I'm just shy of V5 and playing a Nightblade, light armor, resto staff or shield. It seems like often times combat resolves itself in really weird ways. Enemies will stand up from dead after I die or I'll die with no combat animations. Sometimes I'll take a hit from some typically telegraphed maneuver without the telegraph occurring, 2h knockback being the most noticeable.

I assume I'm not great at the game as I haven't been playing for a month yet, but it's hard to improve without being able to see what's going on. I realize I could change to something more tanky so I have more wiggle room, but if I wanted to stand around taking hits I'd play old MMOs.

Advice on fixing my playstyle is welcome, but if others aren't seeing these sort of bizarre scripting glitches than I could probably fix it on my end somehow.
