I have experienced this before migration as well, so probably irrelevant. I have transformation on quickslot on my Delia, and it often doesn't work even when pressed 3-5 times when standing idle, until I move.
Never happened to me on XE, it almost always worked like a charm and let's not compare it with trans. I know trans had some problems activating on XE but that's due to you needing to be in a idle position, but skills never had a problem on XE.
I've actually been more attentive those few days to see what's going on and I found out that sometimes I press Q for dash and it does nothing, no matter how much or hard I try only to see after a few seconds that the skill is in cooldown. That's a legit bug and by no means "irrelevant", it's rather frustrating spamming RMB trying to do camellia spins in hopes that the dash worked and instead doing retarded Rose Thorns smashes and getting hit in the face by the boss.
Also don't get me started on stamina, I never had problems with stamina on XE with Fiona and I know that only means I need to manage my stamina now aka getting away from combat for a few seconds and waiting to recharge, "very exciting".
Let's not sugar coat things now, ok? Things here on PRE are not honey and milk, we can easily argue that it's worse then XE.
So far here's my impressions:
1. Game is just as buggy if not buggier then it used to be (I still remember people crying about how PRE is the perfect version without any bugs)
2 .Combat feels slow af and awkward, I used to just "walk" away some attacks on XE but now I'm a pregnant whale and I can't move that fast, I need to sit and block some boring attack...much fast paced action combat much wow
3. Unresponsiveness of the slotted skills, I have shield dash on Q and the darn skill just doesn't activate unless I smash the hell out of that Q key
4. Ironically hyperresponsiveness on the freaking smash key, ex: did a shield dash...pressed right click twice for camelia (or focal point w/e) but I had sp just for one spin, I get the "you don't have enough SP bla bla" message but noooo my fiona had to do that stupid Rose Thorns cause apparently the game doesn't cancel my command if I'm out of SP, not to mention combined with point 3. and some lag makes for some really good exercise in frustration
5. The PG just feels freaking random, so yeah skills just seem buggier
6. The attack animation feels slow af, I don't know if PRE has different formula for the speed animation but there's that
7. No combo, this was the least of my concerns because I thought we would get a plain boost in our damage, but nope we just do the same damage as we did on XE with 0% combo
8. Lots for try-hards on the forums, telling people to "gid gud", please you are talking about getting good at a version that allows facetanking . The problem is not about "gid gud" the problem is that the game just feels slow compared to the xe version. It feels like going from Quake on PC to Call of duty on Xbox.
