[S]Okay, first off... I'm either ungodly awful at searching around the forums with the search stuff, or blind. I KNOW there is stuff already on this but I couldn't find it >.>;

Is there anyway to fix the 'elf range lag' crap?

On my human, I can nearly rapid fire my crossbow with my shity connection and comp...
But on my elf, I can't load the range attack skill until after my elf has gotten out of the fire animation.

They both have the EXACT same options and stuff. My elf uses a bow though, so does that have something to do with it? I'll test with an crossbow later.

On top of this, sometimes for seemingly no reason, my elf will get stuck walking. HOWEVER, she will only walk WHEN SHE TARGETS ANYTHING.

Revive someone? Walk.
Discord? Walk.
Smash? Walk.

Hitting shift won't do anything to fix it, and it doesn't happen that often, but it ONLY happens to her.

I've denagled and all that jazz, but the problem is still there. Any suggestions? I'll do ANYTHING at this point, because I poured my 555ap back into range today for more dex for puppet and some extra balance, but I'd like to use it for range again too!

Edit: Yeah, it's ONLY normal attack with range. Xbow or bow, it doesn't mater.[/S]

So I figured it out. >.> Apparently if you click before a point in the animation, you will lag with the skill, but if you click at just the right time, you will load the skill like normal.

I say this in every thread that involves problems with archery lag, and people probably hate me for saying it so much but...
Have you tried changing your MTU? It helps a lot with skill lag.

Also, I'm pretty sure there's a certain client mod that changes the animation of elf range, but I don't think it's functional anymore, or at least not that I know of.

Yes, I already have my MTU changed, and like I said. My human is 110% fine with range, but my elf just can't load the skill for a while after shooting.
