spell effect lag...

[Tallika_Runwithbears]

does anyone else have serious lag with the particle effects that have prismatics in them??  Like the melee damage reactive when it terminates and puts that big rainbow ring around you.  Or when you charm something??  THAT one is the worst!!  its not so bad when you have your camera far away in 3rd person but if your in 1st person it practically freezes me up and i can't even move my cursor i'm lagging so hard.

I get that for one of the druid group heals no matter how low I turn my settings, bit annoying. On a somewhat related note, I had to respec out of agi, because the perpetuality buff made the game freeze for a second or two, when it jumped to level 5 at once (which it did on some spells), and I didn't even see a graphical effect for that one.

Yeah Talli, charm is bad for that. Turn your effects down. Haven't done prismatics yet. So not sure.

<p>/bump</p><p>This post was originally entered a year ago, and the issue still has not been fixed.  It remains the #1 cause for my coercer to die while trying to re-charm a pet while in battle: when I cast the charm spell, the prism effects which cannot be turned down or off nearly lock up my computer which has a 256MB video card in it.</p>
