Arcane Singularity bizarre effect in level-73 zones

hustin1 · September 2017

When my CW casts AS in a level-73 zone, the movement of enemies gets crazy. Instead of slowly being pulled in to the center and swirling around the singularity, they move at increasing velocities toward it such that they vastly overshoot the center. Then the gravity snaps them back, accelerating them to higher velocities and greater overshoot. This happens three or four times until they wind up scattered far away from the singularity -- exactly the opposite of what I intended to accomplish by casting it.

Hmm. Last night I decided to test this on our Stronghold map (level-70 enemies). If anything, the effect was even more pronounced. Enemies snapped back toward the singularity at greater and greater speeds, overshooting the singularity by greater and greater distances. The last one looked like it would send them into orbit and I think only the terrain geometry prevented them from doing so.

It's the effect of having a high control bonus - the higher your control, the further you move them. For enemies with pretty much 0 Control resist, this goes over the original numbers (pre mod 6), so it causes them to go past the landing spot.

Yeah, my CW has a great deal of control strength. The problem here is that it's rendering Arcane Singularity worse than useless. I captured a video of two uses and posted it to my flickr page:

@terramak do you have any thoughts on this? It's as if an actual black hole was pulling them -- any harder and they would go into orbit!

Pinging @nitocris83 as well so that this gets a look.
