Please fix Prism!

in Player Feedback (PC)
I get so tired of "paladins don't use prism" or something as such spam in EVERY large group setting. As a paladin, I would like to be able to use my daily abilities in any situation, but I can't because it causes everyone to lag and then there's even more griping. Why hasn't this been fixed? If it can't be fixed, change the ability - and do everyone a favor. There's got to be a better way.

    reduce prism only up to 5-10 targets to be healed instead of 40 players in buff range.
    prism were meant for 5 man dungeon/skirmish runs.

    here is my idea, Prism would only works if paladin are in the group, and prism wont work if others are not in paladin's group, less lag which i could believe.
    if paladin not in any group, and prism will fail.

    I think it will get a cooldown like Astral Seal. It seems to be the easiest fix to apply.

    An easier fix to apply is to comment out the line in the code that flashes PRISM in your face every time it procs.

    Thats just visual and - for sure - has nothing to do with the lag.
    Distribution of server/client communication must be limited, as already said with a cooldown or a limit in affected players.

    That wasn't lag, that was a client side fps issue. (presumably caused by poor coding in the UI element)

    here's the issue. heal lands prism/oath procs. heal goes to 40 people. if any of those people have prism active or oath of bonding. it procs again, and again and again. turning off the text helps a little. but hundreds of tiny heals a second is server lag.

    fixing prism alone wont do it. any heal cast with oath of bonding active will do the exact same thing. take away or put a cooldown on oath of bonding and you destroy dev pali's

    the real fix is to flag the heals from prism/oath as non reflectable. that stops the cascade.
