Since i first started pvping i remember animations being buggy and not going off, but it has never been as bad as now:

0.04 - heavy attacking into heroic bash cancel, notice how it spazzes out
0.09 - i use a DB after the dizzying goes off, DB animation or effect doesn't show at all
0.10 - I use reverse slice, animation doesn't show at all, the dmg appears a whopping 2 seconds later after the victims body glitches back a few meters
Look at my ping and fps counter, it's perfectly stable, i was not lagging at the time.
I notice this happens especially a lot on a stamden, and not just with 2h but with DW too, animations just don't go off half the time and neither does the sound whenever i attack players on my stamden, Dizzying swing is also a big factor for sure on any class, whenever i use dizzying, any skill that i use after the dizzying hits will just not show its animation or sound or it will show at an extreme delay, the skills hit the target tho. This is extremely annoying and makes the game constantly feel laggy even when it's not lagging. Is this just me btw? Because i rarely see people complain about this.
