Startling twist: broken?

[lilbert]

I normally don't post cause I tend to be unobservant but....

Did they break startling twist?
I seem to be unable to remove corruptions with it anymore (don't remember seeing in notes). I have run TG and KK several times and never removed a single corruption with startling twist but could with my corruption removal skill.

Also, did they lengthen the animation? It takes 4-5 seconds for it to go off and I'm pretty sure its not me lagging EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Anyone else notice these issues?

The animation time has indeed been severely increased. For me yellow line has become extremely slower overall, thus less functional and pleasant for a specialization that is supposed to focus on enhancing the group's utility.

As for the corruption removing effect, i'm not sure. I must have encountered similar problems. However, i mostly use ST corruption removal because of content and twist's ridiculous delay. Will need to test it further.

Confirmed.

Startling Twist does not remove corruptions anymore... ./sigh

Yes, very noticeable. I had taken that skill from yellow tree on a red tree build to acquire the multi-stun. However, the increased animation along with the added aoe benefits on Red Tree caused me to move the trait points to something else. That was probably their intention.

After a break, got back to playing and noticed it is not working.
I was asked in instances to remove corruptions, as people were not aware that the skill is bugged.


Had to use search in the forum to find this thread, is this not a problem for other burglar players?
Seemed to me there is lot of corruptions in the new 6 mans so AOE removal is very handy.

It is a problem to me.
Most people playing the class today are charmed by the recent damage increase. And expectantly so. The average burglars dishes out more damage to average naturally damage focused classes. One could argue they're not primarily fulfilling a supporting role anymore. On top of that, a lot of burglars around are power leveled. Most of those players built their characters precisely for DpS. Startling twist corruption removal was never a thing from their perspective. Lastly, the current state of the rest of the arsenal is not helping either*. What more is a supporting burglar nowadays than a mark and two disables or enrages?
