i have a really awesome custom built computer myself and fiber optic internet connection as well, i feel all their pain........but it may help them if they zoom the camera in for majority of the phases, and only zoom out on bombs, its how i fight it now and dont have much issue with that lag.....from what i seen, its the game design itself, like it seems like it can only do so many fps, and it tries to figure out the best order for the items to appear, which can also explain how some plumes almost half a second, or even a whole second, after the first plume appeared. but thats just a guess based on what i come across fighting him
