Mudras are crazy fast now. Mages still can cheat by moving before a cast actually ends.
Since I never had any trouble getting out of AoEs in the content you asked about (which is the main reason why I believe that people either have bad hardware/connection speed or just suck at playing, location based lag isn't at fault..) I can't say I see any difference, but for most people living in Europe, their ping went down to 20-50 ms, so it's a lot better.
But people still suck, so don't expect any big changes ;)
Had one just for fun Titan EX run today and 5/8 people still fell down through landslides..so the only thing that's different now is that they can't blame the server location anymore <3 -
10-21-2015, 12:18 PMWelsper59Just as a tip for you to try when you play, queue for Undersized Titan story and see how it'd affect you. That's what I'd do if I wanted to test out lag from instances.Quote:

10-21-2015, 04:02 PMsirDartsTbh the lag "excuse" was often true.Quote:

I used to have these issues in Titan HM, I was clearly out of landslide when it hit, but there was ~10% chance that it would still connect and kill me (which is pretty bad, since I am a healer, and while Titan HM is solo-healable, it's not super easy). Since I started using WTFast to lower my ping from 140-150 to ~100, I haven't got hit by a landslide, but Weight of the Land would still sometimes hit despite being out. -
10-21-2015, 04:23 PMColorfulI'm often playing with about 200 or so ping to JP and haven't got hit by landslide since a few runs of practice, if you can't adapt to slightly higher ping then I don't believe you should be using lag as your excuse. 300 ping? Sure, 150-250 ping? Then to be honest you need to move a little quicker.Quote:

10-21-2015, 04:59 PMColorfulWith a ping of 150 you don't have to move as soon as the AoE shows up, even with 200ish I can manage moving out halfway through. Maybe it's packet loss, in which case WTFast solved that for you. I do play with WTFast and while the ping is quite horrendous without it (TPG routing is just the best) the packet loss is unbearable and is the larger problem.Quote:

Back when I played WoW my old raiding guild always had that one guy who pinned all of his mistakes on lag, and when his ping was above 100? Literally everything is the fault of lag to him. There is a reason most people don't believe someone when they claim lag, and that's because it's mostly not the truth and there's no way to verify it unless they post a screencap of them pinging the servers or something.Quote:

As Scholar it's a really big improvement.
Now I can get 3 stacks of Aetherflow instantly, and Lustrate lands instantly too.
Also, Swiftcast+spell works instant too. No more "Swiftcast + spamm 100 times the spell until it lands, wasting time".
So basically before EU servers I wasted lots of seconds on raid, just trying to cast stuff, waiting 0,3-0,4 secs everytime I do Aetherflow or Swiftcast or waiting a bit to do Bane.
So in the end I will heal more, do more DPS, dodge better etc etc...
Also, everything else works better. Mini Cactpot works instant too. Switching retainers is not a pain anymore because it's instant too.
I'm happy with the EU Servers :D -

Leatrix Latency Fix can also help with lag if you're on PC, and that's free.

10-21-2015, 09:38 PMChocoFeruYou have to wait like 0,1 or 0,2 secs. I just wait until the dot landed on the mob, then press Bane and it works o,o!Quote:
