it seems that whenever i kill something with plume shot. on my last shot the enemy gets a counter attack even if it has already attacked and is nowhere near ready to attack again. i hope im explaining this right.
lets say an archer gets to attack every 5 seconds. he attacks on second 1, then again on second 5. if i kill it right then it will attack again which could be second 6. i've actually had it happen where they fired two arrows in rapid succession because it died at the moment it was firing normally.
this does not happen with any other attack of mine. just plume shot. sometimes the attack goes off even if the enemy is falling to the ground and disappearing.
so i ask, is this what normally happens with plume shot?

    It happens with most other skills too. It's been said that this is a lag issue (i.e. mob really did fire off that last shot, but you're seeing it late) - it's not just you.

    I've had it happen with the majority of my skills, so this could support the lag idea.

    atleast its not just me. seems weird though, the rest of the fight doesn't lag. just thier convenient "lets take a bit more damage off" lag. hmmph i say!

    Well, when I first started, I used to think the same - a mechanism designed to slow me down.

    Then again, I have a permanent 1~1.5 second lag in the game so I figure this is where mine comes from.

    I understand what your talking about. I made a cleric a month or two ago and the enemies were doing that. The enemies tend to do it to all classes, not just clerics, it happens just dont worry about it, its not a glitch

    You might want to try kiting and hit you IH before you fire.This person is a troll using your own char is bad examble as you use different build and have all that armour.

    Just because Pocket tank is a barb doesn't mean that he doesn't know what he is talking about. This problem that the OP has raised is actually experienced by ALL players at some point, that is a mob hits you one last time after it was already dead. I know on my low leveled archer that I have died several times to this last "hit from the grave". I believe the general consensus is that game lag causes this delay in the last hit.


    I don't understand why you think getting angry and calling Pocket Tank a troll is appropriate mysti, he was being helpful.

    Your a way better troll than he could ever be.
