Lag in combat?

I experience intermittent lag in combat, but only in combat. Everything else in the game seems to run fine, but in the middle of a fight the NPC will stop attacking and my mouse and hotkeys become unresponsive, then seconds later the game "catches up". It really sucks.

Anyone else have this issue? Is there no way to check ping in game?

    Should I ping their servers or just a general speedtest?

    In the same boat, in Germany, and I have anywhere from a minimum of 160ms -400ms in PVE, and in PVP it can reach an unplayable 1000ms. I have a 100MB/s internet speed.

    I've really tried to be positive where possible on the forums... But is it just me that thinks this is getting worse?

    Playing a NB on my main I use shadowy disguise a LOT to ramp up my crit and do big surprise attack hits... but this requires precise timing to hop into invis as an enemy starts a power attack, and then get your next attack off before your invis runs out.

    Combat lag at times makes this impossible, even if it's only for .5 seconds...

    edit : yeah, it's definitely worse today than i've experienced before. I'm dying at times when no enemy's appear to be hitting me because for me their striking animations haven't happened yet... but suddenly WHOMPH 500 damage.
