Combat Attributes Rrefrsh Time

For the life of my I could not find the answer this nor even a mention of this change through all my searching on the forums using multiple keywords.

I remember some time last year (maybe Freedom release) that the combat attributes, and by extension the monitor, received a change that slowed the refresh rate of the attributes data by several degrees.

I didn't mind it at the time as I did not require immediate feedback on the things I monitored. Now that I'm playing my brute sometimes and I get on my stalker in PvP zones, it's rather annoying having to wait a that little while longer to know for sure that my damage is returned to normal from a rage crash on my brute or that I am back at full stealth on my stalker.

Now to the point. Is there any possible way to change the refresh time? I'm guessing there isn't because the server more than likely controls the rate at which it sends that data to the clients.

No, but easy way to monitor if you're back to stealth: it'll say "hidden" under your status bar. Easy way to monitor if the rage crash is gone: the icon is gone.

Seems roughly instantaneous to me, the sound effect of Rage crashing on my Tank coincides with my damage buff numbers going into the deep and depressing red.

Same here. I was timing a buff recently, checking to see how much overlap time I had, and the time between the icon disappearing and the monitor updating was a fraction of a second at most.

You can try searching the patch notes on the wiki by going to google and including site:paragonwiki.com inurl:patch_notes in the search. I tried a quick search on "combat attributes" using this, but found no sign of anything indicating a slow in the refresh rate.

That's what I'm seeing, also. I monitor damage buff on my tank with Rage and stealth on various non-stalkers when ghosting missions. Not noticing any delay at all.

I have definitely noticed the same change as Simon, although I'm not sure it was a mere year ago. Used to be instantaneous, now it takes 2 seconds to update. That change decreased my survivability significantly (defense debuffs becoming much harder to monitor).

I've always assumed it was a physical location thing (I live in EU). I used to get the same problem with the market, which has been fixed at around the same time.

Note Hide refreshes itself in 8 seconds, where normal stealth powers refresh after 10 seconds.

And that two seconds can make a hide different when trying to evade in a PvP environment.

As for the rage crash, I like to use the monitor to tell me when my damage has returned to normal more than when rages actually crashes. Just the simple fact that Nihilii has noticed the same thing puts my mind at ease knowing that it isn't just me.

It is not a major issue, just a minor annoyance that would be nice to see an option for.
