    The only people who have a right to complain about plumes are melee. And honestly...if you can't figure out when puddles are going to pop in a scripted rotation, you probably shouldn't be doing an extreme fight.
    Are you dense, or have selective reading? It doesn't matter if it scripted and you follow the script to a fine point. If the server doesn't update your position due to the numerous potential network issues, or current server stress and delay in processing, it is irregardless if you predicted/dodge the plume or not. The fight is too heavily tuned based on a perfect connection. Need I repeat this again, and maybe it will sink into that thick skull of yours?

    I've been saying this for ages. Action MMOs like TERA allow for client-side hit detection in order to pull off fast-paced dodge-heavy combat with weaker servers and poor connections. SE clearly wants XIV to be largely built around leaning the "dance," but when that's so latency-dependent, the hit detection cannot really be server-side.

    I could do any amount of content in that game with a >200ms ping, and yet I eat Landslides and Weights that I'm not even near with lower ping than that in XIV...

    yep i tanked in Tera bosses that makes titan extreme a carebear tossing kisses around, in FFXIV i get out of aoes still get hit from time to time.....its frustrating eating a landslide that u avoided in your screen yet the game think u didnt, im sure my FC think im a baddie

    i dont mind wiping for hours learning encounters ect, but titan is a frustrating exp (hell i remember Coil T5 before 2.1....i was eating random divebombs , good thing now with 0.1 i can avoid 99% of them )

    i only have issues in FFXIV (never had issues in other mmorpgs eq2,wow, rift to name a few....) im from EU , and not gonna pay more in order to get less ping , put servers on EU or stop putting content that u need <100 ping
