This is as far as I read. If you know this fight inside and out, how have you never finished it alive?

I live in North America, so I suffer the same latency issues as everyone else here. If I don't move fast enough, I take damage from plumes/cracks, even if I'm not standing in them on my screen. However.. it's still very rare that get hit with them.

The fight requires patience, proper ability timing, and quick reflexes. Once you have all 3 of those mastered, the fight is a joke. If you pay attention and time everything correctly you can do multiple fights in a row without ever taking any damage from these 2 abilities. These are all good aspects of the fight, and I'd like to see them remain in future fights.

The latency issue won't be resolved until 2.0 afaik. I'd rather not have watered down content till that time just because someone can't react fast enough to something displayed on their screen, even if latency shortens the time needed to respond.
