Super Strength Alternate Animation Lag?

I'm using the Bright hero alternate animations for SS on my ss/inv brute, and at times have been experiencing really bad animation lag in instanced missions to the point that the damage dealt doesn't register until after a few seconds, or knockdown animations occur before I've hit the mob. I've also had insps/salvage/recipes drop before the mob is dead.

At first I suspected mapserver lag as sometimes I got the connection error flag up briefly, but none of my other charaters suffer from this kind of lag. Has anyone else had this kind of experience?

Another thing I've noticed is whilst inside missions SS attacks have knockdown/up effects, but outside of missions they all do knockback. WAI?

If you attack lower level opponents, the knockdown can become knockback, so that might be what you're seeing outside missions. No clue on the other stuff.

I actually crash/lag terribly from SS characters being in my group or in the enemy group. I don't know if it's related to the power effect sounds, massive group knockbacks, or the animation itself. My .pigg files are not corrupted, because I've redownloaded them seperately multiple times to test the theory.

The new animations are slightly more demanding processer-wise. If you are having minor connection issues, these animations may make them much more pronounced.

I'm had this kind of issue occasionally with Kinetic Melee and Electric Control(both new and fancier animation).
