Why can't you just disable proc stacking to specific gears that you don't want stacked? so people just wouldn't include it in their arsenal.
You touched something that ruined everyone else's gameplay.
What happened with this update is there's a 1s cooldown for these associated slots for every time we switch it with another piece of equipment. Everyone in game who was utilizing all 8 hotbars are now complaining. Please reconsider and revert it back.
People whos utilizing all of their loadouts and hotbars has been cooking no problem before this update. And no threads in the last 2 years complained about buggy unintended proc overlaps. If its not broken, don't fix it.
And like someone had said, its a common occurrence that many maps now require needing and swapping between 6-8hotbars in 5-7seconds - because people who actually spend time in certain maps figure out the most efficient way to do it. But now we can't because every time we do, there's a 1s cooldown per switch before we can expect to proc. Again, this compromises the good players who are playing the game in a deeper level.
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".
As others said, there are maps which require many hotbar swaps in short amount of time. For example, this change hurt rogues survivability, since they don't have an immunity and they need proc fast to not die (and giving them immunity would hurt warriors and sorcerers, cause what would be the point of using these classes if we could just use immortal class with more dmg).
Players who find issues related to power and 'exploits' have learned not to post in a public setting because there is a very high risk getting trashed on the forums and harassed in-game.
We get most of our power-related bug reports privately and through Customer Service.
Just sayin' - I don't like it, but it's true :-/
Those issues would only be possible with the new gears released. So, before you release new stuff, just test it - if it should be procing with the current meta or not. Still, this update fixes nothing, and is a nuisance to everyone. I hope you reconsider this, or find a way to fix whatever problem you're seeing without compromising our freedom of being able to accurately and precisely do things with our hotbars and procs.
No one can be as swift anymore, we're all downgraded to the level of new player's poor understanding of swapping hotbars and loadouts. Sad.
