AOE.

I want to know how many people are having trouble dodging AOE. I mean the AOE circles, cones, or lines start and you THINK you successfully got out of them, but they still hit you. There has been countless times where I successfully get out of the AOE range only to be hit. It is quite annoying and should be addressed.

i got problems but the only reason i have it is because i play on a Japanese server and have 300+ ping

Edit:
meaby you just play with high ping to?
EU servers are in Canada like the NA once

Fine on my side. If you're inside the red when the cast finishes, you'll get hit regardless if the red circle is still on the ground.

It doesn't usually happen to me in instances, but when solo it happens a lot. This game easily has the worst latency I've seen for US players (At least West coast), on BLM I can always start moving when I have about 0.5 remaining on a cast, and it ends up casting it anyway. It's not game-breaking, but it is annoying.

This, it is based on cast bar, NOT animation. This means if you are out when cast finishes, you can run back in safely.

I do not have lag. I play on a world fit for my location.

This issue has gotten better. During beta i would say 75% of the time I am out of the red before casting bar completed and still took damage. SE acknowledged this was do to server/client checks. I have had it happen a couple times I noticed still and was not a big deal till happened to me when fighting titan and I was way out of charge line and got knocked off still. These are not due to latency but server checks that I still don't think are quite working correctly.

Closed beta was pretty bad for it, it is a lot better now. So far the only AoE's i consistently get hit by even when i'm outside of the circle even before the cast is done is the phlegm spit from the 1st boss of wanderer's palace and the small ice AoE from chimera for the relic fight.

I have a character on a Japanese server while stationed in America - I have no such issues getting out of AoE attacks.

Yup, sometimes with 0,5/1 sec delay, but I always keep that in mind and try to predict it..
