Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

I've never got surprisingly hit by an AOE. Maybe my net speed makes it easier for me to dodge I don't know. But either way whenever I have got hit by AOE I knew that I was slow or got tunnel vision. I think a lot of people are trying to use "lag" or "crappy servers" as an excuse to their bad skills. Everyone in my guild used to say the same thing, after 5 or so raid days focusing on just Titan now everyone can one shot the whole fight without anyone getting hit by any aoe. That makes me believe that it's really the players skill and maybe learning curve for new MMO'ers.

i shall quote this post below from a few pages back.

What most people defending the system and saying "You just have to know how to learn the patterns" don't realize is:

The poorly designed engine is going to gimp future content.

The thing is, I ENJOY Titan type fights. I just can't really enjoy them here because SE seems to be having trouble programming a game with responsiveness.

Why do you think Titan has a pattern? because SE knows the shortcomings of their coding. So all future content will be scripted and easily learned... requiring no actual skill beyond "Knowing what comes next"

Furthermore, SE is going to gimp stuff like Titan even more... thinking that will alleviate the problem... not realizing that we want Titan... just in a responsive, delay free environment.

Until that happens, Fights will be scripted and get gimped to facilitate shitty coding

Explain this to me then...

I know the pattern and preemptively move in preparation for plumes. Usually when it lands on you, you are directly in the middle. I usually end up around the same distance from the circle using the preemptive moving. A lot of the time this works fine and I take no damage. Other times I end up at the exact same distance from the circle and take damage even though I am out of it. I can't even trust that doing the same thing twice gives the same results...
