I do think most of it is latency... it seems that the Cryptic servers and/or network can't keep up with the amount of load being placed on them. That is fixable to a point. Along with that they still need a better software solution for GF's guard to deal with situations where latency creeps up and packets are dropped.
It's amazing to me that they require split second timing and paying attention to mobs in great detail and then don't provide you the proper tools to do that. There wouldn't be such rampant exploitation of skills and environment if the base mechanics worked and were balanced.
I have not had issues with block response time. Outside of the ever-present l...aaa....gg.......gggallalla........gg..ll. in this mod. this. in mod. in la..in...mod....GGGGGGGGG! What is not lag and hurts GF is the number of CCs that completely ignore our block. No other class has to contend with that unreliability.

Can all that have issues with holding down shift can please confirm if they have the same problems with a mousebutton or with Ctrl? From a developers perspective anything multiwindowed multifocus that relies on shift IS problematic due to the way WM_SYSKEYDOWN eats up unfocussed messages. It could also be fixed by actively use GetAsyncKeyState() instead of relying on WM_NOTIFY to catch hold-status of single keys.
Sometimes it is lag, but lag only makes it worse, the problem is still there without it. Guard to me just is slow and unresponsive, it doesn't activate fast enough and there is so many bugs with it.
Has enyone since mod 6 encountered your shield staying raised ? a few times it wont go down so I,m walking around and my stamina is just wasting, and it only ends when all my stamina is gone... Things like this should not happen.
And yeah if our shield activated faster I could see how that might make us better in pvp, I don't want that. I like where gf is at in pvp right now, we aren't best class but we are in a good place.
But for pve I really wish they could do something about it.

Lag, *******, or maybe I'm to drunk to understand. I can do it over and over. This ****ing shield simple not working. And it's **** often !
There is another thread about this somewhere, I've misplaced it, either way though the sheilding issue was also raised there by multiple gf's so its not new and all the sarcastic replies don't change that :P
I find that there are a few bugged issues on the gf, the sheild showing animation but not actually shielding being one, another being Indomitable Strength, it pays the sound and the graphics but more often than not fails to do anything beyond that ^^: At first i thought it was dodges but having looked a bit closer its not, not sure if this is a latency issue or what, but its another issue.
GF's are hard enough to play without bugs xD so hopefully they address the sheilding issue.

The main issue for me is how unresponsive and bugged our guard actually is. I was in elol today and a red aoe appered on me, ok so gf moves slow so I wouldn't have been able to outrun it so I tried to lift guard but nope, it took so long that the aoe hit before my shield would raise.
Guard should activate faster I think. I have no issue with the difficulty but I really don't like some things about gf class. Most other classes have an effective escape that is quite easy and quick to use and I would prefer one on gf if our guard is gonna stay like this. I already posted a list of bugs in mod 5 and our guard still isn't fixed

Whats your ping (/netgraph 1,,,,,,, /Netgraph 0 to disable) if its around 100-200 then yes, you'll have a delay. you must remember that you must send your imputs to the server.

Just scrap current CW design and import Knight Enchanter from Dragon Age Inquisition.
Go Cryptic!
PS - I quit.
Whatever you just smoked, do you mind sharing?
