I don't recommend staying away from everyone since you're almost certainly going to screw over people (yourself and/or others) in the double plume.

Uh, by running pre-emptively, you screw people over. Since you could move before they pop and misplace them, getting other people hit.

The problem is, Titan EX have literally NO room for mistake. Either you begin to dodge the exact millisecond it pops or you die. And even with that, there is no guarantee someone wasn't 2 piwels away from the group and screw everyone.

I started to dodge the plumes just after the animation of his auto attack, and so far (only have seen post heart for 3 seconds) it works a bit. I get 1 plume only when I get hit, and it seems the plumes aren't placed away from the party pack.

You don't actually. I've moved late several times and not gotten hit.

sit 1 inch behind the stack, run south instead of west, even enough room for it on doubles

so sad I can't record all the times I move before the plumes even appear on screen and still die from them...

Your playing with a GeForce 7800 and you wonder why you have problems?

I wonder how many people blame lag but just have shit computers. I have 2 Mbps connection and I am located in Europe and have no lags as long as I am not watching Youtube or so.

And I can record myself moving late and not getting hit, your point? I know it happens to people, and there are a couple of reasons it could happen. I've seen people playing from Australia dodge every single one without issue.

As healer i find a problem for me is casting when they spawn, if interrupted and ran immediately i still get hit.

Never cast something instant while dodging plumes or cast something when plumes is coming where you'll have to interrupt the cast to dodge plumes. It will register that you're still in the plumes even if you're far out of it. This really annoys me. I sometimes accidentally cast regen while moving to dodge plumes and I get hit and die somewhere pretty far away from the plumes. Other players say they saw me out of it. I've heard casting something immediately when you're out of the plumes can force it to register you outside the plumes if you want to be sure. But the key point is if you're doing nothing but moving during plumes you're guaranteed to dodge it.
