Is it me or does Touch of Death rarely proc properly?
Seeing people hover round 5% for a number of seconds and ToD never procs, literally a game changing move

Wondering if anyone is the same

Was always like that.

I don’t remember it being this delayed. I remember I could spam it and it would instantly light up at 15% in previous expansions.

I don’t remember in BFA it got some delay

I remember the delay in Shadowland of ToD was very noticeable

But i remember a time where in PvP it was as instant as a execute

This is because of the client-server architecture used in WoW and similar games.

On your client you see them under 10% but in reality they are above the threshold and the ability doesn’t work. The server is the source of truth and all clients are always lagging a bit behind it. Same happens with the 20% and 30% health executes, however there the execute range is much bigger and your execute ability fails less often.

But it also works in the opposite direction - sometimes you see them as 12-15% on your client but ToD kills them. This is because they were actually at 10% or below as far as the server is concerned, just that your clienr was not up to date yet

So ToD is affected, yet warriors/paladins/hunters/priests “execute” moves work fine?
