i guess from proc set to stats sets it worls normally, if you try to switch again it would still be on the cd for a bit
+ A short cooldown is now applied to the relevant slots when switching gear to prevent unintentional proc 'stacking.'
Short explanation where was unintentional proc stacking even observed would be cool or elaborate in general.
idk if devs reduced the chance to proc gears, or probably its from that new update + A short cooldown is now applied to the relevant slots when switching gear to prevent unintentional proc 'stacking.' that's affecting it, and its kinda nonsense that no one asked for, it just messes up the gameplay.
Sb proc set isn't instant when swapping to it now. It needs several seconds despite hundreds of dots from skills are taking place.
Kraken weapons are much harder to proc as well.
Like it just ruins people who are fast with their hotbars and reflexes to be able to pull up some good combos, and now ruined from the cooldown. Why limit us to that?
You're basically limiting us to do good combos, especially people who are good with their hotbars and have great reflexes to be able to accomplish it. Now we can't really time things now cuz of the cooldown, which is bad for utilizing our gears and essentially nerfing our capabilities.
Messes up or saves it? I was on the side of nerfing them rather than limiting people like that but gotta see if it is working like that.Quote:

Nah its actually a good idea, players shouldnt be able to complete maps this fast

Genuinely speak for yourself because if someone is not able to take the most from the gameplay where players can do many things with provided equipment that's on that person.Quote:

I agree with this. I don't understand the concept of implementing that cooldown. It just punishes the players rather than make them enjoy the game more whatsoever. Changes like this won't even affect casual player where majority of playerbase don't even understand the politics of how certain items, pets or even elixirs work together. Just revert it to what it was because it's so insanely unnecessary.Quote:

I think by 'stacking' they meant proc-ing gears from a different hotbar items by mistake when you switch, since actual proc stacking was removed long ago. Example: you use a dmg set and cast a skill that has damage over time effects. Now if you switch to kraken set it will proc even if you don't want that.
It feels like the delay is 1s which seems reasonable to me, although I only use kraken procs not star beast procs, so I cannot argue about that.
Over the past several months we have had to fix individual issues wherein 'proc stacking' could still happen.
This change addresses the issue so we don't have to keep squashing individual problems with overlapping procs.
It's also important to note that only the associated slot is affected by this brief cooldown when switching gears.
Also, it's 1 sec. - a totally reasonable period of time that fixes all the potential overlap issues while keeping the gameplay fast and frenetic.
I have total confidence that you will make the minor adjustments required to make the most out of your arsenal.
Nah I can do it pretty well though it doesn't change the fact that it ruins the actual gameplay.Quote:

So instead of fixing an individual problem with skull axe, you had to affect whole gameplay in negative way? AL is too dynamic for that "cooldown".Quote:

Just make skull axe not insta proc upon hit.
This effectively fixes all of the unintended proc overlaps. Adding an additional 1 sec. to every individual potential activation would be a lot less elegant and much more prone to error.Quote:

Really wished you guys never removed proc stacking but instead reworked it to be not broken. Procing dozer axe chasmal vest and dozer aegis doesn't even compare to being as strong as kraken is today. The amount of fun we had back then proc stacking is unbeatable, these days its 1 gear per slot you can proc, 2iq required to kill anything. I haven't even been able to mentally desire the want to run any map in the game because of how boring things are after proc stacking was removed. I couldn't even really enjoy temple anymore, I have the gears for it the skill but I only ran maybe 3 times due to how boring it has become.Quote:

Didn't see any thread in forum or any player "stacking proc" in a way where he would get an unfair advantage compared to players who weren't "stacking proc".Quote:

Okay! I am convinced. Next Legends game will be all about proc stacking from the get-go :-)Quote:

If it worked similar to AL and became true I would play the game a lot more than I do any other game I currently play.Quote:

Going back here, a friend just tried proc-ing and switching star beast and kraken in some hard lb maps. He says that while it still works, it feels a bit hard to come up with an elegant strategy now because there is always a 1s (+1-2s from charging skills/attacks) window in-between, which could be a little annoying at times and cause them to die because of bad timing.Quote:

A poll for updates is certainly needed i soooo 100% agree with you like why dont they make a poll for the communityQuote:

Let’s say dozer axe proc is 70% less effective from level 82, it will also make space for upcoming weapon procs at level 86.
You did this on Ebon aegis, the reflection heavily nerfed at some point, and idk why other weapons do not get the same treatment.
It will be much easier than adding weird stuff that can mess up the gameplay
Crazy how a single unexpected update can ruin the game. Hate it. I get that casual players will barely feel anything, but cooldown after each swap is something terrible in any leaderboard run.
Not even mentioning hardcore mode, where it’s gonna be dangerous to players with actual end-game gear.
Even though it “prevents” proc stacking, it does more damage to the quality of any competetive gameplay where proc stacking isn’t even used.
Just remove this cooldown completely please.
The slot swapping period has been cut to 500 milliseconds with the most recent game update.
This allows us to maintain the fix for various (unpublished) proc overlaps while significantly reducing the effect of how it feels in combat.
Best wishes
So much time having problems with delays or not responding when I'm switching equipment fast because of my unstable connection, now that the delay is standard I didn't even notice it.
