Twintania - Divebombs phase

[NanoMidgy]

I'm having huge difficulties dodging divebombs. I'm European (obviously) and have always felt like my latency wasn't too good, not terrible, but not too good either, like have to start running before AoEs on Titan not to get hit.

On bombs phase we all run to "the pit" and run/spread out as soon as we see the black/green dot. No matter how focused I am, i'm getting hit waaay too often, especially during the second phase of bombs, when you're dealing with snakes at the same time.
It's so bad it's gotten to the point i'm thinking about just gearing up enough HP (and giving up on some DPS) to be able to survive divebombs and renounce dodging it.

What should I do ? I have even rented a gaming VPN (pingzapper) for a month to see if it was helping, but it's not really. Also patched system with Leatrix.

Is there any other way to make it easier ?

Try this...as soon as you hear the TRING TRING sound of the divebomb run straight for a second and then up-left (north-west)

Alternatively, position your camera in a way so that when you strafe right (E button by default if playing on a keyboard) you strafe away from the purple wall of death at a 90 degree angle instead of running forwards.

Another thing you can try is the good ol' latency titan trick, lets say that right after one dive twintania takes 5 seconds to swoosh down again, count till 4 and start running (not sure if this one will work though)

Good post thank you Misery

Any more thoughts guys ?

Turn off names and all effects for both you and your parties members. Without a video of you moving or some sort it is kind of hard to tell if you are dodging them as soon as you could be, but from my experience in the fight it makes it that much more difficult to dodge them if the sound doesnt go off for whatever reason if you can't clearly see the symbol, especially during the second phase when there are going to be skills going off all over the place. Alternatively, if you use voice chat for the raid have someone with very good reflexes say when to run.

The only other thing that I can think of is learning the timing so precisely that you can pre run and hope that the server doesn't update your position so quickly as to get your entire party hit.

If you are going down to the typical nook and have decent hp however, you should always be able to eat at least one dive bomb while fully buffed with succor and a stoneskin before dying as it should knock you straight into the middle of the arena if thats the way you are running. We have had people survive with 2 stacks from the adds on them while getting hit by this, so make sure your healers are on point in keeping you buffed if there is a good chance youll get hit.

As far as i know they are 8 seconds apart from each other.

Could also make a macro like this, and activate it when the first dive goes off.
/wait 7
/p Dive Inc <se.6>
/wait 8
/p Dive Inc <se.6>

And hope that it gives you a notice 0.5s in advance
This is the only thing i can think off to get a real 'move in advance' bonus lol

And wth at calling it out in voice chat lol
Guy A's reaction time + Voicecom delay + your own reaction time :P

Yeah the voice chat thing really isn't ideal, but it is something we were doing when a member was straight up not even getting any sort of indicator that it was coming and it helped. I would try turning off names and effects if you haven't already. I also noticed you posted this same thing on BG and stated you are trying to run to the side instead. If you are having trouble getting hit, you should always run to the middle of the arena so it isn't an instant one shot.
