The main reason I stopped playing last season was due to lag problems with my Carneval Dagger of darts build. It really ruined the game for me when several of us wanted to group. Is this going to be sorted out? Has anyone heard anything? Any input would be much appreciated.
if you dont have a solid state HD then try looking into how to short stroke your hard drive . it fixed almost every problem i was haveing with the game

lol no... D3 has so many performance problems no matter how good your pc and connection are. In general, any build that causes lots of little numbers instead of a few big number will cause lots of lag because the server has too much number crunching to do.
The S1 version of M6 had lots of sentries shooting really fast causing the servers to not only lag but also send absurd >3mbps of traffic even before the ball lightning builds developed and made matters worse. 2.1 reduced the number of attacks sentries would shoot which improved performance but every high end group from S1-S2 will remember complete freezes if you had enough density.
Since Patch 2.1, Firebirds can freeze the game for everybody in it several seconds just by proc'ing the firebird dot onto too many mobs at once (50 or so).
WD dart build has tons of fetishes shooting piercing darts, again, it's lots of calculations to do.
2.3 PTR Uliana's set causes tons of EP's to be applied and exploded every ~0.21 secs afaict which causes noticeable lag for everybody that isn't playing this 1 button perma immune godly dps build, but it miraculously never caused any freezes even in high density.
The short of it is that they don't really test anything very well and even if lots of bug reports are submitted during beta/ptr they still take their sweet time to fix it, by which time a better build will replace it
