Option for avoiding lag.

One theory that has popped up about our lag is that CL has to find its path; this makes you lag as the server has to calculate the path itself. It is for this reason that many do not lag when there is only one mob. If there is more mobs, however...

USE ICE DEMON!

If you are anything like the ILs in my server, it does not lag you whatsoever, even on the largest mobs. Try it out.

[quote=Asiaox123]I didn't read it; It just makes sense, doesn't it? Because AA checks for how many times we've hit the monster to calculate damage increase.
Also, now that I think of it, Ice Demon only hits once every time, which means it wouldn't trigger AA at all, unless you took more than 3 Ice Demons to kill a mob (which only happens in like LHC/SH). Also, on average, with max AA, you'd need six Ice Demons to trigger one damage bump, which is another reason you never see AA lag. CL, on the other hand, triggers an Arcane Aim bump about every cast.[/quote]

If CL were to hit a mob six times in the way you are describing it, it would flinch six times. Being hit is not the same as different layers of damage.

[quote=Asiaox123]AA procs once every hit of the attack, I believe. Ice Demon only hits 1 time; CL hits 6.[/quote]

Oh really? Where did you read that? It might help ILs with other problems if we take a look at this source.

[quote=Kalemora]The lag is caused by Arcane Aim attempting to activate too many times. With how Arcane Aim currently works, it tries to activate on every mob you attack, so the more mobs hit = more attempts. I think this might've been changed with the latest reorganization in KMS though, but I'm not 100% sure.[/quote]

The reason I am skeptical about this is because the skill I just told to try does not lag for my friends at all, even though Arcane Aim is turned on and it is functioning against several mobs.
