/EDIT/
- The screech also happens (although a lot less) when I’m “tagging along” other players and combat events take place.
- It started when I pushed a Pit because I had two shining buffs active (stats increased and thorns), and some improved gear.
- It occurs very frequently when soloing a boss and I’m spamming Blizzard.
It is a terribly unpleasant sound effect, like metal screeching on metal. It’s short and seems related to a “proc” of some sort.
Playing a Blizz Sorc, this is the first time that I’m hearing this since starting to play this Season.
It appears to have started after I changed equipment. When I reverted to the previous gear (with slightly different tempers), the sound effect was still there but occurring a lot less frequently.
Also tried turning off loot sound effects to no avail. Reducing effect volume helps a bit, but the sound is so piercing that it still makes the game virtually unplayable.
Didn’t change a thing on the PC itself, and it worked perfectly fine until now…
