If i am reading this correctly 24 hops taking around 267 ms. Not exactly a server i would choose to play tf2 on or anything but it is how it is.

doing this tracert eliminates the "But on my screen" if your ping is good and your PC is not a total POS you should be able to avoid the zones most of the time, if you REALLY have issues with ping and PC sucks then you might have to rely on watching Ifrit's motions and NOT WAITING FOR CRACKS. If you see him crouch down start running back immediately this guarantees you will not be in eruptions.
all I'm saying here is, it does not have to be this way going forward.
