I haven't heard of that in FFXIV before, so I can't comment on it.


There must be another underlying issue with your connection if you simply cannot dodge anything with 80ms, that's extremely bizarre.


The cast bar suggestion was worth a shot seeing as plenty have found it helped in the past, always worth a shot!


As for the Summoner DOT's as the above person said, everyone has that issue, even those living next to the data-centre.
