Is anyone else experiencing problems with their equipment sets not saving? It seems to work fine but when you relog it's back to the old set. Only way around it I found was deleting the set and remaking it.

The latency issues I've been dealing with for the past week and half.  Odd that I was at a steady 68/72 ms then all of a sudden it tanks rock bottom to 8k+ whenever I tried to doing a Mythic Keystone and or Raid content.  Thought the sole problem was on my end but in fact it was on Blizz's.....Loaded up another MMO and noticed the difference in ping.

I too have been having this problem. Even more so over the last few days. Nothing is helping to prevent it or correct it on the fly. Equipment resets, re-log attempts, pc power cycles are just a few proactive measures taken on my end (even ping fix programs a no go). No other ONLINE function is spiking while playing/doing. Even Battlenet operated games like Diablo 3 play latent free. I really think something (pre patch DL) has broken our Client/Server reliability.
