Keyboard responsiveness

Hi,

My post is about a bug that was reported for specific skills, as I saw several threads about pain offering, but I think it is broader / more general than that.

I have the issue with a keyboard on PC. For pain offering, very often I press the key and I see that the mana is spent, but the tower does not appear. It is pretty annoying that you have to press multiple times and, usually, try to stay pressing for a second or two to make sure that it works. In the heat of the action, you just don't have the time for that.

But I actually noticed the same with other skills. When I had wall of flame on my keyboard it would also not cast on every key press; but after binding the skill to the left mouse button it casts instantly every time, it works like a charm.

I do have an expensive gaming keyboard that works just fine with every other game, the problem is not my keyboard.

Just throwing my experience out there :)

I have the same issue. Seems to be the E key for me with flamewall. switched keyboards too.
I do experience the same... keyboard does not respond to inputs, so it's ends up me hammering skills in order for them to go off. Very annoying! This occurs on all characters I play on.
skills on my mouse seem to work fine, but any skill on keyboard (i rebound qwer to 12345, and they do not go off ~30% of the times...)

it doesn't matter what skills I have on keyboard... sometimes I do not throw hypotermia at all, sometimes I throw like 3-4 on the same spot. But that's because I do not see a visual effect of it going down, ends up with depleting my mana.

other times, I have to hammer 2-3-4 times to get a single firewall off, and that's not engaged in fights where you can be stunned or other fucked up shit. It just does not cast the skill.

CORRECTION: Even skills bound to mouse suffers the same "unresponsiveness". Where I have Frost Bomb, that's 50% of times it does not fire off, so ends up me spamming RMB and then have to watch on the skill cooldown if I actually threw the skill or not. That's because I run Ice Pet Witch build and there're so much clutter on the screen so I cannot see if a Frost Bomb is active or not.

That is game breaking since not do I have to watch out for the "do not stand in fire fool" with the character, I have to constantly also check the skillbar to see if the skills I throw (that are on cooldown) are even fired off...

So in the end, I do not trust my inpunts, where I constantly have to spam every key/skill multiple times.

"I need more time" or "Too soon" are the two sentences I constantly hear :)
