Can we please stop destroying Aether DC with party finder? The lag is bad

Weird... Idk if it's related but sometimes I've experienced some sort of 'visual lag' on Savage fights and Alliance raids. Basically there's a lag in the animations, telegraphs, etc, but the actual fight timeline is going as intended - even my character 'freezes', but still moves like that. A few seconds later all of the animations fire up all at once.

I don't want to think it's internet lag because if I know where to stand I can do mechanics correctly even though the visual telegraphs aren't showing properly.

Some of that is the nature of how snapshots work in XIV. The visual indicators are not when damage goes out, it's when the boss finishes casting. You can't always rely on the animations.

The upside of that is that you can start running the second the boss finishes the cast to get to the place for the next mechanic.

That is internet lag.. probably on YOUR end. MY net was so bad it hiccuped and froze alot, if i did't dc it was like u said, everything goes off at once catching up. My net's a lot bette rnow, if i even get the d/c symbol it only lasts a second or two now.
