I tend to avoid having particle effects on (at least high) when I'm raiding because even though it doesn't seem to stutter or whatever, it seems to make my casting speed much slower. When I first started going through Castle Mistmoore (if you've been there, you know), I had my particles on and my casting speed was slower. This is without the debuff, mind you. When I turned off my particles, my casting speed was back to normal.

What SoE needs to do is:

1) Spell and Class consolidation
2) Revamp dungeons
2a) Give bosses new skins so they look different instead of a giant droag or a random vampire
3) Make lag not so much of a problem. They introduced contested spawns and they should've foreseen the issues that might've could've ensued. Last night, we were fighting Pumpkin Headed Horseman and there were several other guilds there and it was a lagfest. When we fought Avatar of Flame, there were over 120 people in Lavastorm and there was roughly 2-6 second delay which caused awful problems when dealing with adds.
