    Title: PURIFY BURST CAUSES INSANE LAG!
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
    Details: When there are more than one group inside a scene, the frame rate drops to 2-3 fps if anyone in either party casts Purify Burst. The visual effect of Purify Burst applies to every person in the scene.
    Steps to Reproduce: Get two groups in the same zone. Have one group cast Purify Burst. Watch everyone's frame rate drop to 2 fps.

    P.S. To be honest, I have not tested this on the R53 QA server. On two occasions in the Lost Vale on the live server, individuals not in our group came into the same scene and purposely cast Purify Burst to grief us. It would be better to remove Purify Burst entirely from the game than to allow this bug to persist through R53.

    P.P.S. I will be at the QA stress test on Monday spamming the Purify Burst spell until Portalarium agrees to fix this problem.

    I hope that this problem is addressed in the next patch. I won't be able to test it since I've been banned from the QA server. I know this is my fault; I'm just frustrated that a group came in and purposely cast Purify Burst to slow our frame rate to make the game unplayable. Several members of my party were kicked out of the Lost Vale when they missed the window to switch into Party mode due to net lag. I wish you all the best in testing the QA server without my assistance.

    It's a know issue, some guys from Mangar used it the other day to lag out our group at a cp. Mac posted a video of it.

    A fix has been and continues to be in the works. We've made great progress in this area as of late. I appreciate your honesty in your report and I know you have been frustrated by it...just know that sometimes complicated issues require complicated ways to address it. But we've all wanted this one fixed. It's not something we have ignored or plan to :)
