    After reading some comments here I can't help but put my opinion. There are several issues:

    - A player's dodging skill CAN be a issue yes, but that's in case they're NOT LAGGING and still get hit by it.

    - Don't forget this is a international MMO, there are ppl from all over the world playing so the most issue I see in this game is related to tunneling/connection route. Fights like T5+ and Titan EX are pretty unforgiving to anyone having lag (which I see as a not smart system taking in consider not all countries have "top tier" internet + server distance). Many people try to solve this issue by using programs such as Battleping, WTFast, etc. I personally dislike the idea, you already pay for the game sub and you'll also have to pay a extra software's monthly fee to be lagless, which is almost the same amount you pay for the game? Not everyone's currency is Dollar. :P

    - Predicting Titan's moves even while you're lagging was always UNWELCOMED in all groups I've done this. Try to predict a plume and have one or two of these not following the "stack strat", which seems to become a "rule" nowadays, then a healer or someone get hitted because you left a tad earlier and when group wipes or someone dies, you're blamed for it. LAG is not constant, it can delay 1 second..it can delay 5 seconds...etc.

    I kinda expect someone to eventually show up saying "Then don't play this game if you live so far away". To that I already let this: FF XIV is not region limited like a few other titles around being USA-only, Canada-only or EU-only. So if you're not happy, just leave the lagged group and try another Roulette or PF it.

    It's just sad how some delay can screw up everything, specially in this boss, taking in consider it's fight follows a specific order of atacks instead of random skills.
