Probably not a bug per se, but no idea where else to note this.


Too many times I suffer damage from an AoE attack when I am nowhere near the AoE.


Latency spike, other lag issue, all in all problematic.


Clearly, the server is seeing me in a different position than what I see on screen.


The only way to combat this is for damage to be calculated based on the client-side data, but I can't see that happening.


No idea what to do about it.
