Either make dodging AoEs possible, or make them not instant-kills

MMO's are very low skill-intensive games and typically the people who try to gloat over them are those who can't compete in games that might take some. And they also usually aren't actually very good at the MMO's either, which is quite poetic.

Fail troll levels all the way to cap? Most impressive.

He's telling the truth, however. MMOs don't have very high skill ceilings, and don't really demand much of their players. Learn your rotation, dodge the big red marks. There's not much in the way of technical skill. Even if you factor in PvP (which this game doesn't have yet), there's not much in the way of proper yomi in most MMOs anyway.

Playing from Sweden on EU/US datacenter. Rarely have any issues getting out of AoEs. I didnt have issues in WoW either playing on US server, or in DaoC and ToR for that matter.

I thought the same thing until the second boss in darkhold tonight. In short, as a white mage which dodges the red circles and still gets hit, the fight's impossible. I haven't managed to dodge one, in 10+ attempts and believe me, I've been out, healthily out, a long way out of them and they've still connected. I've attempted running backward and forward constantly, only stopping to cast, and it hasn't done a damn thing. Even if the circle doesn't appear under my feet because I'm already out of it, it hits. In short, I've had to tell my static to do darkhold with another healer. I'll probably clear it when I level something which when KO'ed, doesn't lead to the death of everyone else.

But that's not an issue with skill or actual difficulty, that's just bad technical design.

What's so impressive about grinding FATEs for a couple days?

Happens very often to me too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one :p

This is by far the number one issue I have with ARR.
