That is one eruption in all the hundreds now that I've had to run from and avoided successfull y. Any that I didn't avoid successfully was due to my own mistake or lost gamble or the poor positioning of another player. I am not one to call BS often and quite frankly get irritated with people who constantly blame things like lag to cover for their mistakes. It makes me think they're incapable of self identifying their own mistakes and will therefor continually repeat them. That or they're just stupid. That or they're lying to save face.

Latency and lag or whatever is not going to be the deciding factor in this confrontation. It has nothing to do with the 13 nail phase which seems to me so far to be the ultimate and truest test of this fight on top of everything else about it which leaves little room for error and sloppy play. This isn't Ifrit Hard; it isn't a fight you need to farm and fight the RNG. You have to kill it one time for one weapon. Anyone who unlocks it and never defeats it will not have been defeated by latency, they'll have been defeated by Ifrit.
You must be JP.
