I know I'm not crazy

Ok - this sounds crazy... but SOW isn't working for me. I am NOT faster than the mobs i am fighting. The spell SAYS it is casted on me... but it doesn't work. It was working earlier.. but I have been slower than all mobs recently with SOW on. What the HECK?

turn your FPS up, that was my problem...i had it set to 47 for some dumbass reason, bumped it back to 100 and i was speeding all through the world

just dont go to solA/B or perma with that setting, everything you do will have a huuuuge delay between client/server.

cost me a large chunk of exp back in my 20s. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

-shrug- 100fps runs and works perfectly for me, i have yet to have any single issue with it aside from the fact that NPC mobs STILL outrun me without sow which is stupid as fuck lol

I'm not sure exactly how this works, but I've read it is a bug that has more to do with the reach of the mobs, than it does the speed of the SoW. When running from the beasties, strafe left and right.

It's a combo of the speed they run and their reach. They are both too fast and too far.

It isn't going to be fixed anytime soon due to technical restraints. It is a known bug.

With SoW you should still run faster. Granted if you're running in a straight line you'll still take a few hits at first because of the large hitboxes. Check if you have a dual core issue (the sticky thread in tech discussion will tell you how to solve this). Without SoW you can also outrun mobs via strafe running - it's not very useful in dungeons but it still works. Basically hold right click on your screen and press up and left or up and right at the same time, so you walk in a perfect diagonal. You'll notice that mobs will almost never touch you when you run like this. If this still doesn't work there's a technical issue on your end.
