Dont know if anyone else has had this problem cant see anything similiar but my google-fu is weak on this kind of thing.
Mobs keep disappearing briefly in fights, it seems to get worse the closer I am. This Doesn't affect summoned mobs or players but everything else from kobalds to dragons keep blinking out of existance for about half a second then reappearing. I can see players hitting them + spell effects they have cast but not them. Also direct spells targeted at them disappear if they are gone at the time of impact I dont ever get the damage number appear on screen but they do appear in the combat log so obviously are doing something.
It also doesnt affect static mobs only the ones actually fighting...when not in combat they are fine

I think I saw something like this in Shan-To-Kor last night with some of the Hobgoblins and Kobolds. I had just assumed that the mobs were simply "recloaking" in the middle of combat to try and hide during combat in order to be sneaky, but those types of mobs aren't supposed to operate in that manner.

Yeah... which quest. This doesn't sound like tech assistance so much as a game bug.

The only thing I could imagine as far as an actual technical issue would be a corruption in your client causing it to not have an animation. So when the mob performs that animation, it "disappears" and reappears when it moves to another animation.
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

I first noticed it in Redwillows a few days ago but only just gone back to my lowbie toons after I been favor zerg running my lvl 20's thru low lvl stuff for last couple of weeks so it could of been happening before that and I just hadn't noticed before.
I've not done any config changes to my system recently and didn't have any issues before so possibly something to do with last update has caused it? Might try reinstalling tomorrow and see if thats clears it had hoped it was something known about that was a easy solvable issue.
