If you fight a mob solo and use this ability do you still have this issue or is it only in raids?

I can reproduce it and in fact set about testing it with a second computer/account on auto follow observing it. No, its not 5 sec but it is 1-2 sec. I could not figure out which spell in my line up was the culprit or if it was the rapidity at which I was casting. I was in a group with just other account at the time, no other players in sight. Graphics turned all the way down. Other account on a less sophisticated laptop was perfectly fine through the hitching/lag spike on the primary account.

It happened roughly 1/10min or so and the spells I was mashing at the time of lag seemed to all strike at the same time right when the lag spike ended (basically mob seemed to explode from massive built up dmg I had incoming from my casting rotation, was a common occurrence when I played Vanguard actually).

Nagafen is perma lagged.

It happens all the time, the game went from no fun because of loot to no fun because of loot AND it runs worse than Crysis on a Commodore 64.

Nagafen lag is gone now, but the server is also down.. so...

This is the worst lag I've experienced in eq2. We are one of 2 guilds in VP right now on Nagafen and we simply cannot progress with the spell lag we're experiencing. We aren't sure whether its related to the fact that there are 3 instances of KP full of PvP atm (are the VP and KP zones shared on the same server Zoltarath?)

Simply put, this is unacceptable. I can deal with and work around some lag during peak hours, but right now, we're sitting around waiting for the fighting in KP to go to sleep so we can raid.

But the Fens new one was laggy. It would seem like adds spawning is causing a massive amount of lag. As we all know, Mischief spawns a lot more adds than Disease does, which could cause the lag. Same with the Fens mob as well. It would seem almost connected to adds spawning in a fight. I bet a great test would be to have a Priest/Tank go try MotM and see how horrid the lag is for that fight.

Pull Kra`Thuk or Vision of Vox!

You can lag the shit out of Everfrost if you bug out Kra'thuk so adds spawn over and over.

Tonight in VP we were plagued by the lag. The lag was definitely server side lag as we would cast fine but the completion and reuse of spells and CAs were drawn out. For me this lag was about 2 - 3 seconds in duration; very frequent.

The lag relating to gameplay only happened when we engaged the mob. It cleared after we wiped.

There was consistent chat lag in and out of combat with mobs. Somtimes this lag would be up to about 20 seconds.

Don't forget the dreaded lag of Doom on rightclick...

Horrible lag on splitpaw yesterday as well while raiding at least. Logged in shortly before raid, and had to log early so can't tell if that applied to group/solo play as well.
Raided Tomb of Thuuga first and had server side lag for up over 6 seconds frequently, easy timed since my Ball of Magma was up again as i had landed one and were waiting for the possibility to cast another spell... Which of course became, Ball of Magma. :p
Managed to parse a raidwide dps of half the regular due to this lag, occasionally even less.
Went to VP after that, and it was slight less... barely playable, but better than ToT at least...
No major diff in either ping or bps, no packet loss and steady fps. Applied to everyone and at least one other guild that was in there at the same time as we.
