I'm debating changing class due to having horribly terrible internet, thanks to my barracks being the only one on base that doesn't get comcast.
When I try bashing as a monk, my combos get interrupted from lag, afflictions going through mid-combo, and other things of that sort.
I'm stuck here for at least another five months, probably longer, and can't request transfer to another barracks. :\

Any suggestions for ways to deal with horrible internet (800ms ping at times, about 400~600 on average), or a class that I could actually hunt with like this?
(Currently level 81 at 94%. Have level 2 knuckles, level 1 gauntlets, level 1 belt, gem of transmutation, and level 3 crit pendant)

Also to note: Paladin, Priest, Infernal, Apostate, and Occultist aren't appropriate suggestions, considering my character. ;(

I recommend Sylvan, if it is just about bashing - really tanky + one command to bash + passive curing available.

Reading Comprehension is still at 100% I see!

If you're that butthurt about it, Danith, roll a Dawnstrider and go for house lord.

I can only imagine that the Dawnstriders (whose requirements for becoming HR3 are 1) learn how to find Fish Street, then head northeast, and 2) find your way into the Ackart-Sparrow bloodline) would be just as mind-numbingly painful to "change" as well. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Go back to doing whatever the hell you want!

Maybe try actually making a Dawnstrider novice, then. You are very much wrong, in that regard.

You were saying?

P.S. It's perfectly fine to allow one family entire control of a House. Hell, for years you may as well have called the EA the Shu'in Assembly. And no matter what anyone says, Manuella and Torain were fine leaders.

I didn't know you could lead the position, and be an aide.
Also - there are a few of us who aren't Ackart-Sparrows!

Like...a mafia? Why not?

Dawnstriders. Shallam's Mafia. Hmm... may have potential. If they could just get rid of all those classes.

Well, no point in having an empty House in Shallam now is there.

Maybe if they concentrated on what the actual Guild was and you know, BE A SERPENT HOUSE they'd be alright.

Don't be fooled by this being a suggestion stemming from WoW... latency in a graphical game is probably more pressing a concern than in a text game (even one as dynamic as Achaea) and the way Windows operates is flawed when it comes to gaming (and many other things).

I could find you technical sites that explain it, but I don't feel like it, so instead I'm linking you to a so-called Warcraft Addon site for "Leatrix Latency Fix". It does all the configuration for yo, and is in no way a WoW-only thing.

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info...LatencyFix.html

This should cut back your latency by roughly 50%. Try this out before doing anything else.

(also, if you're on a wireless internet connection on Vista, it's messing you up good every 60 seconds and you need something called "VAL" "Vista Anti-Lag")

[edit: it's possible that Achaea operates on a completely different mechanism and that latency in Achaea stems from other things, in which case, sorry... but it's worth checking out anyways.]

what lol.

what lol.

Read the opening post, intelligent reader, and you will make the link between my post and said opening one.

Kairuni: sucks that the latency is that bad WITH the fixes... That's been my trick to getting most peoples' latency down in most games (latency packet response fix + anti-lag)
