Frame rate problems - blizzard fix!
So I recently found a Windforce, with the updates in patch 2.6 I was super excited to pair it with Hustle, Faith merc and the updated Strafe to really output ranged damage!
Then I tried it… and my Hellfire Torch triggered Firestorm - which if it happens every now and then isn’t too bad, but firing like a bazillion Arrows a second at cows… it can trigger 2 or 3 times per Strafe!
Build is basically unplayable
Frame rate goes to like 2 per second…I’m in a Strafe lock and my merc dies, or my valk dies, or I die.
Like wtf?
I remember this being an issue 20 years ago on my Frenzy barb… how could this not be fixed?!
Blizzard: the Firestorm effect on the torch isn’t cool anymore. Please either take it away so the game can actually function, or at least make the damage worthwhile! if it were like 60k fire damage per second, or enough to actually kill monsters then I’d suffer through the animation lag.
I just I’ll go back to caster builds (shame too, Strafe is fun now)
Am I right?

Can be used to make Runewords:
Obvious ideas:
- Get a better PC/GPU (if applicable)
- Update your drivers
- Play around with graphics settings a bit as certain combinations seem to have some undesired interactions/results on certain systems
Generally speaking, this isn't a guaranteed issue. I for one tend to keep my settings at or close to max across the board (see 'play around' above) and I don't see any such problems or slowdowns from torch triggers, Mosaic sins going nuts or any of that. The only thing that still has a noticeable slowing effect for me - which has been true since day 1 of LoD I guess - is the shenk Death animation. But everything else can be chain-triggered as much as you want and there's no difference whatsoever, despite my rig not having been upgraded in quite a while (at least 2-3 generations of GPUs I guess).

Yea I’m playing on Nintendo switch… so I’m stuck with what I got. I have the graphics performances already set to lowest… although I guess I could try original lod graphics, haha
