>Yesterday, the lag was incredible. Constant 15% to 35%, surges and spikes

>So, rather than venture into some hard dungeon, I was helping a group do
>HG's off the wood bridge in North Karanas. Staying back, buffing and mana
>song. So, then I decide ok, let's try Denons with horn and see how he

>it. Great - he's wincing away nicely.

>Then my friend Kaldivar comes by and asks about fenne's and charms. So, I

>On the way there, I cant get selo's to lock and stay up. I click, it trys,

>"you are burned" and whoof 2 plus bubs of hp dissappear. Btw: Kaldivar
>says
>"oh I dunno, he is red to me" Hehe - I start running away and frantically
>yelling "ZNE, ZNME, ZONE!!" You are burned. Another 2 bubs gone and a
>glimpse of the goodie werewolf hunter chasing me as well.

>Now I am keying and clicking Selos very, very fast and desparately trying
>for a zone. Praise the Gods! It finally stuck and I escaped to the

>Karana.

>So, all I can think of is Denons was locked on - due to some lag bug? Selos
>would not start and since there is no icon and were no other mobs being hit
>- there was no screen message to see. But seems even wierder than that. I
>scrolled back to see what spell he was casting and do not recall seeing "a
>Xannthoulos winces" message. Not that is some strong "bard hate" when
>stuff
>that likes you attacks you!!

>After a bit, the lag seemed to settle enough so I went and helped my group
>kill spectres. Even with 3 and 4 of them getting pulled, it seemed almost
>too easy. Of course we did have an enchanter handling the crowd control.
>She could park them as necessary while we feared (although not the bard
>fear) and killed the others. Hehe, spectres are too easy. Never thought I
>would be saying that.
