This bug will continue forever?

If you believe it's not down to personal ability (which in most cases even with self denial it usually is down to the player), then it'll be your connection -> server.

Sorry, but it not worked, even with focus target in titan EX, when he start a cast bar is the same time plumes appear in the ground, see the cast bar or plumes not help in nothing...

Don't know what else to say... you could try pingzapper to improve your connection

Just run out of the red circle once it spawns and run back in as soon as it goes away. It really doesn't matter if the animation went off or not as long as you're out of the red before it goes away. (Alot has to do with connection) A lot of tanks do this to get back into position without the boss having to move around.

Only with the higher-level instances, as far as I know, I think low-level and open-world areas are still on the .3 delay.

Ignorance is bliss. I love how the people who haven't experienced the extreme lag others can suffer say stuff like "of course you can, its easy and simple".

I play XIV @ 2 locations. In one area I can be out of Plumes with a few seconds to spare and die. On the other connection at an internet cafe I feel like the flash. Dodging everything easily without any stress.

The difference is drastic.

I am a white mage and used to have that delay you are talking about back in November. A FC mate introduced me to a program called Battleping where it routes your IP through a server closer to the main SE network. Honestly, get that. It is 5$ for 30 days and it works tremendously. After DLing it, I don't die to lag in any fight, avoiding mechanics are a joke (except when RL extreme mode is going on playing under influences - gogo whiskey!) and it should fix that delay. Also, learn to hold down your right mouse button and strafe at all times as a healer. If you try to finish your cast then move you will die every time
