    If you aren't having any trouble dodging those, though, then it isn't lag.
    How is that "true lag"? If the cast bar on Landslide starts before the telegraph appears and the telegraph persists after the cast bar has completed, you have exactly the same issue shown in the original post (which you just stressed was caused by slow video hardware a few posts up and not latency issues between the server and client). That same problem can lead to you believing that you escaped the landslide by "inches on your monitor", yet got tossed from the platform anyway.

    I completely disagree that there is anything even remotely "extremely graphic-intensive" about the *telegraphs* for WotL, which are showing up late compared to the cast bar. Combined with the fairly simple (and small) environment of this trial I'm having a difficult time buying into this excuse.
