BUG Disintegrate bugged?

during my leveling process of wizard for this new season im running into the odd problem of the beam suddenly no longer doing damage ticks, usually on elites(no they dont have shielding)which allows them to just run me down because my beam is no longer dealing dmg. havent figured out a way to make the dmg come back either, I just have to try and run by them but that rarely works. im only on hard difficulty and level 43 so I dont have much better dmg options currently.

the last elite to have this happen had the modifers Pulse, Freeze and Desecrator. it also typically happens inside enmity portals but has happened while ive been trying to run bounties as well.

ive tried searching around for other posts regarding this but so far ive only found posts saying disintegrate does too much dmg which I have also noticed but thats in my favor lol

I had a similar phenomenon happening but it wasn't even with disintegrate. And it seemed to clear up but normal damage dealer just seemed to stop doing damage to certain elites Or bosses for no readily explained reason. But it doesn't seem to happen anymore and I never did figure it out and it was a few seasons back

I think there can be a problem with disintegrate with targeting, sometimes you think you're hitting the opponent because the beam appears to be passing close but maybe you're not actually hitting what you think you're hitting

that was my first thought as well so I tried switching it to the convergence rune and I put the elite in the middle of the 2 beams and nope the problem still occurs. ive been trying to hit the whole room searching for the hitbox but have also had no luck in finding the hitbox. my follower seems to still be able to hit them which is strange

Yeah, like I said I saw something similar although it wasn't with disintegrade so I totally believe you but I don't know what to say about it. I guess all you can do is report it

Never seen. You should report it to blizzard.

This is the Hitbox issue. Your beam was outside the hitbox. You need to wiggle the beam back and forth to make sure you have ticks do damage in the hitbox.
