Looking for some Warlock help

<DIV>My fellow warlocks, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I need to know what settings you are using to make it so Bony Grasp doesn't lag you to the point of not moving.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have tried turning off ALL spell effects. The hands still appear and do the same thing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am running:</DIV> <DIV>ATI x700 (256MB RAM and 12 pixel pipelines).</DIV> <DIV>AMD 2.8 GHZ</DIV> <DIV>1GB RAM</DIV> <DIV>80GB SATA HDD @ 10,000 RPM</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have NO problems running the game with most of the detail turned pretty far up, however I cannot use my most powerful spell because the system pauses for up to 10 seconds and that leads to my death!</DIV>

There is no setting to make the graphics of bony grasp go away. The best thing you can do, is look the other way when you cast that spell. So you don't see the graphics from it. Leey 60 Warlock Runnyeye <div></div>

<P>Actualy on extreme setting you get no magic effects.And I think there is a dircet option to remove spell effects.</P> <P>You can also play with settings to get cutom ones,particales and such.It will lead to great graphics with good performence.</P> <P>Take an hour playing with it on grey mobs to find out your best settings.</P>

<P>Yea when I first got this spell many moons ago I tryed my hardest to get the option to remove that lagfest and I never found anything. I just look up or turn away from the spell graphic when it lands and turn right back fast to avoid it. Works quite well :smileyhappy:</P> <P> </P> <P>Good luck. </P>

BG doesn't lag on me as long as I have more than 1gb of RAM in a machine. Dunno why that's so, but: Old computer: AXP 2600 - 1gb RAM - laaaaaaaaaag (1152x864) Laptop: P-M 1.7g - 1.25gb RAM - fine (1400x1050) New computer: A64 3500 - 2gb RAM - fine (1280x1024) Buddy's spare computer - AXP 2600 - 1gb RAM - laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag (1280x960) /shrug <div></div>

<DIV>I too have a lot of lag, but my son's machine does not.  It is a Dell Dimension, with a 256 mB Video card (can't remember which one).  Mine is a AMD, with a nVidia 128 mB card.  Does the video RAM seem to make a difference.  The other graphics for warlocks don't cause lag.  I have grouped with healers that have spells that cause lag, especially the wards or group heals.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Has anyone send /feedback to SOE about this issue?  Seems to me that there should be something that can be done that fixes it. </DIV>

<DIV>I didnt know this spell lagged people out, I play on Balanced or High Quaility depending on the zone and usually dont have any lag.  I have 256meg video card and 2gigs of ram tho.   I would think if you put settings on High performance or very High perforfmance you would be alright.  If not try to custimize spells in the graphics options.</DIV>
