Sever Lag with Artificer Class

[~anotherbilbo]

Not sure this is the right place to post, or if the right title of the post, but as of the latest patch, playing my artificer has become a real issue. Using the repeating crossbow, I am targeting enemies, and attacking but not having any effect, other than to draw their attention to me. The animation of the shots goes off, the noise of the xbow firing goes off, but I do not see any attacks or misses, and the enmies do not seem to be taking damage.

I wish i could say that this is a constant problem, so that I could report it as a bug, and try to get help, but it seems to be completely random as to when its going to happen. On my 3rd life, so some quests i farm on E/H/N to keep bravery streaks going, and to maximize exp. Yesterday, during a quest, on E and N, i basically tagged along with the group, but had difficulty moving and attacking, and didn't really contribute to the DPS at all. On Hard mode, everything I shot at, showed as being either a hit or miss, with all the proper damage, and the quest went smooth. I have checked my internet connection and it seems to be the same reliable speeds that it has always been, and nothing is running on my computer in the background that would interfere with my game play.

This attack/movement issue is only happening with my artificer class characters, of which I have 2. It doesn't seem to be affecting any of my other toons, and I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue?

Had same issue in a shroud last night - real annoying to see about 20 bolts fly off but no damage tickers (they weren't delayed, they were non-existant)

Bug happens mostly while kiting so im assuming that the AIMing doesnt work (maybe similar to old spell misfires) it seems to have less problem when i turn auto-aim off and manually target... tho i still miss occassionally even when standing still and aiming directly at the mob.............

Not sure if its related but also noticed a bug where the 3 mobs i had lined up all appeared to drop HP at same rate but once the rear target fell and i realigned to the other mobs the 2 mobs still had 1/4 hp, seems that the hp tracker is only showing one mobs hp bar for each mob you are going to hit.......
