Effects of ping/latency on animation lock and ability to perform rotations normally.

[Katt_Felista]

I have a 33 ms ping on Chaos servers from the EU and i still have weird 0,3 0,4 second delay between an animation playing and the real impact of an attack that FORCES me to anticipate everything, and skill queueing is about the same very very subtle delay but i think it's enough to make me loose major combo numbers on the duration of a full fight if everything is on slight delay and i have to anticipate my next skills / combo's and things that aren't poping up on time on my skill bar.

I tried things like forcing nvidia reflex anti lag tech and such but it just don't seem to work with ffxiv. I thought it was my screen, i bought a 1 ms 144hz ips one, i thought it was maybe my mouse, and keyboard, so i bought those supposed "lightspeed" types with better dpi, doesn't change this delay. I don't know, i tried a few angles to problem solve this on the hardware and software end, maybe i should use some kind of anti lag vpn ? or is this very slight lag "part" of the game in the end and just deal with it ?

Especially outrageous on shiva's type of explosion on phoinix (p3s), i avoid them no problem but it's like playing a very slightly anticipate the real explosion that detonated way before the "visual" effect is displayed. It's very subtle and a tiny delay but it still exists, and it's sometimes enough to have trust issues with what you see on screen if you don't know the fight by heart.
