Skill lags got worse in the last weeks

[Malfrador.3615]

Skill lags were always a thing in really big fights, but it got a lot worse since one of the recent patches. Until recently skill lags (the server side lags, not high ping or low FPS) were only a problem in really big three way fights with 60+ on each side. Now even smaller blob fights with 40vs40 are sometimes really laggy.It is not just annoying lag, but it makes the game unplayable as a not so tanky class and promotes the "numbers win" even more, as smaller groups can not outplay big groups because of the lag.

The lag was this worse a year or so ago, but then Anet changed some skills (Epidemic if I remember it correctly) and it got a lot better. Maybe its one specific skill again this time.Please look into it, as it makes WvW Zerg fights pretty much unplayable right now (at least in EU and primetime).

It's because of the bubble nerf. people are taking longer to die now and a more pirate ship meta is evolving. more things to calculate = skill lag. The bubble was great cos it could reck a blob in 5 seconds. more dead = less things to calculate = less skill lag.
