When your attacking someone that player is nowhere near you but your char keeps swinging his weapon?

I dont think it was lag because when I change target my char goes to that player, but when I target the same player it did it again...

You mean someone is running and your character swings, say, a sword at them and it shouldn't hit by the looks of it?

It's common, it's not a bug, it's no big deal.

I always thought it was that person lagging or something... not sure.

Are you running other programs in the background? On my old computer if I listened to music at the same time as playing my character would look like they were attacking someone who wasn't there, but if I waited a few seconds it would usually snap to where they were. If the thing they were attacking happened to die the character wouldn't snap back there anymore... Is that sort of what you're talking about?

The attack triggered when the person was within range according to the server. They can be out of range by the time the animation resolves.

Maybe it was an Sin with return on someone and u stay swinging because your computer did maybe weird.

Lag. Your computer and the server don't agree where you character is, so it looks like you are hitting somebody you shouldn't be because your computer shows you at the wrong place.

The reverse is also comon. You run from a target and get hit while way outside of melee range.

I've had this happen and know it's not lag. I am in a battle with multiple targets around me. I'll do c-spacebar and be attacking and then after they are dead do the same and be hitting a person who isn't there, so I'll switch targets and in realtime I'm hitting that target until they are dead. I'll then hit c-spacebar and be attacking that same target that isnt' around me, but outside my bubble and I can see them taking the hits. Just a glitch on occasion.

no background program, like you mention I use to listen to music but would get some lag spike so I stopped...

forgot to mention in my first post that I was standing still, swinging my Hammer while the player im supposed to be attacking is running around...

thanks for all the help maybes its just liek HawkofStorms said..
