Does Vault has a delay?

[Wooody]

I just got to try vault in the beta, and it's not instantly casted as any other skill, the character stands still some time (something between 0.3-0.5 secs) before doing the vault. Did that always happened before? I was having arround 300ms latency, so thay may be the cause, but all the other skills react well, so not sure why vault don't.

That's just lag.

Things I've noticed with Vault:

1) As mentioned in many places on these boards, skills sometimes have a "pre-load" lag that inserts a small delay the first time/few times a skill gets used. I'm not sure whether this refers to the first time in a session or the first time in a few hours/etc., but that may be causing the delay the first few times it gets used.

2) Vault has some pathfinding issues. Not sure if they've been fully fixed yet, as I think the patch notes said they improved them, but it's possible that pathing issues are causing a delay when you're vaulting over strange terrain.

3) Have you tried running while casting vault? I think I recall that when I was messing with it, it seemed unresponsive until I actually tried using it when on the move.

Anyway, these might all be irrelevant and may just be the way the latency interacts with pathing, but maybe that helps.

I tested it some minutes, both moving and standing still, and even in town with a clear path I had that delay, so I guess it can be lag, but it was strange that lag was affecting vault and nothing else. I will try it again when I have a better latency, but I'm playing from Europe, so I never had a latency lower than 200.

I believe Vault and a very small handful of other skills don't support the 0 latency "client-side prediction"-type system, which is why it appears to be delayed while everything else isn't. Impale also seems to have a slight delay.

Fixed that for you.

This could be a side-effect of some kind of hack detection. Does this happen with other movement skills as well?

[Wooody]

I've been able to test it with 200ms latency, and the delay seemed smaller, so yes, it looks just like lag. Monk's Dashing strike or Barbarian's Leap attack don't seem to have that delay though.

I am on 230 ms constant and there is no delay at all with vault.
In fact sometimes it happens so fast that I vaulted twice when I meant to vault only once.
