are the combat log timestamps server generated? I know they use the client time (maybe via `CMSG_TIME_SYNC_RESPONSE ` ?) but I would imagine the actual generation of the timestamps are done server side and offset by client time or something?

it seems like all the combat logs are SMSG_* (so server-sent) but do the combat log timestamps use the time from the event or when they receive the event

just tested and combared to combat log

```
So there's a 2ms differeence between `SMSG_SPELL_START / GO` and `SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS` (not sure if START OR GO maps to SUCCESS). So uhhhh I'm not sure if this answers my question, but sort of seems the combat log event timestamps are client-side generated if there's a discrepancy here

Can't find the ymir source code so can't tell if the time generated by it is from the event or just the time it sniffed the event. I'll keep digging

OK, so does that mean the timestamp is part of the event itself?

I wonder why the SPELL_GO timestamp is 18:06:01.434 vs. SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS is 18:06:01.436 then. random 2ms difference
