A question about Broadside lock duration?

its because of lag i think

I have faced the exact same problems as Sacks. Not sure of the reason though. I'll test it today and post the exact gear so that it can be analyzed.

Could it be that the BS is casted after the 6,x sec and u just dont see the missile??
I play broadsin too and sometimes i dont see my BS but its there ( I hear it multihitting and monsters takes dmg ofc...
sry for bad english bro's

I had this exact same problem too. Sometimes my lockout would be up to 30 seconds.

I have had same problem in SP.

if u are wearing emp bands the on kill proc locks skills as well so some other skills can lock u out while they proc from broadside u gotta be careful with what u use

I think when you cast bs then got stunned by his nova(bpr) you can't cast spell until the stun is gone.

Now with Khanduran + Taha gloves + Hellfire RW my broadside lock duration is 6s but in fact that usually (or always) > 6s . I sure that 100% . This is a bug ? (sometimes my range lock skill duration is ~15s , WTF ? ) . Although the lock duration is 6s but i can't use ranged skill every 6s ...

Since multiple people have this problem, wouldn't it be about time this got an 'official' research?

might be stun but i noticed something different when playing Broadside assassin

to be exact, i was doing void with broadside and mobs kept ketting hit until everything on screen died, also all people on game said that "there is million broadsides on screen" This stopped happening when i switched segnitia to sbs, so imo it's strongly connected to time strike proc, since time strike had skill timer when it was in assassin skill tree iirc.

It's worth to remember that the skill itself has very complicated mechanics and %ctc with any timer might interrupt proper working of this skill.

i'm 100% sure it's because time strike proc, but if you use time strikes with meshifs iron parrot, you can cast one broadside and walk around when everything is getting magically killed, and i find this really cool and fun xD
