Holy Strike causes game client crashes

The same thing is happening to me. The game hangs up and ends up crashing.
Holy strike is pretty bugged. Visuals, behaviour, performance...
Same as everyone else, Holy Strike causes me to crash multiple times in each map at this point.
Between 4 crash in a map to nothing in an hour.

Always while attacking (even at one point with no ennemy : leap slam to harvest, right click with holy strike, left click on the harvest plot => crash)

Got 3 crash in simulacrum

In delve it seems more stable most of the time

It's becoming quite exhausting to always come back where i was.

I'm experiencing the same issue with holy strike. The game always crashes while the armaments are still attacking. Mostly I notice that I am trying to move away or stopped attacking to cast something else.

Crashing multiple times within one hour.

having the same exact issue
Same issue, its really bad. I've had to take a break from the league until this is fixed, multiple crashes a map is too frustrating.
My recent crash happened when hitting a single rare monster.

same problem, forced to switch to dominating blow
After not making it half way through a Cortex map from the crashes I just bit the bullet and bought a dominating blow gem. Hopefully my set up will work well enough with that.

Please please take a look at why holy strike is crashing at high end content.

didn't start crashing for me until high end content and now its every map/every other map with a crash. its been worse today than any other day i've played, shame because i love the skill so much.
