Anyone else having this issue with flameblast?( rapid fire shooting spree)

so ever since the new league started, I've been having issues with flameblast being inconsistent. There are numerous random times while mapping where my flameblast will no longer channel and will go on a rapid fire single stack flameblast shooting spree while i hold down my right click button(in attempts to channel flameblast). At first I thought it could be a hardware issue with the mouse's right click button electrical wiring being faulty but the problem persisted after replacing the mouse. Normally I would be excited about this since i could conjure up some taming ignite stack build however this "glitch" is very difficult to replicate. I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if they were able to fix it.

The other possibility is that you have run out of mana but I am guessing that you have considered this.

Actually, YES! This issue happens to me quite frequently and it took me a while to figure it out. Basically it's when there is enough lag spikes that you can no longer channel it for any stacks until you move around a bit, then it happens again and again repetitively until you stop lagging. Completely kills our DPS and it sucks. If you play in parties of 3 or more, it happens sometimes. More importantly try to avoid playing on realms opposite of yours, for example. I play on U.S. realm so when I get put into any gorge rota or masters in singapore/EU I will for the most part be useless and just leech. I'd rather choose not to but we can't really help it. Would be nice if there was a fix for it, but i've tried everything and it's 100% due to lag. Predictive hasn't helped me.

Sorry to hear about that, this would be one situation in which I would advocate for flameblast totems over selfcast.

Are you on predictive and how's your latency graph? If you have lag spikes they will cancel your channelling and release it each time it spikes for more than a few fractions of a second. You would easily notice this on lockstep.

This happens to me to. It's called running out of mana

I use the blood magic keystone and 7000 hp with 600 hp regen. im pretty sure its something either game related or network. i contacted ggg support to see if they have any insight on this matter.
