Against enemy groups of three or four I'm usually fine. When they get more than that, however, my attacks seem to get bogged down in some sort of combat-glue.
I will target an enemy and tap the appropriate key, only to be subject to a few rounds of attacks before the attack has any effect on the target. It is worse when I am attacked by mixed melee and missile and want to switch target to the melee enemy. I try to click or Tab but the selected enemy is still the missile user. I then go for the missile spell to attack him, hoping to knock him out before I'm cut down by Mr Melee.
No such luck.
I am informed that he is out of range. I assume that the server now has the melee opponent targeted but no, he has taken no damage. Some random innocent in a random dimension has apparently just been hit by that last attack.
In the struggle to target and make the attacks, my opponents turn me into mince. Even drinking Cure potions doesn't help, because the potion doesn't take effect until after I die. Great, not only am I dead but I have just wasted a Cure potion.
It came to a head just now. To recover my husk I had to fight the same bandit group four times, each time with the same result - death by server/connection lag. By the time I picked up my gear it was hardly worth recovering.
Now I may not have the fastest broadband connection or the highest-spec computer, but neither are exactly slouches and happily cope with every other MMORPG I play.
Does anyone else suffer this issue?

If there are ranged bandits, almost guaranteed that once melee reach you the ranged are interrupting you. Your animation will play in most cases. You may get a small print "attack interrupted". A solo player with T1 +2 gear can still die easily to a few Bandits once they switch to interrupt attacks.
Edit: unless you change your strat to deal with interrupts - 0.6 attacks, keeping out of range, having a partner who takes them out ;)
