Cant hit anything

[USB]

Can someone shed some light on this problem. i just rolled up a new toon an got her to lvl 4. what i like doing with her is focusing my extreamly high dps onn those little koblold shamans, thing is they run around alot. well i cant hit them. running on his tail and no matter how muuch i swing at him i get no swing an miss or hit. maybe 5% of the time i score a hit. i know im going to get a re0ply sayinng im getting -4 to hit, but i dont even get a roll on it. seems like i need to be runnig ahaead of the little critter.

Funny thing is that when i run my clr from the twelve, im running like crazy with nothing runnning ahead of me or not even close to my tail an im getting punded like a turttle by a freaking ogre with a +5 evil bursting greater clr bane maul. whats up with that.

give me someting someone cause this is just bull &%?

What you have to do is......

Ask their mom if they can come out and play otherwise you have to cut them off to hit them.

I think everyone has this same problem and it is frustrating.

The run from the 12 to Meridia is so fun as I haste and sprint boost and that scorpion just runs 10 feet behind me and nails me on every swing.

This is a sure dev issue.

You do need to be running ahead of them. You have to lead the target to be able to get a chance to even hit them.

Can you say 'LATENCY'?

The bug I hate is when you wand a cure spell and you go through the animation, deduct a wand charge, have a cooldown but no spell effect (Same for manyshot and rage - that is THE worst!)

..And then die from the scorpion nipping your heels....

yeah that rage is bad too, i hate it when it does that. glad to hear im not the only one so what can they do to fix it cause it stinks very much. run backwards so they dont get a +2 to hit on us? even though we get - on ac form moving an they probably dont get any penalty for running and swinging cause those critters are so uber on normal

Don't chase.
I have found almost all throwers, archers, and caster types are not going to stop running. What u do, stand thier, shield block if ur in a room with a lot of mobs, if not just stand there, and eventually they will stop to make an attack. This is a matter of maybe a few feet from you. While going to attack it is easy to move out of the way of thier ranged attack (throwing axe, arrow, scorching ray) while moving forward to them and gives you plenty of time to get to them to hit them. Running after a ranged type is a waste of time, and they will keep moving for the most part, often times leading u into an ambush.
