I'm just wondering but has anybody witnessed your pet nova missing people on mounts? Have they made it so you cant land it or something? When people tend to run around on their mounts at the start of the arena pet nova all ways seems to miss although I've 100% landed it..I'm hit capped etc.

they are most likely lagging, being on mount with high ping they appear somewhere else on their screen than on yours or the other way around

I get this also, running 30ms home/world.
I also see people running while Deep Freeze for 2-3 seconds, most likely behind a box. Actually got it on stream also;

crawthz its simply just your brain lagging.

yeah i've noticed that as well... my pet nova always misses on mounted targets now.

I also noticed this happening lately on my warlock with howl of terror. I would be standing on top of the person and it would somehow miss

Can confirm both of these. Only difference is fear is with Priest.

But with the Mage pet nova, it has gotten to the point where I won't even bother to nova unless they have dismounted or are standing still on mount.

Yeh glad to see i'm not the only one then

[J_DA]

I've had rare cases of it missing but I usually aim in front of them/wait for them to stop whilst mounted ;\

[hairpiece]

i miss people who are standing still on their mounts, or who are just strafing back and forth quickly with the nova 100% over them.  its really really annoying

[deprivelol]

i usually miss on people running on there mounts

Pet nova overall is super bugged. It's way to random if it's actually gonna hit propper, I'm not sure if this is a mechanical fault or people lagging.
I see so many people lagg when playing arena, can't remember it being so bad in other seasons.

[Icedbrisktea]

You can still pet nova them its just mainly like that because of the lag between you and the servers. Other then that you have to try a lot harder against Paladins and Death Knights because they have faster movement speed on their mounts.

I understand that it is lag (and always has been) but it seems more extreme this season than in previous seasons.

[Stigz]

That is why AT is way superior to retail, no lag or anything there with any spells.

Retail has so fuckin insane delay on abilities that if you are actually very good on reacting to things you can juke Mind Freeze _AFTER_ you see the actual effect.

Never had a problem hitting mounted targets with nova before MoP, though maybe it is just lag.

[deprivelol]

have you guys noticed when a game gets really long people just start randomly teleporting around

[Pumpinz]

This happens to me all the time also. Especialy with paladins when they are mountedl. I'm linking my teamates this thread so they will stop yelling about it lol.

[Toxile]

Noticed its very random on how it hits druids aswell, sometimes ill 100% nova them with pet and they wont get rooted and i dont get fingers, its really wierd as fuck. Somethings up with pet nova for sure
