Range attack from barbarian

[_dracus_]

I'm piss off getting killed by barbs from range. They start an attack I start to run and the attack hits you. I got hit even when i'm behind a barb sometimes and that's annoying. I think this is due to lag from hit and animation which gives a pretty weird feeling of getting hit from range when you're fighting.

I don't know what to do but it's really weird.

Nope - new change where when a warrior hits you and you run out of range - it hits you anyway

Yeah, too bad OUR spells don't do that too.

Oh god...another thread about barbs...this will never get over...

I've already seen that isn't only for Barbarians, but yes to Knights, I'm running with my archerfrom a knight at 5 range and he attacks me.
One thing is good that is for warriors, only for barbs.
one bad thing is for the hunters that are running and die.

Note: Is need a spear ot do that I guess. (everyone of knights & barbs that hit me in big range had a spear)

note2: The threads about barbs of powers, now range, will be of armors..ect....and the most funny thing, is that people might know is for warriors, but no, continue saying is for barbs...

I already lost all my mana doing south crosses in a battle and everyone run = i lost all mana for 0 dmg

spears have range 3.5 i think.
And the thing about spells hitting you when trying to run out of range should only apply to instant spells, if i have read the changelog and follow-ups correctly.
This is to prevent instant spells from failing by spell-lag because someone moved out of range. As in, they are instant, so if someone is in range you can cast it. If, due to spell-lag, the person gets out of range before the spell was applied to the victim, before the update it was so that the spell was cancelled. Which is ridiculous, of course

Spears have 2.4 range (at least they had in the last time I saw them)
South Cross is an instant spell right?
So if is, why do everyone escape almost always from it?

I've had that happen many times where -in sequence- Projectile rain then breakapart were wasted due to casting times.

it happend to me that i cast sprint and run from a lvl 50barb and he hits me like from 10m behind me and THEN he casts spiritual blow...i think that this has something with the lag im not sure

Well archer firing arrows in his back is pretty much same issue IMO (and it happens all the time)

and by the way its well known that the log as a delay so you most likely has been hitted while in range but dmg shown after. Cause I can tell you running away from Ripost (same as south cross) makes the spell been wasted.

The update (fix) was for INSTANT spells (and doesnt fix perfectly)
