Not sure if it's because of a new map or if it's left over bug for Night Walkers, but I get dced in the maps for 2nd part of the Vanishing Journey Storyline (Stone Crabs, Fire Ereda, and the white crawlers).

Bug type:
crash

Brief bug summary:
When you try to fight in any of the Extinction Zones (Rock, Fire, or Soul) as a Night Walker you will dc if you start landing too many blows at the same time (using either Shadow Bat, Shadow Spark, Quintuple Star, Shadow Illusion, or Shadow Spear, just by themselves or in a combination with/without standard NW buffs).
This only happens in the Vanishing Journey maps (did not notice for the first part in Lake of Oblivion sections, haven't gotten to Lying Repose section yet). Does not happen on other older maps (I do a full buff combo, Shadow Illusion+Dominion+Shadow Bat+Shadow Spear and don't dc in Twilight Perion maps or in DIPQ, lag a bit, but never dc).

More details:
Crash doesn't always happen but the game/screen noticeable lags/freezes while sfx of hits being land can still be heard right before dc. Dc/lag was prevented by waiting till all hits land on first target before attacking again [If I'm using Quintuple Star, wait till all damage stops hitting target from one Quintuple Star (either from Dark Servant, Shadow Illusion, Shadow Bat, or Shadow Spear, or just Quintuple Star itself; more or less the same with Shadow Spark while trying to avoid hitting too many monsters with it]
(anything not included in the other sections of your report)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to one of the Extinction Zone maps.
2. Use either Quintuple Star, Shadow Spark, Shadow Bat, Shadow Spear, or Shadow Illusion continuously (for highest chance of dc, use all at the same time along with Throwing Booster to increase attack speed.)
3. Game/screen show lag/freeze for a few moments before blacking out and dcing.
(if not covered in the summary)

Character name: Cygnus277
Character level: 200
Character job: Night Walker
World name: Scania
Date and time of the incident:
basically 2/3 days since Vanishing Journey came out and up to present time
(mention your time zone if you aren't posting Pacific time)

    Happens to me too as a Night Walker. Most tests have been done in Arcane River's Lying in Repose maps. Night Walkers cannot kill mobs efficiently and at its full potential in its current state. Please fix.
