So Ive been swarm kiting on my bard for a while now and I will randomly have lag spikes that will end in my death. I've noticed that while at lower levels it happened less frequently, I'm not in OT at 35 and it happens with almost every pull. I have slowed down to between 5-10 mobs per pull so that when I do lag, I can survive a hit.
Regardless of Rants that people may have on bards, Id like the issue resolved. I have searched the forums and found that others had similar issues but never found a resolution. This issue is the same on all systems I've tried it on in my household making me believe it may be a network issue.
Below is the system that I run.

I have dropped all settings within game to minimize any lag that may be caused my in game variables, and have adjusted the games resources to set a high priority affinity with a single core within my processor as well. None of this has changed the lag issue but of course made the game look crappy.
My thoughts are that while in game my connection/latency is 100% between 100-130ms and this may be causing the issue. I run all of my systems, desktop included on a wireless G network. This weekend I intend to go find a wire long enough to reach my router and see if that resolves the issue, but does anyone else have a suggestion?
