People that I have cast "Raise" on while they are holding a 2 handed weapon will have their weapon remain on the ground under them once returning to life. When they draw their weapon it appears in their hands as it should but once they put it away again it goes back onto the ground in the position it would be in if they were still dead. Unsure if it was my zoning or theirs, or if it simply corrects itself in time, but it does seem to go away. People I cast "Raise" on who are using a 1 handed weapons, a 1 handed weapon and a shield, or two 1 handed weapons seem to be fine. The person Raised does not see the bug either, it is apparently only visible to me.

*EDIT* To clarify, when I said "it goes back onto the ground in the position it would be in if they were still dead" I meant that it goes on the ground where they're currently standing not back to where they died. It sort of comes out of their foot and moves with them.

That sounds like a hardware or internet lag issue. whats your hardware like?

Oh yeah, I see this happening a lot, too. Think it's when you cast cure on them before the raise animation is done? Think it makes them spellocked for a bit longer than necessary, as well, so don't cure until after the person runs out of AoE range! That's often what makes one die twice in a row. Very annoying!

Certainly isn't from lack of hardware, but I'll post my comp specs at the end of the post. As far as internet, if it were lag it wouldn't just be 2h weapons and wouldn't only be when raising someone, would it? I also don't believe I cured either person before they were "alive". On paladin I barely had enough mp to cast Raise, let alone heal them after it. *Added a note to clarify better on original post, just pointing it out here.*
