    A lot of mechanics become quite predictable and even randomly placed mechanics can be estimated in their timing and prepared for.
    The problem with this is there is an intended game mechanic that isn't working like it should be, now because some people can "adapt" or when you "learn" his pattern to "predict" his movements that is not how the content is suppose to be run, it's like arguing they put in those trash mobs just so you skip them all in those "speed runs" in Amdapor keep.

    Wait, did you just say you shouldn't have to learn/know boss mechanics in order to beat them? Yes the fight is probably designed with a specific latency number in mind, and I'd estimate it to be ~100ms (the impossible threshold!) if not a little higher, but it does not mean they can not be accomplished with higher latency. How do you consistently clear content? From learning it. There have been a few fights I've walked into completely blind, have died miserably and absolutely loved that it offered me something different from standard tank and spank mechanics.

    It is like arguing you should win a marathon after spending the last 12 months on the couch eating chips and drinking coke, and then blaming the rain for you not winning/finishing.

    Latency can be a factor, but having 'untrained skills' can, and generally are larger ones.

    If my posts seem short or incoherent, I am probably editing the rest in.

    You are an idiot. Latency is affecting the outcome of players in HM Titan period. Should I record a video to show you how I dodge it every single time and still get hit, so you can stop arguing?
