I also don't understand how you can ask "what is the policy regarding the Global Cooldown that some classes can ''bypasss'' by casting an insane amount of abilities\spell in 1sec an literally blow your ballz off just like that if they time it right or something like that"... WHAT POLICY? The BW/Sorc's DoT spec is build upon the heavy spike damage offered by lining up DoTs in the correct order. People are not cheating if they do it...

Dunno if it can bypass gcd, but if you can delay casting or add flight time to instant spells somehow for 3 seconds you can bassicly stack all 3 BW/Sorc dots up on target then channel FB/DB followed by PS/GB you will have all the attacks hit within the exact same time frame. There is a well known hack out there that i won't mention that let you alter the client in all kinda ways.
