I've been through this Ability with a fine brush, and for the life of me i can't figure out why it's seriously lagging. I don't mean a little bit of lag btw I mean serious lag. It lags worse and worse with every tick forcing me to ALT F4.



EDIT: more Info. The ability is based of Shadow Strike.

EDIT2: Going to have an early 1, so thanks in advance.

As you said, the triggers looks fine. I suggest you to erase al special effects, from the skills and from triggers, and see if the trigger stills lagging.

Change casting time to at least 1 second, for shadow strike casting time is the occurance of the damage I think. I had a similar problem when using shadow strike as well. With 0.00 casting time, its gonna lag your game whenever you cast that spell.
