Even if you can freely attack, your combo would be far from average having to skip many skills to fit the timeframe. It's just how bad ping affects pvp, expecially lancer.
1. Lancer - lancer requires fast and precise blocking and counter attack. No high ping for lancer. It's better to play Brawler.
2. Gunner- gunner's 2nd powerful skill is burst fire. If you have macro for burst fire, then Gunner will be good choice for high ping. Without macro burst fire, try another class.
3. Mystic - lancer and mystic have shortest iframe. They got only one and the worst iframe. Lock on time gets slower with high ping.
I played and have evertyhing other than ninja and reaper and imo the worse to best class for high ping is as follow:
Sorc and Archer - You gonna lose lots of dps from it due to sorc slow casting (by slow casting i mean the time it takes from the moment u press the skill, till it get released) and lock ons, and archer rapid fire that now is a main skill and shoots really slow with high ping, which nearly makes the skill useless
Lancer and Warrior - If u dont mind lose some damage by trading some roll on ur wep for put some atk speed on it, (with energetic III if possible) u can play this just fine (ive imperator on both and im pretty good at it, all things considered). Your commands gonna respond a lot better (will never be like a 20-30ms game but yea)
Gunner, as ppl said before, you can play gunner on high ping just fine, but if u dont have macro for burstfire, u gonna lose a crucial dps skill (same case as Archer rapid fire, only diference is, Gunner BF still have a solution, Archer RF doesnt)
Berzerker - Personally, the ping on zerk dont bother me at all since i dont "chain" any skills (read spacebar) but ive seem some low ping zerk in action and yea my game is kinda slow compared, but as i said before, it doesn bother me.
Brawler and Slayer - Prolly the best ping friendly classes due to animation cancel on most of the skills so yea, best classes for high ping doubtless.
Healers - Once you get used with the timing of ur lock-ons and iframes, it wont bother u at all with (a steady) high ping
My ping is 180-200ms and my fps is something around 20-30 in 5man dg and can drop as much as 7-10fps in raid
Hope this helped but yea, you just gonna know for sure when you test it urself
update your computer stop paying for Elite :P
20 fps in dungeon/ 7 fps in raid
OOMMMGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOO
I got everything on 65, my ping is around 150 ~ 250 and it works fine.
Yes, even lancer and zerker.
Define what is fine.
Hahaha yea its a lil old toaster xD and I dont pay elite, I get it from broker
Now my fps is (a lil) better overhall but yea, when some classes like ninja or brawler enters the pt, its omg byebye fps. Its "doable" id say
