I have noticed that sometimes when as an EK I am chasing a distance attack monster, once I hit the monster it will appear to slow down so I can hit it each attack round, with others they will seem to run away at the normal speed. Curious if this is some sort of game mechanic or if it is something on my end to do with my ping (300 on a good day)?

Sorry in advance for the horrible question structure

Any help much appreciated

A good way to check if your lagging is to check your ping by pressing Alt + F8. If this is a new creature to you and your not sure of their behavior it can be quite confusing. Creatures can have different abilities and behavior, some that we can't even calculate or can be quite random it all depends on the creature. I do know as soon as you engage with a creature it will begin to use spells. Some creatures run away and actually can haste or even charge at a certain hit point, typically deep red. A good example of this would be Nightmares or Minotaur Hunters. It is indeed a monster behavior, and every monster is different. My suggestion to you would be to name the creature your hunting here or you can look up your creature on Tibia Fandom for example to see it's behavior and abilities.

Nightmare Minotaur Hunter

Also, if you're suffering from lag please see this question: How to fix lag and improve in-game latency

A good tip about the lag would be to check your options!

Click Show Advanced Options then Options->Misc->Optimise Connection Stability.

I checked the link you posted and

2. Can you confirm the Options->General->Optimise Connection Stability feature. I open Settings->Options and I only see Gameplay, Interface and Graphics boxes. What am I doing wrong here?
