VOD is a fun and challenging quest, but the run to get to the quest is a laggy mess. As soon as you agro devils its a slideshow for everyone. No heals hit and swings dont register for 10-20 seconds. it seems to be only devil agro that causes the problem, because when you agro anything else its fine. Any way this can get fixed?

Agreed on the lag. I think what causes the lag is having a lot of devils teleporting, and, more specifically, the fact that they will teleport 2 to 3 feet 10 times a second to stay right next to you if you are moving at all. With 5 or so devils/orthons and a party running around, you're talking around 50 teleports every second. The easy way to solve this would be to FIX devils' (particularly bearded devils') aggro and movement mechanic so that they will run toward the person they are aggroed on unless that target is more than 50 feet away.
