for some reason one of my characters gets inbalanced everytime i fight a snake. none of the other toons i have hardly ever get inbalanced. also when he is not inbalanced and im trying to stomp the snake from shallow water he just starts stomping and walking randomly. is there a new game mechanic i dont know about?

Your character may be diseased. Is there a green debuff in the upper left hand corner of your screen?

just the poison from the dang snake

this is really strange. Without seeing what you are experiencing first hand I can't give you an answer on what is happening.

do you have madness level?

Sounds weird. Can't help with the imbalance, but... Stomping the snake is not the safe method of fighting them. Instead use a slingshot to aggro the snake from a distance, and as it charges towards you bullrun it. If you don't one-hit kill it on impact it will get stunned allowing you to finish it with a follow up move.

whats bullrun?

Bullrun is a move that is unlocked with Fast Moves.

You're probably just lagging. Check your internet connection.

I thought I was crazy thinking this same thing happened one time ... considering how many snakes I've killed I just attributed it to the laptop which goes crazy with the cursor location sometimes. Also was experimenting with one of the custom client's 'autoface' options at the time, which I immediately disabled, have never used again, and have never had an issue again.
