    Knockback glitch in P2S

    When submitting a bug report, please use the below template and thoroughly fill out the necessary information.

    Date & Time: Earlier today, around 11am EST-sih
    Frequency: rather rare
    World name: Mateus
    Character name: Claire P
    Monster name: Hippokampos
    Class/Level: RDM/90
    Party or solo: 8man party

    Steps:
    1. Boss readies Shockwave
    2. Press Surecast in the correct time frame (probably applies to Arms Length)
    3. ????
    4. Profit

    To clarify what the issue is, and isnt;
    (1) Its not an issue of the ability not going off
    (2) Its not an issue of using the ability too late/early

    I get server lag in fights every night. (This event was earlier in the day with no visible lag) When I hard cast a spell with lag, it triggers dual cast, but only after 0.5s - 1.5s. If I press an ability like Surecast when lagging, the buff will NOT show up right away. (Or not at all sometimes)
    If the buff shows up, and starts ticking down, that means it triggered, and the server saw it, and is now telling me i have it.

    Because of dual cast, when i press Sure Cast, I watch the seconds left on the buff. Sometimes I press it semi early, to make sure i get it off in time, and if its too early, I adjust and run into the boss AoE, so I dont get pushed into the water.
    Having either no lag, or minimal rare spikes, I was working on this boss no problem. Ive seen many people complain about this, but I always assumed they made a mistake or its just lag.

    But here comes shockwave... I pressed it, not too early enough for it to wear off, and not too late enough to not make it. I see the buff on my buff UI bar.
    I see the seconds ticking down. id say roughly at the 2.5s range (it says 2 seconds left) the bosses attack finishes, and pushes me back... as the timer is still ticking the last 2 seconds away.

    Lag didnt prevent the ability going off 3.5/4 seconds ago, so the server saw I had the ability, and then told my game to show the timer.

    Ive seen a reverse version of this for years, so idk if its related or not, but if you press a movement key for a fraction of a second, and do NOT use arms length or surecast, u wont get pushed back anyways, despite there being no reason for this. (Id say its a 5-10% chance of working)
    It also might be fight specific. idk. never seen it happen prior in other savages/EX fights.
