#354, "Mob death timing"


          

Don't know if you want this posted or not, but unless you mean it this way, or the timing is just screwed up.. I got a log for you, I'm fighting several mobs, but at the moment I kill one, I can drink, eat, cast spells, even walk away and etc. on things you normally cannot do in combat... Did you want it this way? See here how I can just walk off

#371, "Always been that way."

Basically, striking down the guy in front of you buys you a split second of breathing room which you can use to act if you aren't lagged. It's one of those things that could be done another way, but it'd be a very difficult change for a minor feature of gameplay that can allow for some quick thinking and surprises.
