Count Geonor Ranger Bug

I'm not sure if this bug exists specifically because of Count Geonor, or if it's ranger related, but Lightning Rod either doesn't exist after casting, or all instances of Lightning Rod get cleansed from the ground at arbitrary moments during the Count Geonor fight.

Additionally, he now hits with his top-down ice and blood columns, even if you're wildly outside of the range (I mean roughly 6 player characters-distance from the nearest column).

Update, these two are unrelated. The lightning rod bug is occurring in Act 2 also. The Geonor may have been lag related?
