Jousting/movement questions

[erog84]

I've played on red for awhile and figured I'd finally ask some questions I've been wondering about (ya I should of asked a long time ago so I wasn't so noob at jousting).

- Any tricks to jousting besides just practicing a shit ton? Before the smaller hit boxes went into effect, I was decent (beat some guys badly but also some people beat me badly in jousting). Now it seems I can't do anything and yet get hit nonstop from people who are 20 feet away from me all the time.

- "warping". While jousting someone is warping all over 10 feet at a time across my screen(melee, not shadowstepping). Got a good computer and such, internet can be a bit spotty sometimes, but I am wondering if this is just a result of weird eq movement mechanics while someone is strafing? Also occasionally I will see someone warp 100 feet away (not a class that can use shadow step). Has happened maybe 4 times in pvp in the last 2 months, and didn't seem like it was lag. Was wondering if I am the only one with these issues.

- Movement speed, I dispell someones sow, they use jboots. I have sow on, and im strafing in the same line as them, and they are still outdistancing me (no I am not encumbered).
