None of my other female assassins or shadows do this

So I've got an issue on my shadow, a single shadow character where her running animations with a weapon out keep stuttering. It's almost like she's in the middle of the animation then it gets cut and restarts and does that over and over. Looks like she's trying to figure out which foot to step with constantly. I've tried changing armors, changing weapons from my usual pike to a regular dual blade, and nothing works. I've also tried going onto other shadows I have as well as assassins and this issue doesn't show up on ANY of them, so it's simply isolated to this one character. I've also tried uninstalling and redownloading the entire game just last night and still the same issue persists. Anyone have an idea as to why this could be? Thanks for any help! P.S. I know this could be in the bug section of the forum but since it's only on a single character I didn't know if it would fit there.

I mean it seems totally broken. It would be akin to sorcerer aoe lightning storm only showing lighting for the first tick of dmg then nothing, just the sorc floating in the air and dmg continuing

Yeah it is but i'm glad it's not just me. I was worried i would have to reinstall my game completely to fix it.

When I use forcequake the screen shakes once at the start and the sound plays once at the start and then after that the only indication i have of it continuing is the green aoe circle and the dmg ticks. Anyone else have this issue?

It seems this is causing my game to not display the animations for new skills. A repair and running in retail mode from now on might help

None of my sentinel/mara/guardian/jugg display effects for the animation for this skill. They do the motion but nothing comes out but the dmg registers. Is this an issue with my client? I hope I don't have to reinstall the whole thing that would take me hours. Maybe a repair? I'm simply wondering if it's just me

if you're hesitant about the ssd i'd put that off for now since it is easily upgradeable and i would put that money towards getting the 880m. The difference between the 860m and 880m is pretty large and by getting the 880m you'll be set for a good while as far as future games. Upgrading a graphics card is much more difficult on a laptop than the hard drive

I highly recommend Sager brand laptops, known as clevo probably in europe. They come with the same hardware inside that many brands such as dell, alienware, hp, sony, etc charge hundreds of dollars more to have included. Some do find that the exterior (the case) is not as "pretty" as they'd like, they usually do not come with LED lights and flashy bits but personally I prefer the "this is a normal laptop" look over the "this is my ricer civic in laptop form" look. For load speed in terms of maps you'll be wanting to look for an SSD hard drive instead of the usual, you'll find that these offer far better load times as well as start up (boot) times. As for loading npcs and environments that would be your graphics card or a combination of graphics card and cpu i think. Any of the recent processors, particularly the i7 line from intel, should serve you well though. These chips will allow you to multitask without much issue as long as you're not planning on running 5 games at one time. For fps you should be fine with pretty much any of the modern stand-alone graphics cards and if you find a laptop you like i would suggest looking the card up on google to see what kinds of fps other people have had. Youtube is also a great resource for that type of thing. Batter life will depend on the power of the laptop but most laptops that are made for gaming are meant to be plugged in for most of their lifespan, so while you don't have to expect 30 minutes of battery life, I would not expect 30 hours either. Just looking quickly online even 900 usd would get you a laptop that was good enough in my opinion, but if you wanted you could climb up to the sky as far as price goes. Laptops by nature are not as future proof as desktops but they have gotten much better so I wouldn't concern myself with it UNLESS I had the money to drop for a top class graphics card which is the main part that would prevent you from playing future games. I'm not an expert on these things but I wanted to throw what I knew out there since lots of people I know have never heard of this brand and I think as far as value goes these can't be beat.
