I don't think any ranged class should complain, as Blunt user, 90% of my skills are canceled during peak hours and ruins all the fun for me.

I understand you are having a hard time with spell lags, but still, you can actually do something else than just standing there looking funny

i wasn't whining, read my post again

Edit: My base attack unbuffed with staff is around 70 damage, yours is considerably higher methinks

Playing both, I can assure you that casting time lag affects mages even more than warriors are affected by position lag, because it's not for half the enemies... it's ALWAYS laggy. Casting time lag is bad for warriors mostly when they cast areas.. For mages, it's always. Position lag rarely affects Mages. Those are two different problems but you shouldn't dismiss the other because you're not playing a ranged class. I find it harder these times to play Warlock than Warrior (whether it's Barb or Knight).

Well, it often happens that i'm _behind_ enemy lines with the knight while seeing me with my realm mates... the strong survive

People would think i'm crazy, but i'm anyway

You're damn right i can. I can play a game that isn't a lagged out disaster, which is exactly what i've been doing.

I am not talking about casting times.
I am talking about casting times + the fact that when the spell is casted, it doesn't even get trough because of position lags...

I can even stand beside an enemy that's standing still, and still a spell can be canceled during this lag.

All ranged classes have atleast 20+ range to play with.

Sorry, it was not my meaning to offend you.
And yes, my normal hits still are quite ok during these peaks, but I can't control the battle in any way using Mind Squasher, Knocks, Dizzy, Stun, etc.

Well. In last week in stone i was shooting to warjurer but i got information about not facing. And yes he was in front off me but it was bug. For real he was at my back. So when he finally disappeared i saw him 30m in opposite direction.

Yes, perhaps I spoke too much about that issue without knowing it myself.
I've only leveled my warlock during these peak hours and noticed that it's way easier than playing my barb.

I've also heard other people with multiple classes state that ranged classes are way easier to play during these lags.

Archers aren't affected too much because most of their spells are instant. The problem is big for Warlocks (it's like casting without Devotion, but with it...), less for Conjus (but still the reaction time is not what it used to be). For Warriors my problems are the position lag/error and instant spells like Trip canceled by running out of range...
