Skill Lag/Stuttering

I have been having a few extremely annoying problems with neverwinter that I do not have with any other game.
1. Skill lag: This almost makes the game unplayable for me, especially in PvP I use a skill and 5 seconds later it will do it and people will be in different places. same in PVE.
2. Stuttering/freezing? Not sure exactly what to call this but ever 8 seconds or so My pet/npcs/ and other players just randomly freeze for a few seconds and then continue...this makes the game annoying to play as well because feels like I am watching a slideshow.
The skill Lag is new for me the past month but the freezing part has been since the beginning...any tips how to fix this is greatly appreciated even though I feel like the only way to fix this is through NW servers since I have seen other people with same problems.
It is not on my end that's all I know...Every other game runs on max smoothly no lag whatsoever.
thanks

And updating my direct x (i think it was more of a downgrade), to the version which
was included in the champions online (steam version, not arc) install.
[the polish version of the NW website still offers the arc-less installer]
And i have 0 stuttering/ lag, again.

Baby Cakes, lvl 60 GWF.
*******, lvl 60 TR.
Premium Juicebox, lvl 60 CW.
Pink Exxxtacy, Ranger
There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
Guess I can try this, what do you mean about the direct x part? Not sure how to downgrade that
If you're lucky and you installed the new version recently and haven't done any major other changes; you can just restore your computer to prior to install.

Are you referring to Windows System Restore? I'd strongly recommend against ever using that feature unless Windows is completely hosed and you have no other option.
Kind of depends which version of windows you're running. XP was terribad, I will not deny that fact.

I just installed champions online. The directx that came along with it, fixed my stuttering problem. I removed the game afterwards. In my case an accident actually fixed NW. I was about to "go away" for a while because of the stuttering and decided to install champions online, again. However, after i realized that i only had about 20 minutes left, until my 6/7 celestial coins would expire, i gave invoking another shot and to my surprise, there was no lag, no stuttering, no freezing anymore.
Keep in mind, this is a suggestion. It might not work for you, but i wanted to share how i got it fixed on my rig. I did use dx 11, now dx 9 if that helps. (w7 enterprise)
The real question is, what causes the stuttering? ARC or the game itself.
Yeah thanks for the suggestions, Which directx do you have? I actually have champions installed already, downloaded it last week. Mines directx11
dx 9, now - latest version. win 7 32.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll be able to play again, soon. I'll keep my eyes open and post things here, if i can find more input about this issue.
Thanks a lot:) I really wish I could play but these issues just take the fun out of it.
So get use to the lag it will be here now for along time to come.
Ping around 170, but rapidly oscillating. Have no idea wtf is with this ping, I have very good 100 mbps connection that used to gave 30-40 ping on WoW.
So you say the problem is .
I have good pc and good net -connection.
And the problem is by me and other ....hudred player's.
Not with server or game client.
I am no programmer, but i buyed Alienware X51 to play game's.
Beause i don't want to change setting's.
Becuse i don't want to change router setting's.
Mybe i am dump and the problem is by me.
I can max every game fine as well and never had interent problems but, maybe this game requires a little different wifi settings? I have no idea if this actually solved the problem yet but i hope so. I know nothing about networking so not sure if that helped or not.
